Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A polymer is a large molecule which contains repeating units.

A polymer forms long chain of atoms which are not necessarily arranged in a ring structure. There are not only double bonds between all the carbon atoms, as there can be single bonds or triple bonds between the atoms of a polymer.

A polymer does not contain many different type of molecules as there are many repeating units and not many molecules in a polymer.

A polymer is made of large molecules with repeating units.

Thus, we can conclude that option (D) is the correct answer.

Methane (CH4) undergoes combustion. Which products form? please help will give brainliest if correct

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

B. CO₂ and H₂O.

Explanation:

When any organic substance undergoes complete combustion, it produces carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).

In the case of methane, the balanced reaction is:

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

With the above information in mind the correct answer is option B. CO₂ and H₂O.

When the combustion is incomplete, carbon monoxide (CO) is produced as well.

The enzyme, carbonic anhydrase, is a large zinc-containing protein with a molar mass of 3.00 x10^4 g/mol. Zn is 0.218% by mass o

tia_tia [17]

The mathematical expression for mass percent is given by:

$Mass percent = \frac{mass of the compound}{molar mass of the compound}\times 100$

Put the values,

$0.218 percent of zinc = \frac{mass of zinc}{3.00 \times 10^{4} g/mol}\times 100$

mass of zinc = $0.218 \times (3\times 100) g$

= $0.654 \times 100 g$ or 65.4 g

Now, number of moles of zinc = $\frac{given mass in g}{molar mass of zinc}$

= $\frac{65.4 g}{65.38 g/mol}$

= 1.00 mole

Number of atoms of zinc is calculated by the Avogadro number.

Now, according to mole concept

$6.022\times 10^{23}$ molecules of enzyme consists of $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms of zinc

So, 1 molecule of enzyme contains = $\frac{6.022\times 10^{23}atoms of zinc}{6.022\times 10^{23} }$

= 1 atom of zinc.

Hence, every carbonic anhydrase molecule consists of 1 atom of zinc.

Relate the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom to the properties of matter.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

The number of electrons, in turn, determines the chemical properties of the atom. Protons contribute to the mass of an atom and provide the positive charge to the nucleus. The number of protons also determines the identity of the element
