What chemical property is given to a biomolecule with a hydroxyl (--oh) functional group?

3 0

A biomolecule with a hydroxyl (--oh) functional group is given the polar chemical property since organic molecules with an OH group are polar.

A part of a larger molecule is made up by a functional group. The hydroxyl group (-OH) that characterizes alcohols, an oxygen with a hydrogen attached, is an example of it. This group can be found on any number of different molecules.

Functional groups have characteristic chemistries, just as elements have unique properties., although perhaps not identically, to an -OH on another molecule. Although perhaps not identically to an -OH on another molecule, an -OH group on one molecule will tend to react similarly.

Answer:

The equation that tends to answer this question, (omitting the presence of water) is:

Fe (ClO4) 3 -----------> Fe (+3) + ClO4 (-1)

Explanation:

The numbers that we see in parentheses would be the oxidation numbers of each compound, in the case of iron, iron acts with an oxidation number of +3, and in the case of perchlorate it would be -1.

The stoichiometric name according to IUPAC (most widely used chemical nomenclature) is iron perchlorate.

Which equation represents sublimation?

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer is 3) - H₂O(s) → H₂O(g)

Sublimation can be defined as the type of phase conversion of a substance which is in its solid phase to a gaseous phase without going through its liquid phase. 

According to the given choices only third one is correct because solid H₂O goes to its vapor without going liquid state.
