Answer:
B) CH3(CH2)10CO2H
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we define amphipathic as a compound having both a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic part, for that reason, the hydrophilic part will be water-soluble (polar) whereas the hydrophobic does not (nonpolar). In such a way, some functional groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl tend to be polar by cause of the presence of O-H bonds whereas long-carboned chains tend to be nonpolar by cause of the presence of C-H and C-C bonds.
Therefore, since A) CH3CH2OH (ethanol) and D) CH3CO2H (acetic acid) are short-carboned chains with polar groups they are largely hydrophilic whereas C) CH3(CH2)10CH3 (dodecane) is highly nonpolar, we sum up that only B) CH3(CH2)10CO2H (dodecanoic acid or lauric acid) is amphoteric as it has a long-charboned part (nonpolar) and a water-soluble part (polar).
Best regards.
Answer:
d). A catalyst lowers the activation energy for a chemical reaction.
Explanation:
From the given choices, it is true that a catalyst lowers the activation energy for a chemical reaction.
The activation energy is the energy barrier that must be overcome before a chemical reaction can occur.
Some reactions have very high activation energy and would not occur without the introduction of a catalyst.
The catalyst brings the reactants into contact by removing the energy deficiency in the system.
Answer: 252.5 kPa
Explanation:
Given that:
initial volume of gas V1 = 5.00 L
initial pressure of gas P1 = 101 kPa.
new Volume V2 = 2.00 L
new pressure P2 = ?
Since, only pressure and volume are involved, apply the formula for Boyle's law
P1V1 = P2V2
101 kPa x 5.0L = P2 x 2.00L
505 = P2 x 2.00L
P2 = 505/2.00
P2 = 252.5 kPa
Thus, the new pressure of gas inside the piston is 252.5 kPa
