<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

pH is defined as negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. It is basically defined as the power of hydrogen ions in a solution. It ranges to the scale of 1-14. The solutions are divided into 3 categories on the basis of the pH range:

  1. If the pH of the solution ranges from 1 to 6.9, the solution is said to be acidic. Less the pH, more the acidity of the solution.
  2. If the pH of the solution ranges from 7.1 to 14, the solution is said to be basic. More the pH, more the acidity of the solution.
  3. If the pH of the solution is 7, the solution is said to be a neutral solution.

We are given:

pH of vinegar = 5

pH of rainwater = 6

As, the pH of both the solutions is less than 7. Thus, both the solutions are acidic in nature and also pH of vinegar is less, so this solution will be more acidic in nature.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

Car manufacturers use radiation for which task?
Lilit [14]

ANSWER: B) drying paint

EXPLANATION: Car manufacturers use UV radiation to dry the paint o the vehicle. The high reflectivity of infrared radiation helps to keep the car interior cool. It also gives advantages over convection heating. It can provide both high intensity and low intensity heat and is a low cost heat source when compared in dollars per unit of energy consumed. The IR heating also doesn't penetrate deeply and apply heating only on the outer surface.

Which statements about peptide bonds are true? The formation of a peptide bond involves a dehydration reaction. Peptides are pol
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

- The formation of a peptide bond involves a dehydration reaction.

- A tripeptide contains three amino acid residues.

Explanation:

Peptide bonds are a type of covalent bonds that form between amino acid molecules. A peptide bond links two amino acids together by removing an hydrogen atom from the amine functional group (-NH2) and an hydroxyl (OH) from carboxylic functional group (-COOH) to release a water molecule. Hence, the formation of a peptide bond involves a dehydration reaction i.e loss of water.

This linking of one amino acid to another via a peptide bond forms a polypeptide and consequently a protein molecule. In other words, proteins are polymers of peptides. However, the linkage of three amino acids is called TRIPEPTIDE
