Answer: option D. the ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt.

Justification:

NaOH is a strong base, which means that in water it will dissociate according to this reaction:

NaOH(aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq)

On the other hand, CuSO₄ is a soluble ionic salt which in water will dissociate into its ions according to this other reaction:

CuSO₄(aq) → Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Hence, in solution, the sodium ion (Na⁺) will react with the metal salt in a double replacement reaction, where the highly reactive sodium ion (Na⁺) will substitute the Cu²⁺ in the CuSO₄ to form the sodium sulfate salt, Na₂SO₄ (water soluble), and the copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)₂ (insoluble).

That is what the given reaction represents:

CuSO₄ (aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s) + Na₂SO₄(aq)

MArishka [77]

Answer:

D. because water and mud behaved in a similar way in the past as they do today

Explanation:

One of the fundamental theories in the field of earth science is the theory of uniformitarianism.

Uniformitarianism was proposed by James Hutton in the 18th century in Scotland. The theory states that "geologic processes occurring today have occurred in times past and that the present is the key to past".

The simple meaning of the theory is that, the processes on earth today such as weathering, erosion, e.t.c have also occurred in times past. Those processes still occur today and an understanding of such events today will help us have a better insight into the past.

Therefore, ripple marks just as they form today from action of mud and water would be formed in a similar way in the past.

Suppose NAD is unavailable because NADH cannot be oxidized due to a mutation in the NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I). If FAD could

Dovator [93]

Answer:

FAD substitution will produce 28 ATP instead of 36.

Explanation:

NAD and FAD are coenzymes involved in reversible oxidation and reduction reactions. These compounds are also known as electron carriers. However NADH produce 3 electrons in electron transport chain and FADH2 produce 2 electron beacuase it transfer the electrons to second complex in ETC.

Normal prduction of ATP from glucose;

2 cytoplasmic NADH formed in glycolysis Each yields 2 ATP +4

2 NADH formed in the oxidation of pyruvate Each yields 3 ATP +6

2 FADH2 formed in the citric acid cycle Each yields 2 ATP +4

6 NADH formed in the citric acid cycle Each yields 3 ATP +18

2 ATP from glycolysis +2

2 ATP from citric acid cycle +2

Net yield ATP +36

C6H12O6 + 6 CO2 + 36 ADP + 36 Pi ⇒6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 36 ATP

If we replace the NAD with FAD the total ATP production would be.

2 cytoplasmic FADH2 formed in glycolysis Each yields 2 ATP +4

2 FADH2 formed in the oxidation of pyruvate Each yields 3 ATP +4

2 FADH2 formed in the citric acid cycle Each yields 2 ATP +4

6 FADH2 formed in the citric acid cycle Each yields 2 ATP +12

2 ATP from glycolysis

2 ATP from citric acid cycle +2

<u>Net yield ATP +28</u>

C6H12O6 + 6 CO2 + 28ADP + 28 Pi ⇒6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 28 ATP

you rent a car in Germany with a gas mileage rating of 12.8km/L. What is its rating in miles per gallon?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

so one liter is about 2. something gallons so at 12.8 km/l you would get about 30 mpg which is insane but yeah

Potassium hydroxide is classified as an arrhenius base because koh contains

mixas84 [53]

Answer: hydroxide ions

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydronium ion or hydrogen ion and a bases is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion .

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

As KOH can give hydroxide ions on dissociation , it is considered as arrhenius base.

$KOH\rightarrow K^++OH^-$
