Propanoic acid (propionic acid) has the formula CH3CH2COOH. Draw the conjugate base, that is, the structure that results from de

Answer:

Conjugate base: Propionate

Explanation:

Conjugate base contains one less proton as compared to it's parent acid. Deprotonation occurs from most acidic region.

Propionic acid deprotonates to produce it's strong conjugate base propionate.

In propionic acid, -OH group in -COOH functional moiety dissociates to produce $H^{+}$ . Because the O-H bond electrons remains highly polarized towards oxygen atom due to electron withdrawing inductive effect as well as resonating effect of -COOH moiety.

Structure of conjugate base has been shown below.

Heterotrophic bacteria obtain food by

BARSIC [14]

Heterotrophic cells must ingest biomass to obtain their energy and nutrition. Heterotrophic microorganisms mostly feed upon dead plants and animals, and are known as decomposers. ... Some animals also specialize on feeding on dead organic matter, and are known as scavengers or detritivores. Hope this was helpful.

Say I grab a bunch of aluminum foil (9.5g) and ball it up. Aluminum has a specific heat of .9J/g*C. How much would the aluminum’

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

ΔT = 0.78 °C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al = 9.5 g

Specific heat capacity of Al = 0.9 J/g.°C

Temperature change = ?

Heat added = 67 J

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

67 J = 9.5 g × 0.9 j/g.°C × ΔT

67 J = 85.5 j/°C × ΔT

ΔT = 67 J / 85.5 j/°C

ΔT = 0.78 °C

Calculate the number of liters in 3.25 g of ammonia

il63 [147K]

The liters in 3.25 g of ammonia 4.28 L

<u><em>calculation</em></u>

Step 1: find moles of ammonia

moles = mass÷ molar mass

From periodic table the molar mass of ammonia (NH₃) = 14 +(1×3 ) = 17 g/mol

3.25 g÷ 17 g/mol = 0.191 moles

Step 2: find the number of liters of ammonia

that is at STP 1 moles = 22.4 L

0.191 moles = ? L

<em>by cross multiplication</em>

={( 0.191 moles ×22.4 L) / 1 mole} = 4.28 L
