What are two of the characteristics of water that make it so important in living organisms?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nikitich [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The dissolving power of water is very important for life on Earth. Wherever water goes, it carries dissolved chemicals, minerals, and nutrients that are used to support living things. Because of their polarity, water molecules are strongly attracted to one another, which gives water a high surface tension.

Chemical properties of epoxide​
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Epoxides, also called oxiranes, have a three-membered ring structure with one oxygen and two carbon atoms.

Epoxides can be formed from alkenes by reaction with peroxy acids (MCPBA for example).

Epoxides can be formed from halohydrin molecules by reaction with a base, which causes an intramolecular Williamson ether synthesis.

Explanation:

Epoxide, cyclic ether with a three-membered ring. The basic structure of an epoxide contains an oxygen atom attached to two adjacent carbon atoms of a hydrocarbon. The strain of the three-membered ring makes an epoxide much more reactive than a typical acyclic ether.

Group 1A elements (except for hydrogen) are known as the alkali metals.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Tju [1.3M]
<span>The answer is true that Group 1A elements (except for hydrogen) are the alkali metals. Groups 2A are alkaline earth metals. Group 3B-12B are transition metals. Group 3A to 4A except Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, germanium, astatine, selenium, antimony, tellurium, polonium are basic metal. Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur and selenium are nonmetals. Boron, silicon, germanium, astatine, antimony, tellurium and polonium are metalloids. Groups 7A are halogens. Groups 8A are noble gases. The lower part of the periodic table are lanthanides and actinides.</span>

In Part A, we saw that the theoretical yield of aluminum oxide is 0.800 mol . Calculate the percent yield if the actual yield of
MAVERICK [17]
Percent Yield is the actual practical yield of a certain chemical reaction. It is always less than the theoretical yield calculated due to human handling and error.

Percent Yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yiield) * 100 = (0.456 / 0.800) * 100 = 57%

The yield here is small which means a bad handling and high error.
