Answer:

carbohydrates are energy giving foods that warm the body and could be in different forms

Firdavs [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer and Explanation:

Carbohydrates are a type of biomolecule that the body uses primarily for energy and/or structure. They usually consist of the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) in a 1 : 2 : 1 ratio. For example, glucose, a carbohydrate, is C_6H_{12}O_6.

Monomers of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides, and polymers are called disaccharides if two monosaccharides are combined and polysaccharides if more than two monosaccharides are put together.

Examples of carbohydrates are sugars, starches, cellulose, lactose, sucrose, etc.

24.3 2 An artifact classified as seeds, found in a site at Newlands Cross, Ireland, is found to have a 14C radioactivity of 0.10
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Age ≅ 7500 years

Explanation:

All radioactive decay is 1st order kinetics and described by the expression

A = A₀e^-kt => t = ln(A/A₀) / -k

k = 0.693 / t(half life) = (0.693 / 5730)yrs⁻¹ = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ yrs⁻¹

t = Age = [ln(0.103/0.255) / - 1.21 x 10⁻⁴] yrs = 7500 years

A box contains identical balls of which 12 are red, 18 white and 8 blue. Three balls are drawn from the box one after the other
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

a) 12/323

b) 8/233

Explanation:

a) The probability of a red ball being drawn is 12/38, or in a simplified fraction, 6/19. To find the probability that 3 are red you would multiply the probability of the fraction for each, except subtracting one from the total each time as the drawn is done without replacement. This is done as follows: 6/19 × 6/18 × 6/17= 12/323

b) The probability of drawing a blue ball is 8/38, or 4/19. To find that the first one is blue and the rest are red, the equation is done as follows: 4/19 × 6/18 × 6/17 = 8/233

(hopefully I did this right)

You are given two unknown acids, HX and H2Y, and two values for Ka, 1x10^-7 and 1x10^9. You know that X is a much more electrone
Elena L [17]

Answer:

.

Explanation

In HX , X is more electronegative than Y so HX will ionise more because of  ionic bond between H and X . On the other hand H₂Y will be less polar as compared to HX so it will ionise to a lesser extent . Hence Ka will be more for HX . Ka represents the degree of ionisation of acid . Higher the ionisation , higher is the value of Ka . H₂Y which is less polar will ionise less and hence it will have lesser value of Ka .

Hence H₂Y will have value of 10⁻⁷ and HX will have value of ka equal to 10⁹ .
