Answer:
(C) Acetylene (ethyne) can be converted to the acetylide anion by treating with a strong base such as CH₃Li.
Explanation:
Acetylene (C₂H₂) can be converted to the acetylide anion (C₂⁻²) when treated with a base because it will donate protons (2H⁺). So it will be a neutralization reaction. NaNH₂ and NaOH are strong bases because they are good electrons donators ( NaNH₂ has pair of electrons on N, and NaOH has the group OH⁻), but CH₃Li has no pair of electrons to donate, so it's not a strong base.
The reaction creates dihydrogen, hence if it's uncontrolled it could lead to potentially dangerous amounts of gas being released at once.
Answer:
It can use a small amount of sunlight for photosynthesis
Explanation:
Seaweeds are a group of marine plants/algae that grow attached to rocks underwater. However, despite their depth underwater, they still perform photosynthesis, which is a process that requires energy from sunlight.
Seaweeds are able to perform photosynthesis underwater because they are efficient users of sunlight energy. Hence, they require only a small amount of sunlight that penetrates the ocean to perform photosynthesis.
Answer:
Explanation:
Water is called the universal solvent. It is a polar molecule (105 degree angle between the H atoms) that gives it a + and a - side so to speak....which allows it to 'pull apart' substances....overcome their intra-molecular attractions to each other ...i.e. disssovle them
