Identify each element found in the equation. The number of atoms of each type of atom must be the same on each side of the equation once it has been balanced.

What is the net charge on each side of the equation? The net charge must be the same on each side of the equation once it has been balanced.

If possible, start with an element found in one compound on each side of the equation. Change the coefficients (the numbers in front of the compound or molecule) so that the number of atoms of the element is the same on each side of the equation. Remember, to balance an equation, you change the coefficients, not the subscripts in the formulas.

Once you have balanced one element, do the same thing with another element. Proceed until all elements have been balanced. It's easiest to leave elements found in pure form for last.

Check your work to make certain the charge on both sides of the equation is also balanced.

Which of these functional groups is found in all amino acids? -NH2 -OH =O -PO42-
melisa1 [442]

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

inessss [21]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

As the distance between the planets and the sun increases, the period of revolution increases as well. The period of revolution is how long it takes for a planet to revolve around the sun. So, because the planets farther from the sun have a higher period of revolution in earth years, this also means they have longer actual years, which means the answer is B.

The temperature of a 95.4 g piece of Cu increases from 25.0 °C to 48.0 °C when the Cu absorbs 849 J of heat. What is the specifc
melisa1 [442]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.387 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • To calculate the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance we need to know its mass, change in temperature and its specific heat capacity.
  • Then to get quantity of heat absorbed or lost we multiply mass by specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
  • That is, Q = mcΔT

in our question we are given;

Mass of copper, m as 95.4 g

Initial temperature = 25 °C

Final temperature = 48 °C

Thus, change in temperature, ΔT = 23°C

Quantity of heat absorbed, Q as 849 J

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity of copper

Rearranging the formula we get

c = Q ÷ mΔT

Therefore,

Specific heat capacity, c = 849 J ÷ (95.4 g × 23°C)

                                        = 0.3869 J/g°C

                                        = 0.387 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.387 J/g°C
