Anestetic [448]4 years ago
8 0

Answer : A - carboxyl group.


The carbon in the carboxyl group is bonded to a hydroxyl group and also it is double bonded to an oxygen group.


The carboxyl group when it is dissolved in a solution donates it's hydrogen ion(H+ ion). When it is dissolved in water, the carboxyl group loses its H+ ion to form negatively charged ion.


RCOOH + H2O⇄RCOO- + H3O+


Thus the carboxyl group act as an acid when dissolved in water.

In this item, I supposed, that we are determine the molar fraction of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the sample. This can be done by dividing their respective partial pressures by the total pressure of the sample.

   O2 : mole fraction = (100.7 mmHg) / (763.00 mmHg)  = 0.13

   CO2 : mole fraction = (33.57 mmHg) / (763.00 mmHg) = 0.044

Answers: O2 = 0.13
               CO2 = 0.044

A chemical plant produces ammonia using the following reaction at a very high temperature and pressure. Which design issue is mo
Lorico [155]

Answer:

D. The equipment needed to accommodate the high temperature and pressure will be expensive to produce.​

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the considered reaction, it is clear it is an exothermic reaction because it produces energy; and therefore, the higher the temperature the more reactants are yielded as the reverse reaction is favored. Moreover, since the effect of pressure is verified as favoring the side with fewer moles; in this case the products side (2 moles of ammonia).

In such a way, the high pressure favors the formation of ammonia whereas the high temperature the formation of hydrogen and nitrogen and therefore, option A is ruled out. Since the high pressure shifts the reaction rightwards and the high temperature leftwards, we would not be able to know whether the reaction has ended or not because it will be a "go and come back" process, that is why B is also discarded. Now, since hydrogen and nitrogen would be the "wastes", we discard C because they are not toxic. That is why the most accurate answer would be D. because it is actually true that such equipment is quite expensive.

Best regards!

Through which of the following ways can heat be transferred?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The correct option is:

A) by direct or indirect contact between objects at different temperatures

Explanation:

Heat can be transferred in three different methods:

Conduction, Convection and Radiation

Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact between substances at different temperatures.

Convection is the heat transfer which takes place through air currents.

Radiation is the heat transfer that does not require contact between two objects.

Hence, heat transfer can take place through direct or indirect contact between objects at different temperatures.
