<span>Acetic acid is under the family
of carboxylic acids which has a carboxyl group –COOH bond attached to the alkyl
group. Alkyl group can be methyl (CH3-), ethyl (CH3CH2-) and so on. The term
acetic also means methyl. So combining the two gives CH3COOH or HCH3CO2. The H
before the C in <u>H</u>CH3CO2 means that it is the H attached to the O in the carboxyl
group –COOH. You cannot write it as C2H4O2 because it would represent a
different compound.</span>
Answer:
Potential energy.
Explanation:
Potential energy is the energy in a body due to its position.
Answer:
If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction. ... As the sinking plate moves deeper into the mantle, fluids are released from the rock causing the overlying mantle to partially melt.
Explanation:
The teacher is most likely talking about the fractional distillation process.
Fractional distillation: It is a separation technique used to separate different components of the given mixture on the basis of their difference in boiling points of the different components. The component with lowest boiling point will get separate out first from the mixture and the vapors formed from boiling are condensed in a separate container.
So, when the fractional distillation of mixture of oils and fuels is carried out gasoline will separate out first due to lower boiling temperature and then kerosene followed by diesel and others (fuels and oils).
