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)

         ↑                                ↑                         ↑                            ↑

soluble metal salt       strong base       insoluble base       solube salt

romanna [79]

Answer:

Respiration might occur in the presence and absence of oxygen known as the aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. The ATP molecules are produced more in number in aerobic respiration.

The yeast has the ability to undergo the process of anaerobic respiration and its end product are alcohol, carbon dioxide and 2 moles of ATP. The yeast is grown on maltose medium but unable to produce alcohol because of the presence of oxygen in the medium. The oxygen might acts as poison or inhibit the process of anaerobic respiration.
