Which statements describe the six elements found in all living things? Check all that apply.

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Carbon is the basis of all living things

Nitrogen is found in certain foods

Oxygen and hydrogen combine with each other to form water

Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur are found in organic compounds

Explanation:

We are all made up of mainly three elements, Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. These three elements are found in every living organism on our planet, and along with a few trace elements, they make up all the nutrients we take in and use to build our bodies and survive.

Nitrogen is primarily found in meats, and this is because nitrogen is a key element in amino acids (which are used to build proteins), however we cannot directly assimilate nitrogen from the air, so we have to assimilate it through amino acids already synthesized in plants, or in proteins found in meat.

The chemical formula for water is H₂O. Seeing the chemical formula, it is obvious that hydrogen and oxygen are the only elements in the water molecule.

In our bodies, we use phosphorus to form our skeleton and help maintain it, sulfur and nitrogen can be found in some amino acids, and carbon, hydrogen and oxygen can be found in carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.

Write a balanced equation for the reaction of Na₂S and CdSO₄. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the ph

Luba_88 [7]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction equation that contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side is known as a balanced chemical reaction equation.

For example, $Na_{2}S(aq) + CdSO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + CdS(s)$

Here, number of reactant molecules are as follows.

Na = 2

S = 2

Cd = 1

O = 4

Number of product molecules are as follows.

Na = 2

S = 2

Cd = 1

O = 4

As there are already equal number of atoms on both reactant and product side. Hence, the reaction equation is balanced.

Also, in this reaction both $Na_{2}S$ and $CdSO_{4}$ are present as aqueous solution. And, CdS is the precipitate that is formed as it is the insoluble solid that forms.

$Na_{2}SO_{4}$ is present in aqueous state.

What are the characteristics of acids and bases, and some examples of each?

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Acids taste sour while bases taste bitter. An acid reacts with metals to produce bubbles of hydrogen gas while a base feels slimy to the touch. Acids turn blue litmus paper red while bases turn red litmus paper blue.
