Answer:

A

Explanation:

These are the properties of an acidic solution. The higher the H+ ions in the solution the higher the acidity. H+ is also a measure of pH because pH is the negative log of the H+ ions in a solution. The more the H+ ions, the lower the pH of the solution. The H+ ions also allow the solution to conduct electricity because they take up the electrons and transport across from the anode to the cathode. Acidic solutions are also corrosive because they are highly oxidizing – the H+ ions accept electrons to turn to H₂ gas.

What differentiates one amino acid from the other?
Andrews [41]

Answer: B) R group

Explanation: An aminoacid is composed by an amino group, an acid or carbonyl group and a side chain or R group, all bonded to a central carbon atom. Aminoacids are different between them for the R group and can be classified as: 1) Non-polar Neutral if the side chain is uncharged and non-polar (aliphatic or  cyclic). 2) Polar Neutral if the side chain contains amida, sulfur or hydroxyl groups. 3) Basic if the side chain contains other amino groups. 4) Acid if the side chain contains other carboxyl groups.

2x + 3y = 6<br> -43 + 3y = 12
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

-29.5

Explanation:

We were given two equations:

2x + 3y = 6 and -43 + 3y = 12

Using the second one, we get:

3y = 55

y = 18.3333

Then plugging that into the first one:

2x + 55 = 6

2x = -49

x = -29.5
