Answer : The process illustrated in this drawing is, condensation.

Explanation :

Amino acid : The acid that contains two functional groups that are carboxylic group, $-COOH$ and ammine group, $-NH_2$ .

When the two or more that two amino acids join together with the help of peptide bond, they produces polypeptide chain or protein.

The bond present between the two amino acid is called a peptide bond.

The peptide bond is a chemical bond that is formed between the two molecules when the nitrogen of one amino acid react with the carbon of another amino acid by releasing a water molecule. This is a dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction.

Condensation reaction : It is a reaction in which two molecules combine to form a larger molecule and producing water as a byproduct.

Hence, the process illustrated in this drawing is, condensation.

Answer:

<em>What quantity dictates the speed of a reaction?</em> The activation energy

Explanation:

According to the collision theory, when molecules collide, they must overcome an energy barrier for the reaction to take place. This energy, known as activation energy, is represented by the difference in energy between the initial state and the transition state. The higher the activation energy, the slower the reaction. That's why catalysts reduce the activation energy to accelerate the reaction.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

-6.4x10⁻¹⁹ C

Explanation:

The elementary charge of one electron is -1.60x10⁻¹⁹C, so each electron has its charge, and a sample with more than one electrons will have a multiple of its charge, which is proportional to the number of electrons. So, if the oil droplet had 4 electrons, thus the charge will be four times the elementary charge:

4*(-1.60x10⁻¹⁹) C = -6.4x10⁻¹⁹ C

Why do automobiles rust more easily in wet climates than drier climates

elixir [45]

It rusts more in wet climates because it is water and when water hits the automobile there is a chemical reaction. If the water is salt water it will cause it to rust quicker.
