Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, all in a constant 1:2:1 ratio.

Hence the name Carbo (carbon) hydra (hydrogen) and the ending 'ate' refers to oxygen.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

E=35.97\frac{V}{m}

Explanation:

The electric field of a point charge can be calculated using the next equation:

E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{Q}{r^2}

Where:

\epsilon_0=Absolute\hspace{3}permittivity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}free\hspace{3}space\approx 8.85\times 10^{-12} \\Q=Charge\hspace{3}magnitude\\r=Distance

The distance can be calculated as:

r=\sqrt{0.5^2+0^2+0^2} =0.5

Using the data provided by the problem:

E=\frac{1}{4\pi (8.85\times 10^{-12}) } \frac{1\times 10^{-9} }{0.5^2} =35.96721878\approx35.97V/m

In an endothermic reaction, the ______ have more energy than the _______.
choli [55]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

If the products have a higher energy level than the reactants then the reaction is endothermic.

In an endothermic reaction, the reaction mixture absorbs heat from the surroundings. Therefore, the products will have a higher energy than the reactants and ΔH will be positive.

In an exothermic reaction, the reaction mixture releases heat to the surroundings. Therefore, the products will have a lower energy than the reactants and ΔH will be negative.
