Answer:

Tricontanyl palmitate: CH₃-(CH₂)₂₉-O-CO-(CH₂)₁₄-CH₃

Explanation:

Beeswax is a tough natural wax which is produced by the worker honey bees. The beeswax is an ester of the long chain fatty acids and alcohols. One of the major components of beeswax is tricontanyl palmitate.

Tricontanyl palmitate is a wax ester that is composed of 16-carbon fatty acid and a 30-carbon alcohol, joined by an ester linkage.

The molecular structure of tricontanyl palmitate is:

CH₃-(CH₂)₂₉-O-CO-(CH₂)₁₄-CH₃

A bacterium is in a nasty environment. What sort of reproduction would it use in this situation? Why? How else would it protect
lana [24]

The bacteria in nasty environment undergoes multiple fission.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The bacteria is a unicellular prokaryotic organisms that are found in each and every places of the world. They can survive in extremes of temperatures and pH. They can save themselves through special processes in the extreme climates.

The bacteria undergoes multiple fission in these climates. They cover themselves up with a strong and tough capsule inside which they undergo several Binary fissions. This leads to the formation of multiple cells enclosed with a capsule.

With the return of the favourable climate, the capsule rupture and these newly formed cells come out.

Find the grams in 1.26*10^-4 mol of HC2H3O2
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

0.00757 grams

Explanation:

Find the molar mass of the compound: which is 60.05.

The molar mass is basically just the sum of all the atomic masses of each of the elements.

Then multiply the molar mass by the number of moles in the compound, which is 1.26 x 10^-4 moles.

Your answer should be 0.00757 grams.

State the number of neutrons in an atom of Ne-20 and the number of neutrons in an atom of Ne-22. choose two answers * 1 point Ne
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Ne 20: 10

and

Ne 22: 12

Explanation:

Ne-20:

N = A - Z = 20 - 10 = 10 neutrons

Ne-22:

N = A - Z = 22 - 10 = 12 neutrons

N: number of neutrons

A: mass number

Z: atomic number

One mole of a metallic oxide reacts with one mole of hydrogen to produce two moles of the pure metal
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Lithium oxide, Li₂O.  

Explanation:

Hello!  

In this case, according to the given amounts, it is possible to write down the chemical reaction as shown below:

M_2O+H_2\rightarrow 2M+H_2O  

Which means that the metallic oxide has the following formula: M₂O. Next, we can set up the following proportional factors according to the chemical reaction:

5.00gM_2O*\frac{1molM_2O}{(2*X+16)gM_2O}*\frac{2molM}{1molM_2O}*\frac{XgM}{1molM}=2.32gM  

Thus, we perform the operations in order to obtain:

\frac{10X}{(2X+16)}=2.32  

So we solve for x as shown below:

10X=2.32(2X+16)\\\\10X=4.64X+37.12\\\\X=\frac{37.12}{10-4.64}\\\\X= 6.93g/mol  

Whose molar mass corresponds to lithium, and therefore, the metallic oxide is lithium oxide, Li₂O.  

Best regards!
