Answer:

A. Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon is one of the most important elements for the structure of living things. It is responsible for 19% of the body composition of animals, behind only oxygen, which contributes 61%. The head is one of the main elements that make up the tissues and organs of animals.

Carbon has a special property: it can make four different chemical bonds. This means that, in addition to being able to bond with atoms of other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus, carbon can also bond in different ways with other carbon atoms.

The result is the formation of thousands of carbon compounds that are present in nature, rocks, minerals, products made in industries, plastics, smoke, oil, plants, animals and within our own bodies.

Could acetic acid be used in the esterification, instead of acetyl chloride? Why or why not?

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Yes, acetic acid could be used, but it would not be as effective as acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride. ... However, the acetic anhydride would still be reacting with an alcohol, so nothing changes in that respect. Also, the reaction would need to be done in basic solution.

What do you notice about the distance between the terrestrial planets compared with the spacing between the gas giants

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The spacing between the terrestrial planets is less than that between the gas planets.

Explanation:

Since the terrestrial planets which are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars have a distance of 0.4 AU, 0.7 A.U, 1.0 AU and 1.5 A.U respectively from while the gas planets which are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have a distance of 5.2 AU, 9.6 AU, 19.6 AU and 30 AU respectively from the sun, we can see that the spacing between the terrestrial planets is much smaller than the spacing between the gas planets.

For example, the spacing between Mercury and Venus is 0.7 AU - 0.4 AU = 0.3 AU while that between Earth and Venus is 1.0 AU - 0.7 AU = 0.3 AU.

Also, the spacing between Earth and Mars is 1.5 AU - 1.0 AU = 0.5 AU.

Also too, the spacing between the gas planets is shown below the spacing between Jupiter and Saturn is 9.6 AU - 5.2 AU = 4.4 AU while that between Uranus and Saturn is 19.6 AU - 9.6 AU = 10.0 AU.

Also, the spacing between Neptune and Uranus is 30 AU - 19.6 AU = 10.4 AU.

<u>Thus, we can see that the spacing between the terrestrial planets is less than that between the gas planets.</u>

Note that AU means astronomical unit and 1 AU is the distance between the Earth and the Sun. 1 AU = 1.50 × 10⁸ km
