Which statement best explains how the structure of a starch molecule relates to the function of the molecule?

Chemistry

slamgirl [31]2 years ago

The correct option is A.

Starch is a polysaccharide that is made up of long chains of glucose molecules. The glucose molecules can be arranged in form of ring or in a branched form. During the process of digestion, starch molecules are broken down into glucose with the help of enzymes and these glucose molecules are used in the body for production of energy. The branching structure of starch is very crucial, because it allow the enzymes to attack the starch molecules at different point for easier breaking down.

The statement that best explains how the structure of a starch molecule related to the function of the molecule is " A branching structure provides many points where enzyme digestion can take place and release glucose molecules." The correct answer is A.

Which of these substances most likely dissolve in water? check all that apply.
vlada-n [284]

The answer is:

glucose, a polar organic compound

silver nitrate, an ionic compound

<span>The two have net charges that enable them to attract with water molecules. Water molecules are partly charged because of the arrangement of electron clouds around the molecule. The oxygen atom in the molecule is more electronegative than the two hydrogens. Therefore water is able to form electrostatic attraction forces with the charged molecules</span>

Why was the term inert gases dropped? Why was the term inert gases dropped? The term "inert" was dropped because hydrogen was ad
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

B) The term "inert" was dropped because it no longer described all the group 8A elements.

Explanation:

Inert elements in chemistry simply refers to elements that are chemically inactive and are not expected to form any compounds. this is the general belief for the group 8 elements as they all have complete duplet/octet configurations (and ideally, they ought to be very stable with no tendency to form compounds by participating in the loss and gain of electrons). However the discovery of compounds like xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) proved this to be wrong.

Again, the reason the term - inert gses was droppedis beacause this term is not strictly accurate because several of them do take part in chemical reactions.

After dropping the term - Inert gases, they are now referred to as noble gases.

In the laboratory, a general chemistry student measured the pH of a 0.486 M aqueous solution of triethanolamine, C6H15O3N to be
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Kb = 6.22x10⁻⁷

Explanation:

Triethanolamine, C₆H₁₅O₃N, is in equilibrium with water:

C₆H₁₅O₃N(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₁₅O₃NH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Kb is defined from concentrations in equilibrium, thus:

Kb = [C₆H₁₅O₃NH⁺] [OH⁻] / [C₆H₁₅O₃N]

The equilibrium concentration of these compounds could be written as:

[C₆H₁₅O₃N] = 0.486M - X

[C₆H₁₅O₃NH⁺] = X

[OH⁻] = X

pH is -log [H⁺], thus, [H⁺] = 10^-pH = 1.820x10⁻¹¹M

Also, Kw = [OH⁻] ₓ [H⁺];

1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] ₓ [H⁺]

1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] ₓ [1.820x10⁻¹¹M]

5.495x10⁻⁴M = [OH⁻], that means <em>X = 5.495x10⁻⁴M</em>

Replacing in Kb formula:

Kb = [5.495x10⁻⁴M] [5.495x10⁻⁴M] / [0.486M-5.495x10⁻⁴M]

<em>Kb = 6.22x10⁻⁷</em>

<em></em>
