Answer:

<u>Reasons water is important </u>

Imagine earth without water. The soil, with no water in it and nothing growing on it, would be lifeless, dead, collapsed into dust, sand, clay or rock.

-Water consumption helps lubricate and cushion your joints, spinal cord, and tissues. This will help you enjoy physical activity and lessen discomfort caused by conditions like arthritis.

-Water is a main component of saliva. Saliva also includes small amounts of electrolytes, mucus, and enzymes. It’s essential for breaking down solid food and keeping your mouth healthy.

His measurements are precise since his pH values are close to each other in a way that it was repeated in all measurements. On the contrary to accuracy, it is the closeness to the actual pH value he should have achieved. Therefore, Jose's results are precise but not accurate since his value is not close to the actual value of pH 4.

Calculate the energy provided by a slice of bread containing 2 g of protein, 1 g of fat, and 20 g of carbohydrate. record your a

vichka [17]

the energy gained by proteins and carbohydrates differs from the energy gained by fats.
proteins and carbohydrates both give 4 kcal per gram
fats give 9 kcal per gram
mass of proteins - 2 g
energy given by proteins - 2 g x 4 kcal/g = 8 cal
mass of carbohydrates - 20 g
energy given by carbohydrates - 20 g x 4 kcal/g = 80 cal
mass of fat - 1 g
energy given by fat - 1 g x 9 kcal/g = 9 cal
total energy = 8 + 80 + 9 = 97 kcal
energy = 97 kcal

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer and Explanation

The isomer picked is the N-Propylamine.

It has a lone pair of electron available on the electron rich Nitrogen and no formal charge.

Since it will be hard to draw the Lewis structure in this answer format, I'll attach a picture of the Lewis structure to this answer.

The lone pair of electron is shown by the two dots on the Nitrogen atom.
