Answer:

Products are stearate anion and water.

Explanation:

Stearic acid is a 18-carbon chain molecule containing -COOH group. IUPAC name of stearic acid is octadecanoic acid.

Molecular formula of stearic acid is $C_{17}H_{35}CO_{2}H$ .

When $OH^{-}$ is added into stearic acid, $OH^{-}$ removes a proton ( $H^{+}$ ) from acidic -COOH group and forms stearate anion and water as products.

The balanced acid-base reaction is given as:

$C_{17}H_{35}CO_{2}H+OH^{-}\rightleftharpoons C_{17}H_{35}CO_{2}^{-}+H_{2}O$

Structure of products are given below.

There are two varieties in a population of squirrels: short tails and long tails. Long-tailed squirrels are better at jumping an

Ymorist [56]

The proportion of long-tailed squirrels may have increased due to increased food availability.

The statement has it that the percentage of long tailed increased also that the long tailed are better at jumping and balancing on trees.

The first option could is tempting but saying decrease in trees would not likely support the argument.

The last option has more sound options as more food availability may lead to population increment

Hope it helps....

Use the periodic table to determine the electron configuration for dysprosium (Dy) and americium (Am) in noble-gas notation

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Dysprosium [Dy]= $[Xe]4f^{10}6s^2$

Americium [Am]= $[Rn]5f^77s^2$

Dysprosium is a chemical element with symbol Dy and atomic number of 66. It is a rare earth metal and as it contains partially filled f sub shells, it belongs to f block. Xe is the nearest noble gas and has atomic number of 54.

Americium is a chemical element with symbol Am and atomic number of 95. It is a rare earth metal and as it contains half filled f sub shells, it belongs to f block. Radon is the nearest noble gas and has atomic number of 86.
