Which shows the formula for an Organic acid

Chemistry
1 answer:
tresset_1 [31]3 years ago
3 0
Answer:
            The formula of Organic acid is as follow,

                                                 R-COOH

Explanation:
                   The class of organic acids is called Carboxylic Acids. In above general structure, R is alkyl group and can vary. While -COOH is the functional group. 
                    Carboxylic Acids has the tendency to loose protons and their pKa value depends upon the alkyl group. For example the pKa value of Acetic acid (R = -CH₃) is 4.7. The driving force for this acidity is the stability of carboxylate (conjugate base) due resonance. i.e

                               RCOOH     ⇄    RCOO⁻  +  H⁺
Where;
            RCOO⁻  =  Carboxylate Ion (Conjugate base)

What examples does<br> - Making Materials<br> - Moving Materials<br> - Removing Waste
Sidana [21]

Answer:

You remove waste as a gas (carbon dioxide), as a liquid (urine and sweat), and as a solid. Excretion is the process of removing wastes and excess water from the body. Recall that carbon dioxide travels through the blood and is transferred to the lungs where it is exhaled

Moving Materials include aluminum foil tape, shipping tape, box tape and duct tape. Moving labels take the guesswork out of the moving process.

John Dalton and Antoine Lavoisier were alchemists who tried to convert diamonds to gold.
larisa86 [58]
This is false. They were both chemists and they made many discoveries such as realizing that charcoal and diamond are different forms of the same element and proposing an atomic theory, but they never tried to turn diamonds to gold.

What indicators of a chemical reaction occurred in the following equation?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

1) evolution of gas

2) evolution of heat

Explanation:

In this reaction, glucose is broken down into its constituents; carbon dioxide and water. The question is to decipher indicators of a chemical reaction from the equation.

If we look at the equation carefully, we will notice that a gas was evolved (CO2). The evolution of a gas indicates that a chemical reaction must have taken place. Secondly, energy is given off as heat. This is another indication that a chemical reaction has taken place.

How many kj of heat are needed to completely melt 32.3 g of h2o, given that the water is at its melting point? the heat of fusio
timurjin [86]

Answer: fourth option, 10.8 kJ


Explanation:


The <em>heat of fusion</em>, also named latent heat of fusion, is the amount of heat energy required to change the state of a substance from solid to liquid (at constant pressure).


The data of the <em>heat of fusions</em> of the substances are reported in tables and they can be shown either per mole or per gram of substance.


In this case we have that the<em> heat of fusion for water </em>is reported per mole: <em>6.02 kJ/mole</em>.


The formula to calculate <em>how many kJ of heat (total heat) are needed to completely melt 32.3 g of water, given that the water is at its melting point</em> is:

  • Heat = number of moles × heat of fusion

The calculations are:

  • number of moles = mass / molar mass

        number of moles = 32.3 g / 18.015 g/mol = 1.79 mol

       

  • Heat = 1.79 mol × 6.02 kJ / mol = 10.8 kJ ← answer
