Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When monomers in a chemical reaction combine together then it results in the formation of long chains. This process is known as polymerization.

For example, rubber and plastic are formed by polymerization.

Esterification is defined as a process in which esters are formed when an acid is heated with alcohol.

Saponification is defined as a process in which aqueous alkali is heated with a fat or oil resulting in the formation of a soap.

Fermentation is a process in which bacteria like microorganisms, yeast etc help in the breakdown of a substance into simpler substances.

Thus, we can conclude that polymerization is an organic reaction which produces rubber and plastics.

Why ph changes disrupt protein's ionic bonds?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

A change in pH in the protein habitat can modify its ionic bonds because because the chemical equilibrium shifts to one side or the other depends on the modification

Explanation:

The pH influences the charge acquired by the acidic and basic groups present in the molecules. Proteins usually have groups with characteristics of acid or weak base. Therefore, they are partially ionized in solution coexisting in equilibrium different species.

The degree of ionization of the different functional groups is in relation to the pH of the medium in which they are found, since the H3O + and OH- species are part of the equilibrium situation. Therefore, according to the pH, each group with characteristics of weak acid or base present in the molecule will be ionized to a lesser or greater extent. There are extreme situations where the balance has been totally displaced in one direction, for example: under very high pH conditions (low concentration of H3O +) weak acids are considered fully ionized, so the functional group will always have an electric charge. The same goes for the bases at very low pH values. In other equilibrium situations, species of the same molecule with different load will coexist in the solution, due to the pH value of the medium in which it is found.

If you add a solution of NaOH to a solution of H₂CO₃, two reactions occur, one after the other. Write the chemical equations for
Crazy boy [7]

We have a solution of NaOH and H₂CO₃

First, NaOH will dissociate into Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions

The Na⁺ ion will substitute one of the Hydrogen atoms on H₂CO₃ to form NaHCO₃

The H⁺ released from the substitution will bond with the OH⁻ ion to form a water molecule

If there were to be another NaOH molecule, a similar substitution will take place, substituting the second hydrogen from H₂CO₃ as well to form Na₂CO₃
