Answer is: a bottle of acetic acid contains a solid.

Acetic or ethanoic acid (CH₃COOH) when undiluted is called glacial acetic acid.

Glacial acetic acid has freezing point (melting point) around 16.6°C, so it will be at solit state.

Vinegar is mixture of acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and water (H₂O). Vinegar is colourless liquid with sour taste and pungent smell, freezing point of the vinegar is lower than glacial acetic acid.

Acetic acid dissociate in aqueous solution to form hydrogen ions (H⁺) and acetic anion (CH₃COO⁻).

Balanced chemical reaction (dissociation):

CH₃COOH(aq) ⇄ CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).

A(n) _______________ can be formed by linking together several monosaccharides via glycosidic bonds.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

A polysaccharide (n) can be formed by linking several monosaccharides through glycosidic linkages.

Explanation:

Polysaccharides are carbohydrates or complex carbohydrates, where monosaccharides join with glucosidic bonds to form a more complex structure that would be the polysaccharide.

An example of a polysaccharide is starch, or glycogen.

Starch is found in many foods such as potatoes or rice, and glycogen is a form of energy reserve of our organism housed in muscles and liver to fulfill locomotion, physical activity, and other activities that consist of glycolysis.

Polysaccharides are degraded in our body by different stages, and several enzymes unlike monosoccharides or disaccharides, since they have more unions and a more complex structure to disarm in our body and thus assimilate it.

Polysaccharides are also part of animal structures, such as insect shells or nutritional sources, among others.

A 5.00-mL sample of blood was treated with trichloroacetic acid to precipitate proteins. After centrifugation, the resulting sol

Anarel [89]

Explanation:

According to the Beer-lambert' s law,

Absrobance = absrobptitvity × lenght × concentration

So, if we will plot a graph between absrobance and concentration then we will obtain a straight line

Hence, formula to calculate slope of the graph is as follows.

The slope of graph = $\frac{\text{difference in absrobance at two points}}{\text{difference in concentrations at those points}}$

The given data is as follows.

$A_{1}$ = 0.412 (first point)

$A_{2}$ = 0.642 (second point)

$C_{1}$ = 0.240 ppm (first point)

$C_{2}$ = 0.475 ppm (second point)

Hence, putting these values into the above formula we will calculate the value of slope as follows.

Slope = $\frac{\text{difference in absrobance at two points}}{\text{difference in concentrations at those points}}$

= $\frac{0.642 - 0.412}{0.475 - 0.240}$

= $\frac{0.23}{0.235}$

= 0.978

It is known that for the graph, line equation can be written as follows.

y = mx + c ........... (1)

where, C = intercept

m = slope

Hence, calculate the value of intercept as follows.

0.412 = $0.24 \times 0.978$ + c

c = 0.178

As it is given that the absorbance values 0.454 (the y-axis value). Therefore, putting this value into equation (1) we get the following.

y = mx + c

0.454 = $x \times 0.978$ + 0.178

0.276 = 0.978x

x = 0.282 ppm

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of Pb in the given sample is 0.282 ppm.

Identify both the cellular structure that assembles these proteins and the kinds of molecules that are used as the building bloc

Blizzard [7]

The basic building blocks of proteins are the amino acids. There are 20 amino acids in a protein that we consume and the protein in our body. These amino acids link together to form large molecules. The 20 amino acids are divided into two groups called the essential and non-essential amino acids.

A sample of oxalic acid (a diprotic acid of the formula H2C2O4) is dissolved in enough water to make 1.00 L of solution. A 100.0

OleMash [197]

Answer: The mass of original oxalic acid sample is 6.75 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $H_2C_2O_4$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=2\\M_1=?M\\V_1=100.0mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.750M\\V_2=20.0mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$2\times M_1\times 100.0=1\times 0.750\times 20.0\\\\M_1=\frac{1\times 0.750\times 20.0}{2\times 100.0}=0.075M$

To calculate the mass of solute, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Given mass of oxalic acid = ? g

Molar mass of oxalic acid = 90 g/mol

Molarity of solution = 0.075 M

Volume of solution = 1.00 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.075M=\frac{\text{Mass of oxalic acid}}{90g/mol\times 1L}\\\\\text{Mass of oxalic acid}=(0.075\times 90\times 1)=6.75g$

Hence, the mass of original oxalic acid sample is 6.75 grams
