Answer:
Option B, aspirin’s ester group provides greater digestibility to aspirin
Explanation:
Aspirin ester group has three parts
- carboxylic acid functional group (R-COOH)
- ester functional group (R-O-CO-R')
- aromatic group (benzene ring)
Aspirin is a weak acid and hence it cannot dissolve in water readily. The reaction of Aspirin ester group with water is as follows -
aspirin
(acetylsalicylic acid) + water → salicylic acid + acetic acid
(ethanoic acid)
Aspirin passes through the stomach and remains unchanged until it reaches the intestine where it hydrolyses ester to form the active compound.
<span>True. Acid rain is formed when compounds released during the burning of fossil fuels, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide, dissolve in water droplets in clouds. These then fall as rain as part of the water cycle. While some rain is naturally acidic, human activities, like burning fossil fuels, have made it worse.</span>
Answer:
Francium is hypothesized to be the most reactive metal, but so little of it exists or can be synthesized, and the longest half-life of its most abundant isotope is 22.00 minutes, so that its reactivity cannot be determined experimentally.
Explanation:
Francium is an alkali metal in group 1/IA. All alkali metals have one valence electron. As you go down the group, the number of electron energy levels increases – lithium has two, sodium has three, etc..., as indicated by the period number. The result is that the outermost electron gets further from the nucleus. The attraction from the positive nucleus to the negative electron is less. This makes it easier to remove the electron and makes the atom more reactive.
Experimentally speaking, cesium (caesium) is the most reactive metal.
