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.

Sulfur reacts with fluorine to produce three different compounds. The mass ratio of fluorine to sulfur for each compound is give
NARA [144]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of F / Mass of S = 2.962/1 =2.962 X 32 / 32 = 94.78/32

Mass of F / Mass of S = 2.370 /1 = 2.370 X 32 / 32 = 75.84 /32

Mass of F /Mass of S = 3.555/1 = 3.555 x 32 / 32 = 113.76 / 32 .

Now constant mass of S that is 32 g reacts with different mass of F. They are as follows :

94.78 g , 75.84 g , and 113.76 g

Their ratio = 94.78 : 75.84 : 113.76

divide them by 19

their ratio = 5 : 4 : 6

So these data are consistent with law of multiple proportion.

List four greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. For each gas, describe its prevalence in the atmosphere, its natural sources, its
lakkis [162]

Answer: Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide and Fuorinated Gases

Explanation:Carbon dioxide (CO2): Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil), solid waste, trees and other biological materials, and also as a result of certain chemical reactions (e.g., manufacture of cement). Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere (or "sequestered") when it is absorbed by plants as part of the biological carbon cycle.

Methane (CH4): Methane is emitted during the production and transport of coal, natural gas, and oil. Methane emissions also result from livestock and other agricultural practices and by the decay of organic waste in municipal solid waste landfills.

Nitrous oxide (N2O): Nitrous oxide is emitted during agricultural and industrial activities, combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste, as well as during treatment of wastewater.

Fluorinated gases: Hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and nitrogen trifluoride are synthetic, powerful greenhouse gases that are emitted from a variety of industrial processes. Fluorinated gases are sometimes used as substitutes for stratospheric ozone-depleting substances (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and halons). These gases are typically emitted in smaller quantities, but because they are potent greenhouse gases, they are sometimes referred to as High Global Warming Potential gases ("High GWP gases").

What process takes place before an article is published in a scientific journal/
Goshia [24]
Before an article is published in a scientific journal or in any "peer-reviewed" journal the article is reviewed thoroughly by scholars from the journal as well as peers or scholars of the articles author from the same field. This process occurs to provide credibility to the ideas being published and so that readers and other scholars can rely on the validity of the material being published.
