Answer : The correct option is, $-NH_2$

Explanation :

Amino acid : The acid that contains two functional groups that are carboxylic group, $-COOH$ and ammine group, $-NH_2$ .

When the two or more that two amino acids join together with the help of peptide bond, they produces polypeptide chain or protein.

The bond present between the two amino acid is called a peptide bond.

The peptide bond is a chemical bond that is formed between the two molecules when the nitrogen of one amino acid react with the carbon of another amino acid by releasing a water molecule. This is a dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction.

From this we conclude that, only two functional groups carboxylic group, $-COOH$ and ammine group, $-NH_2$ are present in all amino acids.

Hence, the correct option is, $-NH_2$

A mixture of so2(g) and o2(g), formed by the complete decomposition of so3(g), is collected over water at 34°c at a total pressu

Sedbober [7]

The decomposition of so3 to so2 gas and o2 gas can be described in the balanced chemical equation:

2so3(g) = 2 so2 (g) + 02(g).

so assuming a complete reaction, the ratio of so2 gas to total products is 2/3 while that of 02 is 1/3.

Subtracting water's water vapor pressure, 760-40 mm hG = 720 mm Hg.

then the products partial pressures are

so2 = 2/3 * (720) = 480 mm Hg.
o2 = 720-480 = 240 mm Hg.

Please help ASAP! I’m lost right now.

Chromium is strange because it moves on to the 4s orbital instead of filling the 3d orbital with that last electron. Tricky.

Mark as brainliest if this helped! :)

Lead forms two compounds with oxygen. One contains 2.98g of lead and 0.461g of oxygen. The other contains 9.89g of lead and 0.76

aliina [53]

The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Lead forms two compounds with oxygen. One contains 2.98g of lead and 0.461g of oxygen. The other contains 9.89g of lead and 0.763g of oxygen. For a given mass of oxygen, what is the lowest whole-number mass ratio of lead in the two compounds that combines with a given mass of oxygen?

Answer:

The lowest whole-number mass ratio in the two compounds is 1:2.

Explanation:

There is a need to find the mole ratio between lead and oxygen atoms in order to find the whole-number mass ratio of lead in the two compounds. In the first compound, the given mass of lead is 2.98 grams, the molar mass of lead is 207.2 gram per mole.

The no. of moles can be determined by using the formula,

moles = mass/molecular mass

moles = 2.98 g/207.2 g/mol

= 0.0144 moles

The mass of oxygen in the compound I is 0.461 grams, the molecular mass of oxygen is 16 gram per mol.

moles = 0.461 g /16 g/mol

= 0.0288 moles

The ratio between the lead and oxygen in the compound I is 0.0144/0.0288 = 1:2

On the other hand, in the compound II, the mass of lead given is 9.89 grams, therefore, the moles of lead in compound II is,

moles = 9.89 g / 207.2 g/mol

= 0.0477 moles

The mass of oxygen given in compound II is 0.763 grams, the moles of oxygen present in the compound II is,

moles = 0.763 g / 16 g

= 0.0477 moles

The ratio between the lead and oxygen in the compound II is, 0.0477 moles lead /0.0477 moles oxygen = 1:1

Hence, of the two compounds, the lowest ratio is found in the compound I, that is, 1:2.

Determine the bonding type for boron trihydride given the electronegativity on the Pauling scale for boron is 2.0 and for hydrog

Anika [276]

Answer: The bond between boron and hydrogen in boron trihydride is covalent bond.

Explanation:

The type of bonding between the atoms forming a compound is determined by using the electronegativity difference between the atoms. According to the pauling's electronegativity rule:

If $\Delta \chi=0$ , then the bond is non-polar.
If $\Delta \chi\leq 1.7$ , then the bond will be covalent.
If $\Delta \chi>1.7$ , then the bond will be ionic.

We are given:

Electronegativity for boron = 2.0

Electronegativity for hydrogen = 2.1

$\Delta \chi=\chi_{H}-\chi_{B}\\\\\Delta \chi=2.1-2.0=0.1$

As, $\Delta \chi$ is less than 1.7 and not equal to 0. Hence, the bond between boron and hydrogen is covalent bond.
