The chemical formula does not show how the atoms are connected to one another.
When we write the chemical formula of any substance, we are not able to understand the spatial arrangement of that substance's atoms. This is extremely important in organic compounds, which exhibit different physical characteristics as well as different chemical characteristics due to the way their atoms are arranged in space. These isomers are known as enantiomers.

Using appropriate chemical equation distinguish between cation and anion hydrolysis ​
harina [27]

Answer:

HCO3- (aq) + H2O (I) <--> H2CO3 (aq) + OH- (aq)

Explanation:

The equation to distinguish between cation and anion hydrolysis is given below :  

HCO3- (aq) + H2O (I) <--> H2CO3 (aq) + OH- (aq)

The important thing to remember is their origin. The anions can react with water and can produce hydroxide ions while hydroxide ions make a solution basic.

If the temperature of a gas confined to such a cylinder is raised from 287°C to 587°C, what is the ratio of the initial volume t
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

1 : 2

Explanation:

From the question given, we obtained the following information:

T1 = 287°C = 287 +273 = 560K

T1 = 587°C = 587 +273 =860K

V1 = V

V2 =?

V1 /T1 = V2 /T2

V/560 = V2/860

Cross multiply

V2 x 560 = 860 x V

Divide both side by 560

V2 = (860 x V) / 560

V2 = 1.54V = 2V

The ratio of initial to final volume =

V1 : V2

= V : 2V

= 1 : 2

meriva

I think this should be true...

As a comet gets closer to the sun, the ice on the surface of the nucleus begins turning into gas, forming a cloud known as the coma. ... Since comet tails are shaped by sunlight and the solar wind, they always point away from the sun.
