`Remember that an acid is something that donates hydrogen ions. So, when considering the formula HC2H3O2 (acetic acid), which of

the hydrogens listed are the ones that ionize (fall apart into solution as hydrogen ions)

Answer:

The H in the carboxyl group.

Explanation:

Acetic acid can be written as CH₃COOH, where -COOH is the functional group carboxyl, responsible for the acidity of organic acids. The H in the carboxyl group is the one that is donated in the acid reaction.

CH₃COOH(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺

Acetic acid is a weak acid, so just a small fraction of the molecules undergo this reaction to donate their hydrogen.

Write a balanced nuclear equation for the formation of 28 Si 14 from beta-minus emission.
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Phosphorus-28 undergoes beta-minus decay to produce

  • an electron,
  • a Silicon-28 nuclei, and
  • an electron antineutrino.

\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}

Explanation:

In simple words, when a nucleus undergoes beta-minus decay, a neutron is converted to a proton. An electron and an electron antineutrino will be released.

\rm ^{1}_{0}n^{0} \to ^{1}_{1}p^{+} + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e^{-} + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}.

One way to tell whether a neutron is converted to a proton, but not vice versa, is to check the sum charges on the two sides of this equation.

  • Left-hand side: 0. Neutron is neutral.
  • Right-hand side: 1 + (-1) = 0. Each proton carries a charge of +1. Each electron (beta-minus particle) carries a charge of -1. Antineutrinos are neutral.

The charges on the two sides of this equation is the same. Hence this nuclear equation is possible (but not necessarily correct; however, if the proton and the neutron are in the wrong place the charge won't even be the same.)

Since the mass number of a proton and a neutron are both 1, the overall mass number of the atom will stay the same.

The atomic number is the number of protons in each atom. That number determines the symbol and the chemical properties of the atom. When one neutron in an atom is converted to a proton, the atomic number of the atom will increase by 1.

The atomic number of the daughter nucleus, silicon, is 14. It takes a parent nucleus with atomic number 14 - 1 = 13 to produce a silicon atom. Refer to a modern periodic table. Atomic number 13 corresponds to the element aluminum.

Also, the mass number of the daughter nucleus is 28. Since the mass number would stay the same in a beta decay, the mass number of the parent nucleus would also be 28. In other words, it takes an aluminum-28 atom to undergo beta-decay to produce a silicon-28 atom.

Complete the other details (electron and electron antineutrino) to obtain the equation

\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}.

Plant cells have a large central vacuole, which animal cells lack. What function does this organelle perform?
Lapatulllka [165]
The central vacuole stores materials, wastes, and helps give the plant structure and support.

Hope this helps!

NEED HELP PLEASE!!!!
Feliz [49]
I think the correct answer would be the third option. The reason I2 has a higher melting point than F2 is because I2 possesses a more polarizable electron cloud. I2 contains more electrons than F2 which would result to a stronger intermolecular forces. Having stronger intermoleculer forces would mean more energy is needed to break the bonds so a higher melting point would be observed.

Characteristics of crystal​
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Crystalline solids, or crystals, have distinctive internal structures that in turn lead to distinctive flat surfaces, or faces. The faces intersect at angles that are characteristic of the substance. When exposed to x-rays, each structure also produces a distinctive pattern that can be used to identify the material.

For the reaction shown, calculate how many grams of each product form when the following amounts of reactant completely react to
stira [4]
This may help you
<span>You need to use some stoichiometry here. The only way to do that is if you're working in moles. Since you're given grams of Al, you can convert that moles by dividing by the molar mass. Then from looking at the coefficients in your equation, you can see that for however many moles of Al react, the same numbers of moles of Fe will be produced, but only half as many moles of Al2O3 will be produced. To go back to grams, multiply the moles of each product that you get by their molar masses!</span>
