<u><em>Answer:</em></u>The compound ammonia given by fish is alkaline
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u><u>We can classify elements/compounds based on their pH values into three types:</u>
<u>acids:</u> these are compounds having pH value lower than 7
<u>neutral:</u> these are compounds having pH value equal to 7
<u>alkalies:</u> these are compounds having pH values higher than 7
This is shown in the attached image
We are given that the pH of the compound ammonia generated by the fish is
above 7.
According to the above explanation, compound ammonia would be an alkaline compound.
Hope this helps :)</span>
Answer:
19 protons, 20 neutrons and 18 electrons.
Explanation:
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.
You can identify a substance, by testing the melting and boiling point and find a known substance that has the same melting and boiling points as the one tested
