Answer : A - carboxyl group.
The carbon in the carboxyl group is bonded to a hydroxyl group and also it is double bonded to an oxygen group.
The carboxyl group when it is dissolved in a solution donates it's hydrogen ion(H+ ion). When it is dissolved in water, the carboxyl group loses its H+ ion to form negatively charged ion.
RCOOH + H2O⇄RCOO- + H3O+
Thus the carboxyl group act as an acid when dissolved in water.
Answer:
Under the earth's surface, rocks melt, metamorphize, and crystalize.
Explanation:
Metamorphic and Igneous rocks are basically dependant on the heat/pressure of the environment under the surface :) Melting, metamorphosing and crystallization all occur under earth's surface.
Activation energy is the energy needed to begin breaking the bonds of reactants and is denoted as option D.
<h3>What is a Reactant?</h3>
These are the substances which take part in a chemical reaction and result in the formation of the product.
The activation energy is required as it breaks the bonds of the reactant thereby resulting in the product being formed. This therefore makes it the most appropriate choice.
