Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a hydrogen atom comes in contact with an electronegative atom then it results in the formation of a chemical bond.

More is the electronegativity of combining atom, more stronger will be the bond with hydrogen atom. As a result, the compound formed will not easily give up hydrogen atom upon dissociation.

Whereas less is the electronegativity of atom combining with hydrogen atom, easily it will donate the hydrogen atom upon dissociation.

Since, out of the given option sulfur (S) atom has low electronegativity as compared to oxygen and nitrogen atom.

Hence, $CH_{3}SH$ will easily donate hydrogen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that $CH_{3}SH$ molecule would be the best hydrogen bond donor.

Liquid A and liquid B form a solution that behaves ideally according to Raoult's law. The vapor pressures of the pure substances

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Vapor pressure of solution → 151.1 Torr

Option 2.

Explanation:

Raoult's Law is relationed to colligative property about vapor pressure. A determined solute, can make, the vapor pressure of solution decreases.

ΔP = P° . Xm

where Xm is the mole fraction of solute, P° (vapor pressure of pure solvent)

and ΔP = Vapor pressure of pure solvent - Vapor pressure of solution.

In order to determine the vapor pressure of solution, we need to determine, the vapor pressure of B and A in the solution

B's pressure = P° B . Xm

When we add A to B, A works as the solute and B, as the solvent.

Vapor pressure of pure B is 135 torr. (P° B)

In order to determine, the Xm, we use the moles of A and B

Xm = 5.3 mol of B / (1.28 + 5.3) → 0.806

B's pressure = 135 Torr . 0.806 → 108.81 Torr

If mole fraction of B is 0.806, mole fraction for A (solute) will be (1 - 0.806)

A's pressure = 218 Torr . 0.194 → 42.3 Torr

Vapor pressure of solution is sum of vapor pressures of solute + solvent.

Vapor pressure of solution = 42.3 Torr + 108.81 Torr → 151.1 Torr

2. How are these nutrients used by your body?

REY [17]

The nutrients that the body breaks down into basic units are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. From carbohydrates comes glucose, your body's -- especially the brain's -- primary form of fuel; from fats we get glycerol and fatty acids, many of which are essential ingredients in hormones and the protective sheath in our brain that covers communicating neurons; and from proteins we get amino acids, which are the building blocks to lots of structures, including our blood, muscle, skin, organs, antibodies, hair, and fingernails.

Each of these nutrients travels down a different pathway, but all can eventually fuel the body's production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is essentially our bodies' ultimate energy currency.
