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.

Using 273.15 K as the value for Zero degree Celsius convert 45.1° C to Kelvin. 6.05 K 318 K 318.3 K 1.23 x 104 K
OLEGan [10]
Zero degree celcius = 273.15 degree kelvin

Simply, to get the value of 45.1 degree celcius in kelvin, we will add 273.15 to the given value (45.1).

Degree in kelvin = 45.1 + 273.15 = 318.25 degree kelvin

Approximating to the nearest tenth, the value will be 318.3 degree kelvin
