Answer:

Explanation:

The food contains the large proportion of water and added insoluble fibers which also contains essential nutrients does not add up much to the total gram weight of the food.

When we talk about the gram weight of any food item, it may or may not include the gram weight of its different nutrient molecules. It may have different reasons to it. One of the reasons can be because the nutrient molecule might contain a large percentage or proportion of water. Also, the nutrient molecules might be insoluble or indigestible fiber so it does not add up to the total gram weight of food.

Calculate the ph of a buffer that is 0.145 m hc2h3o2 and 0.202 m kc2h3o2. The ka for hc2h3o2 is 1.8 × 10-5.

koban [17]

Answer:

pH = 4.8

Explanation:

A buffer is formed by a weak acid (0.145 M HC₂H₃O₂) and its conjugate base (0.202 M C₂H₃O₂⁻ coming from 0.202 M KC₂H₃O₂). The pH of a buffer system can be calculated using Henderson-Hasselbalch's equation.

$pH = pKa + log\frac{[base]}{[acid]} \\pH = -log(1.8 \times 10^{-5} )+log(\frac{0.202M}{0.145M} )\\pH=4.8$

Draw the structural formula of the major product of the reaction of (S)-2,2,3-trimethyloxirane with MeOH, H . Use the wedge/hash

Katarina [22]

Answer:

(S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol

Explanation:

In this case, we have an epoxide opening in acid medium. The first step then is the protonation of the oxygen. Then the epoxide is broken to generate the most stable carbocation. The nucleophile ( $CH_3OH$ ) will attack the carbocation generating a new bond. Finally, the oxygen is deprotonated to obtain an ether functional group and we will obtain the molecule (S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol.

See figure 1

According to Newton’s second law of motion, when an object is acted on by an unbalanced force, how will that object respond? It

otez555 [7]

Answer:

C) It will accelerate.

Explanation:

According to Newton’s second law of motion, when an object is acted on by an unbalanced force, it will accelerate.

An unbalanced force will change the speed or direction (or both) of an object. A change in speed and/or direction is acceleration.

A) is wrong. The object will stop moving only if there is a balanced force in the opposite direction.

B) is wrong. The object will decrease speed only if the unbalanced force has a component opposite to the direction of motion.

d) is wrong. The object will increase speed only if the unbalanced force has a component in the direction of motion.
