An acid-base reaction or a neutralization reaction is a <u>chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base producing a salt and water</u>. The acids and bases can be strong or weak depending on their degree of ionization in water.
Butyric acid is a weak acid and in water it is ionized in the following way, loosing a proton (H+):
HC4H7O2 (aq) ⇆ H+ (aq) + C4H7O2- (aq)
On the other hand, potassium hydroxide is a strong base, so it will be completely ionized in water:
KOH(aq) → K+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Then the <u>net acid-base reaction</u> between butyric acid and KOH is:
HC4H7O2 (aq) + OH- (aq) ⇆ H2O + C4H7O2- (aq)
It is valid to consider only the OH- produced from the ionization of KOH in water since, as mentioned, this molecule is completely ionized. Also, we do not include the K + in the net equation since it is a spectator ion, it does not undergo chemical changes.
Answer:
Lipids
Explanation:
Lipids perform many different functions in a cell. Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of lipids called fats. Lipids also provide insulated from the environment for plants and animals
Answer:
Mendeleev had left the noble gases out of his periodic table.
Explanation:
Mendeleev's periodic table is pictured in the image attached to the question.
Mendeleev's table obviously lacked the noble gases. The reason for this grave omission is simple; the noble gases were not known as at the time when he formulated his periodic table. There weren't any known elements whose properties were similar to the properties of the noble gases. This would have lead him to suspect their existence.
Answer:
c. Histidine
Explanation:
Histidine is a compound that is normally used for the generation of protein. Three amino acids commonly have basic side chain when the pH is neutral. The conjugate acid in histidine has a pKa of approximately 6. Based on the description of the experimental analysis provided in the statement, the right option is option c.
The correct answer would be the first option. Material A having a smaller latent heat of fusion would mean that it will take only less energy to phase change into the liquid phase. Latent of heat of fusion is the amount of energy needed of a substance to phase change from solid to liquid or liquid to solid.
