Answer:
D. The electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms pull electron density from the oxygen in trifluoroacetate. The negative charge is more stabilized in trifluoroacetate by this effect.
Explanation:
The structures of trifluoroacetate and acetic acid are both shown in the image attached.
The trifluoroacetate anion (CF3CO2-), just like the acetate anion has in the middle, two oxygen atoms.
However, in the trifluoroacetate anion, there are also three electronegative fluorine atoms attached to the nearby carbon atom attached to the carbonyl, and these pull some electron density through the sigma bonding network away from the oxygen atoms, thereby spreading out the negative charge further. This effect, called the "inductive effect" stabilizes the anion formed,the trifouoroacetate anion is thus more stabilized than the acetate anion.
Hence, trifluoroacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, having a pKa of -0.18.
Ammonification refers to chemical reactions in which amino groups (NH2) associated with organic forms of nitrogen are converted into ammonia (NH3) or ammonium (NH4+).
Answer:
In the picture, it's shown that the energy from the sun and carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants through the leaf and is used for cooking food in plants. It is also shown that nutrients and water needed for the plant is absorbed through the roots of the plant. And it's also shown that cooking results in the formation of Glucose and Oxygen in which oxygen is released into the atmospehere and the glucose is stored in the plant for its own needs.
Answer:
So... for the element of PHOSPHORUS, you already know that the atomic number tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 15 electrons in a Phosphorus atom. Looking at the picture, you can see there are two electrons in shell one, eight in shell two, and five in shell three.
The answer is 0 Newtons
This is because of a key word in the question: “constant”
When we say something has a constant speed, that means that its acceleration is 0.
Using the equation derived for Newton’s 2nd law, we see that F=ma
Force = mass x acceleration
If acceleration, a, equals 0, then when we multiply our mass times acceleration 0
F=m(0)
Anything times zero equals zero
So, F=0
