If you experience a painful bee sting, there is formic acid at work. which type of organic compound is responsible for your suff
ering?
2 answers:
Answer: Carboxylic acid
Explanation: Bee stings are basically venomous in nature and they do create excruciating pain because they contain Formic acid which belongs to the carboxylic acid group.
Formic acid has a pKa of 3.5 approximately. Thus it is moderately acidic in nature . That is why it is recommended to treat it with some kind of alkali like Baking soda or toothpaste etc.
The structure of the formic acid is displayed in the image attached.

Answer:
The equilibrium concentrations are:
[SO2]=[NO2] = 0.563 M
[SO3]=[NO] = 1.04 M
Explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
Equilibrium constant K = 3.39
[SO2] = [NO2] = [SO3] = [NO] = 0.800 M
<u>To determine:</u>
The equilibrium concentrations of the above gases
Calculation:
Set-up an ICE table for the given reaction
I 0.800 0.800 0.800 0.800
C -x -x +x +x
E (0.800-x) (0.800-x) (0.800+x) (0.800+x)
The equilibrium constant is given as:
x = 0.2368 M
[SO2]=[NO2] = 0.800 -x = 0.800 - 0.2368 = 0.5632 M
[SO3]=[NO] = 0.800 +x = 0.800 + 0.2368 = 1.037 M
From the diagram, structure 1 would be the chloroplast and it represents the site of photosynthesis.
<h3>Plant cells</h3>The image (see attached) is that of a plant cell and structure labeled 1 is the chloroplast.
The chloroplast of plant cells acts as the site of photosynthesis where inorganic materials are used to synthesize carbohydrates.
Plants generally serve as producers in food chains and thus, chloroplast helps sustain life.
