Amino-group has basic properties , and carboxyl group - is acidic group.
When amino group of one amino acid reacts with carboxyl group of another one,

Amino refers to the -NH2 group of atoms. Generally, organic acids have the carboxylic acid group -COOH. Thus, amino acids are compounds that have both the basic -NH2 & acidic -COOH groups.

Predict the reactivity of silicon in water relative to that of sodium, magnesium, and aluminium. Explain your answer. How does t
Inessa [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reactivity of metals has a lot to do with their position in the electrochemical series. However, it is also known that metallic character decreases across the period. This implies that as we move from left to right along the periodic table. Sodium, magnesium, aluminum and silicon continues to decrease in metallic character. As a matter of fact, silicon is a metalloid and not a pure metal.

Sodium reacts with cold water to give a vigorous reaction,magnesium and aluminium reacts with steam at red heat.

Silicon does not react with water, even as steam, under normal conditions.

A multivitamin tablet contains 40 milligrams of potassium. how many moles of potassium does each tablet contain?
katrin2010 [14]
Conversion of mole to grams
k in mole = 1 mole/ atomic mass
K in mole =1/ 39.0983 g/mole
                = 0.255765 g/mole
converting 40 grams of K
 K 40 grams x [ 1 mole/ 39.0983 grams] = 1.0230623 mole
There are 1.0230623 moles of K in 40 K of Potassium
