4 0

Answer:

c. 19

Explanation:

Potassium is a chemical element of the periodic table whose chemical symbol is K, whose atomic number is 19. It is an alkaline metal of white-silver color, which abounds in nature in the elements related to salt water and other minerals. It oxidizes rapidly in air, is very reactive, especially in water, and chemically resembles sodium. It is an essential chemical element.

The K having an atomic number of 19 means that it has 19 protons and in normal conditions for a neutral atom it will have 19 electrons, and being one step away from argon gas makes it extremely unstable.

Determine whether each phrase describes carboxylic acids or esters.
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Carboxylic acids produce hydrogen bonds amongst themselves and possess lower vapor pressure. They generally possess a sour odor. When an acid and a base react with each other to produce salt and water and comprises the combination of hydrogen and hydroxide ions, the reaction is termed the neutralization reaction. Thus, when carboxylic acid reacts with base the reaction is termed neutralization.

On the other hand, esters are known for their pleasant fragrances. They do not produce hydrogen bonds amongst themselves and possess higher vapor pressure. A hydration reaction in which free hydroxide dissociates the ester bonds between the glycerol and fatty acids of a triglyceride, leading to the formation of free fatty acids and glycerol is termed saponification.

Thus, the given blanks can be filled with carboxylic acid, carboxylic acid, esters, esters, esters, and carboxylic acid.

A doorknob makes it easier for you to open doors because it is what type of simple machine?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: Wheel and Axle

Both of these work together to form a simple machine. You can't have one without the other.

If you try to turn just the axle itself, then you'll find it takes a lot of work. This is because the inertia of the axle wants to keep the object at rest. Also, you won't have a lot of torque due to the small radius compared to what a doorknob can offer.

Using a doorknob is like putting a (steering) wheel on an axle. This increases the radius and therefore increases the torque. You put in less work into the system and get more out of it.
