Answer:

Red

Explanation:

Violet - shortest wavelength, around 400-420 nanometers with highest frequency. They carry the most energy.

Indigo - 420 - 440 nm

Blue - 440 - 490 nm

Green - 490 - 570 nm

Yellow - 570 - 585 nm

Orange - 585 - 620 nm

Red - longest wavelength, at around 620 - 780 nanometers with lowest frequency and least amount of energy

Therefore, red is the answer you're looking for.

I hope this helps and that you have a great day! :)

Why does carbon have the ability to form multiple bonds?

stepan [7]

Carbon has the ability to form multiple bonds because it has four valence electrons. Having four valence electrons means that carbon has a lot of space to form bonds with other atoms, or multiple bonds, in order to reach the full octet.

Hope this helps!! :)

How many molecules of water are released during the polymerization of a 20 monomer-long cellulose molecule?

Alborosie

Answer:

During the polymerization of a 20 monomer-long cellulose molecule, 19 molecules of water are released.

Explanation:

In simple terms, cellulose is the biopolymer formed by many glucose units. This is cellulose is the polymer and glucose is the monomer.

To have a 20 monomer-long cellulose molecule, 20 monomers have been chemically bonded by reacting 19 times, as it is explained in the next paragrpahs, and so 19 molecules of water have been released.

You can imaging the polymerization process as a step-by-step reaction in which the first step is the condensation reaction of one glucose molelecule to produce a 2 monomer-long chain, with the release of one molecule of water: the second step would be the condensation reaction between the 2 monomer-long chain with another glucose molecule, with the release of an additional molecule of water, and so on, until 19 condensation reactions happen, to obtain the 20 monomer-long cellulose molecule.

Condensation is the loss of water in a chemical reaction.

When two glucose molecules react together, condensation occurs. One OH group from each glucose molecule come together, the OH from one glucose molecule combines with the H part of the OH from the other glucose molecule, to form H₂O (water that is released).

The two glucose molecules (monomers) will form one bigger molecule where the two glucose monomers are bonded through the oxygen atom that did not form part of the water molecule released.

Then, a 20-monomer chain means 19 condenstation reactions, with the release of 19 molecules of water.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

The question is incomplete, this is the complete question;

In the process of attempting to characterize a substance, a chemist makes the following observations. Which are physical properties and which are chemical properties?

(a) The substance is a silvery white, lustrous metal.

(b) The substance melts at 649 ∘C

(d) The density of the substance at 20 ∘C is 1.738 g/cm³.

(e) The substance burns in air, producing an intense white light.

(f) The substance reacts with chlorine to give a brittle white solid.

(g) The substance can be pounded into thin sheets or drawn into wires.

(h) The substance is a good conductor of electricity.

Answer:

(a) Physical

(b) Physical

(d) Physical

(e) Chemical

(f) Chemical

(g) Physical

(h) Physical

Explanation:

(a) The substance is a silvery white, lustrous metal - is appearance which is physical.

(b) The substance melts at 649 ∘C metling point is a physical measurement

(d) The density of the substance at 20 ∘C is 1.738 g/cm3 how heavy a substance is,is physical.

(e) The substance burns in air, producing an intense white light. Burning is a chemical change. It is a reaction of a substance with oxygen

(f) The substance reacts with chlorine to give a brittle white solid. This is a chemical reaction as the question says.

(g) The substance can be pounded into thin sheets or drawn into wires. Ductility is a physical change, the substance remains chemically unchanged

(h) The substance is a good conductor of electricity. Any conductivity is physical, the substance remains chemically unchanged

Base your answer on the information below. The hydrocarbon 2-methylpropane reacts with iodine as represented by the balanced equ

Kryger [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The boiling point of a substance is affected by the nature of bonding in the molecule as well as the nature of intermolecular forces between molecules of the substance.

2-methylpropane has only pure covalent and nonpolar C-C and C-H bonds. As a result of this, the molecule is nonpolar and the only intermolecular forces present are weak dispersion forces. Therefore, 2-methylpropane has a very low boiling point.

As for 2-iodo-2-methylpropane, there is a polar C-I bond. This now implies that the intermolecular forces present are both dispersion forces and dipole interaction. As a result of the presence of stronger dipole interaction between 2-iodo-2-methylpropane molecules, the compound has a higher boiling point than 2-methylpropane.
