Answer:

Explanation: So, the atomic number is the number of protons present in an atom. For example, Helium's atomic number is 2, meaning it only has 2 protons. In most cases, the number of nuetrons and protons are equal, so Helium (usually) has 2 protons and 2 nuetrons - this is the nucleus. The atomic mass, or mass per nucleon is the proton and nuetron added together, so the atomic mass of Helium is about 4. Therefore, on the periodic table, as the atomic number increases by 1, the atomic mass increases by about 2 (the atomic mass is an average so it's not exact).

METHANOL + ETHANOIC ACID

Sergio [31]

Answer:

if you’re looking for a balanced equation it would be:

Methanol +ethanoic acid ==> methyl ethanoate + water ( in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid )

CH3OH + CH3COOH==> CH3COOCH3 + H2O

~~~~~~

But, if you were looking for what it would be called it would be:

ethanoic acid with methanol will produce methyl ethanoate.

~~~~~~

And the reaction between Methanol and Ethanoic acid is known as esterification.

What forms of energy are invoked when snow on a mountain breaks loose, resulting in a avalanche

lana [24]

Answer:

As water vapor rises, there is an increase in the gravitational potential energy of the system. Part of this potential energy is released as snow falls onto the mountain. If an avalanche occurs, the snow on the mountain accelerates down slope, converting more <u>gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy.</u>

the bond formed between the carboxylic acid group of one amino acid and the amino group of the next amino acid is a(n) bond.

Naya [18.7K]

Peptide bonds are amide connections between two amino acids' -carboxyl and -amino groups.

The covalent link created by the dehydration reaction (loss of a water molecule) between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group on the next is known as a peptide bond. Peptide bonds are created in polypeptides through a condensation reaction between the carboxyl groups of one amino acid and the amino groups of the following amino acid, all while removing water. When the carboxyl group of one molecule combines with the amino group of the other molecule, releasing a molecule of H2O as a result, a peptide bond is created between the two molecules.

What is the working of NMR?

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

NMR stands for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, and NMR spectroscopy is the technology that makes use of the phenomena of NMR in the analysis of a material's molecular structure through measurement and observance of the nuclear spin interactions, in order to determine the biological, physical and chemical properties of the material

NMR works by the noting that some atoms in molecules placed in a strong magnetic field display the characteristics of small magnets. The application of a broad spectrum radio frequency to the molecules will cause the nuclei to resonate at particular frequencies. An NMR spectrum is formed from the measured nuclei resonant frequencies such that the graph peaks shows the correct frequencies in the sample and the peak height is directly related to the proportion or number of the nuclei which are resonating to a given frequency, such that the frequency values are indicative of the type of atoms and their distances apart from a given atom
