<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct answer is pentane-1,5-diamine</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The distinctive smell of dead animals comes largely from molecules like cadaverine and putrescine that are made when proteins break down, but the decomposition of high-protein plants can make a deathly smell too. Cadaverine is a foul-smelling diamine compound produced by the putrefaction of animal tissue. Cadaverine is a toxic diamine with the formula NH2(CH2)5NH2, which is similar to putrescine. It is the chemical that comes from dead fish

Which statement describes a change that occurs during a chemical reaction? A. Atoms in the original substances are changed into
trapecia [35]

Answer:

B. Atoms in the original substances are arranged in a different way to make new substances.

Explanation:

The best statement that describes a change that occurs in a chemical reaction is that atoms in the original substances are arranged in a different way to make new substances.

  • Chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of matter.
  • The law postulates that "matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction but they are simply rearranged".
  • Therefore, atoms  of compounds forms new bonds by rearranging to give a new product.

Is this an example of decomposition<br> 2CH4 + 402 → 2C02 + 4H2O
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Identify each equation as a composition reaction, a decomposition reaction, or neither.

Fe2O3 + 3 SO3 → Fe2(SO4)3

NaCl + AgNO3 → AgCl + NaNO3

(NH4)2Cr2O7 → Cr2O3 + 4 H2O + N2

Solution

In this equation, two substances combine to make a single substance. This is a composition reaction.

Two different substances react to make two new substances. This does not fit the definition of either a composition reaction or a decomposition reaction, so it is neither. In fact, you may recognize this as a double-replacement reaction.

A single substance reacts to make multiple substances. This is a decomposition reaction.

Test Yourself

Identify the equation as a composition reaction, a decomposition reaction, or neither.

C3H8 → C3H4 + 2 H2

Explanation:

I hope I help :)))

irga5000 [103]
Answer:
            <span>In the addition of hbr to 1-butyne the electrophile in the first step of the mechanism is <u>Hydrogen atom of HBr</u>.

Explanation:
                   In this reaction first of all HBr approaches the triple bond. A Pi Complex (weak inter-molecular interactions) is formed between the two molecules. And the triple bond attacks the partial positive hydrogen atom creating a negative charge on Bromine along with positive charge on itself (Sigma Complex). In second step the negative Bromide attacks the positive carbon of Butyne.</span>

Which of the following does not apply to water molecules?
serg [7]

Answer:

It is the last one.

Explanation:

Water molecules are polar, they have cohesive properties, and water is less dense when it is solid than when it is a liquid, that is why ice floats in liquid water. However, water is a very good solvent, it can dissolve many solids, including sugar, salt, and other hydrophilic substances.
