Answer:
Explanation:
The direct reaction of a carboxylic acid with an amine would be expected to be difficult because the basic amine would deprotonate the carboxylic acid to form a highly unreactive carboxylate. However when the ammonium carboxylate salt is heated to a temperature above 100 C water is driven off and an amide is formed.
The state of matter with a specific volume but no definite shape is the <u>Liquid</u> state.
<u>Explanation:</u>
There are three states of matter according to chemical science: Solid, Liquid and Gas. There is not much space in among the molecules. The particles in a liquid are free to float, so while a liquid has a certain volume it has no definite form. Liquids are composed of atoms or molecules bound by inter molecular bonds.
Most of the liquids resist compression while some do not, unlike a gas, a liquid will not spread to fill any container room and will retain a fairly constant density. A characteristic liquid state property is surface tension that results to wetting phenomena. Water is perhaps the most frequent substance on Earth.
Try putting this in biology category not chemistry so more ppl can help :)
Answer:
Catalyst
Explanation:
A general term for a chemical which accelerates a reaction without becoming chemically involved is called a catalyst.
Catalysts are used in industrial processes to speed up the rate of a chemical reaction. For instance, in the Contact process used in the production of sulphuric (vi) acid, vanadium(V) oxide (V2O5) is used as a catalyst to speed up the production of the acid. Vanadium(V) oxide (V2O5) is preferred to Platinum which was initially used as the catalyst since it does not react with any of the products of the process
