Answer:

It will be denatured.

Explanation:

Salivary amylase works best at pH 6.8.

At pH 2.5, its activity will decrease enormously as it becomes denatured by the high acidity of the stomach contents.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The octet rule means that atoms need a total of 8 valence electrons to fill their valence shell. Hydrogen only needs two to fill its valence shell.

Explanation:

All atoms except for hydrogen can hold a total of 8 valence electrons in their outer energy levels (2 in the s level, 6 in the p level). Hydrogen only has two electrons total, so it does not require more than the s level and two electrons to have a full valence.
