<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

What is a reaction mechanism
ehidna [41]

Answer:

In chemistry, a reaction mechanism is the step by step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical change occurs. A chemical mechanism is a theoretical conjecture that tries to describe in detail what takes place at each stage of an overall chemical reaction.

For an ideal gas under constant volume, if the pressure is tripled, what happens to the Kelvin temperature?
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Increase pressure 3X => increase Temperature 3X

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac Law => T ∝ P => T =kP => Empirical Relationship => T₁/P₁ = T₂/P₂  

=> T₂ = T₁P₂/P₁

Given P₂ = 3P₁ => T₂ = T₁(3P₁)/P₁ = 3T₁

how many molecules of sulfuric acid are in a spherical raindrop of diameter 6.0 mm if the acid rain has a concentration of 4.4 *
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The number of moles =

Moles=4.97\times 10^{-8}

The number of molecules =

Molecules = 2.99\times 10^{16}

Explanation:

Volume of the sphere is given by :

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

here, r = radius of the sphere

radius=\frac{diameter}{2}

radius=\frac{6.0}{2}

Radius = 3 mm

r = 3 mm

1 mm = 0.01 dm (1 millimeter = 0.001 decimeter)

3 mm = 3 x 0.01 dm = 0.03 dm

r = 0.03 dm

<em>("volume must be in dm^3 , this is the reason radius is changed into dm"</em>

<em>"this is done because 1 dm^3 = 1 liter and concentration is always measured in liters")</em>

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi 0.03^{3}

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi 2.7\times 10^{-5}

V=1.13\times 10^{-4}dm^{3}

V=1.13\times 10^{-4}L   (1 L = 1 dm3)

Now, concentration "C"=

C=4.4\times 10^{-4}moles/liter  

The concentration is given by the formula :

C=\frac{moles}{Volume(L)}

This is also written as,

Moles = C\times Volume

Moles=1.13\times 10^{-4}\times 4.4\times 10^{-4}

Moles=4.97\times 10^{-8}moles

One mole of the substance contain "Na"(= Avogadro number of molecules)

So, "n"  mole of substance contain =( n x Na )

N_{a}=6.022\times 10^{23}

Molecules =

Molecule=4.97\times 10^{-8}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}

Molecules = 2.99\times 10^{16} molecules

How do metals form chemical bonds with other metals?
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Metallic bonding  

Explanation:

Metals have low ionization energies. Therefore, their valence electrons are easily delocalized (attracted to the neighbouring metal atoms). These delocalized electrons are then not associated with a specific metal atom.  Since the electrons are “free”, the metal atoms have become cations, and the electrons are free to move throughout the whole crystalline structure.

We say that a metal consists of an array of cations immersed in a sea of electrons .

The electrons act as a “glue” holding the cations together.

Metallic bonds are the attractive forces between the metal cations and the sea of electrons.

In an NaK alloy, for example, the Na and K atoms contribute their valence electrons to the "sea".  The atoms aren’t bonded to each other, but they are held in place by the metallic bonding.
