What acids in alcohol make it evaporate

Chemistry
1 answer:
fgiga [73]4 years ago
6 0

The acids found in alcohol that make it evaporate are called organic acids.

An organic acid is an organic compound that has acidic properties. There are two types: one has a carboxyl (COOH) group, and the other type has a phenol group.

The most common organic acids are those with a carboxyl group and include acetic acid, formic acid, lactic acid and all fatty acids.  Perfumes  include organic acid in their composition to make them volatile. Volatile substances evaporate easily, and this is important for perfumes. They need to dissipate easily into the surrounding environment and spread their good smell.

SVEN [57.7K]
Therefore carbohydrates are covalent compounds. Since electrons or more specifically valence electrons from their respective atoms are shared to form chemical bonds and acquire greater chemical stability from the bonds, this is present through out this biological macromolecule and is thus covalent.

germanium -66 has a half-life of 2.5 hours. you have 35 grams of radioactive material. after 16 days, how much radioactive mater
Maru [420]

Hey there!

A half-life means after a certain amount of time, half of that substance will be gone/changed after that time.

How many half-lives are in 16 days?

Multiply 16 by 24 (to get the total hours) and divide that by 2.5.

That is 153.6 half-lives.

35(0.5)^(153.6) represents the equation for this.

Simplify this and get 8.88 x 10^(-45).

There will be 2.02 x 10^(-45)g of germanium-66 sample remaining after 16 days.

Hope this helps!
