The empirical formula of c12h24o12 is a carbohydrate.

<h3>Carbohydrate</h3>

A carbohydrate is a biomolecule made up of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) atoms, often with a hydrogen-oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water), and so having the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n (where m may or may not be different from n). All molecules that meet this exact stoichiometric criterion are not, however, automatically categorized as being carbohydrates.

The term is most frequently used in biochemistry, where it is used as a synonym for saccharide, a class of compounds that includes sugars, starches, and cellulose. The four chemical categories of saccharides are monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. The smallest carbohydrates, monosaccharides and disaccharides, are sometimes referred to as sugars.

Write a net ionic equation that describes a slightly basic solution resulting from dissolving nac2h3o2 in water. Identify all of

Natali [406]

Answer: The net ionic equation will be as follows.

$CH_{3}COO^{-}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOH(aq) + OH^{-}(aq)$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the given reaction is as follows.

$CH_{3}COONa(aq) + H_{2}O(l) \rightleftarrow CH_{3}COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq)$

We know that a strong acid or base will dissociate completely into a solvent whereas a weak acid or base dissociates partially into the solvent. Hence, the ionic equation will be as follows.

$CH_{3}COO^{-}(aq) + Na^{+}(aq) H_{2}O(l) \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOH(aq) + Na^{+}(aq) + OH^{-}(aq)$ Now, we will cancel the spectator ions from the above equation. Therefore, the net ionic equation will be as follows.

$CH_{3}COO^{-}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOH(aq) + OH^{-}(aq)$

or, $C_{2}H_{3}O^{-}_{2}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) \rightleftharpoons HC_{2}H_{3}O_{2}(aq) + OH^{-}(aq)$

Answer:

the answer is b

Explanation:

so the arrows signify the movement/ flow of energy from one organism to the next. so as one animal consumes another the energy from the the consumed animal flows through the consumer. its like eating a protein bar and the energy the protein bar gives you is what you have gotten from consuming the bar.
