Answer: theres alot let me explain...

Explanation:

Protein denaturation is what makes eggs solidify, collagen break down and convert to gelatin in slow-cooked meat, fish and chicken become more opaque, and all meats firm up and change color. This is primarily achieved by applying heat, but can also occur in the presence of acidic and basic ingredients.

The Maillard reaction is the primary effect taking place in “browning”, and produces more flavor compounds, resulting in more complex flavors in food that we generally find enjoyable. It involves reaction between amino acids (proteins) and a certain class of sugars called reducing sugars — mostly the monosaccharides, such as glucose and fructose.

Caramelization is a secondary browning effect that occurs in foods with sugar content, even though all browning is often referred to as “caramelizing”. It mostly takes place at higher temperatures than Maillard reaction (with the notable exception of fructose).

Pyrolysis, or thermal decomposition (chemical breakdown) begins at higher temperatures. While caramelization is technically in this category, the main effect of this reaction is carbonization. This is what we generally mean when we talk about “burning” food, even though no combustion has taken place. It’s also what happens when we cause oil to smoke and darken. In small, controlled amounts, this can still provide desirable flavors, such as char on the outside of meat and contributing to “wok hei” in stir frying — the latter of which does involve some combustion.

Acid-base reactions produce carbon dioxide, which creates the rise in quick breads such as biscuits. These often occur at room temperature, but some also don’t occur until higher temperatures — which is how “double-acting” baking powder works.

Gluten formation occurs when you mix flour and water, resulting in stretchy doughs and fluffy baked goods. This occurs easily at room temperature.

What changes occur at the molecular level when ice cream melts and forms a liquid?
Gemiola [76]
When ice cream melts from solid to liquid, the motion of the molecules increases. This is because as the phase change moves from solid to liquid to gas, entropy increases which increases the probability of the molecules to collide and move in the system. This increase may be because of the increase in temp, probable cause of the melting of icecream.

245 g water sample initially at at 32 oC absorbs 17 kcal of heat. What is the final temperature of water?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:62.66°C or 235.66K

Explanation:Q=McpT, the energy was given in calories so you first convert to Joules by multiplying the value in calories by 4.184J.

17*4.184=71.128kJ.

71.128kJ=mcpT

71.128kJ=245*4.187*(T-Tm)

Tm is the final temperature of the mixture. The T is the temperature given which should be converted to Kelvin by adding 273...T=32+273=305K.

71128J=245*4.187*(305-Tm)

71128=312873.575-1025.815Tm

1025.815Tm=312873.575-71128

1025.815Tm=241745.58

Tm=241745.58/1025.815

Tm=235.66K

Wait a second...I am sorry I don't know the answer but I have something to tell you.
It is not necessary that in alcohols, OH should be at the end of a chain .

It can be anywhere in the chain..
