Answer:

The correct answer is : It is a salt because it is formed by the reaction of an acid and a base.

Explanation:

Sodium chloride is formed from the neutralization reaction between a strong acid (hydrochloric acid) and a strong base (sodium hydroxide):

HCl + NaOH ---> NaCl + H20

By reacting strong acid and base, they neutralize each other resulting in a salt (NaCl) and water.

Corresponds to an exothermic reaction (heat is released).

What is the name for this molecule? 3-heptyne 3-heptene 3-hexyne 3-hexene

sweet-ann [11.9K]

The iupac name of the compound will be hex-3-yne or 3-hexyne. By marking number of carbon in the given compound, it was found that triple bond comes at third position and there are total 6 carbon in the compound. So it will have Hex as a prefix and as it contains triple bond so it will have yne as a suffix and as the triple bond is at third position, so it will be hex-3-yne or 3-hexyne.

Classify each amino acid by the chemical properties of its side chain (R group) at pH 7 . Select the amino acid that fits best i

Blizzard [7]

Answer: The amino acid that has a positively charged R group are LYSINE and ARGININE.

Explanation:

AMINO ACIDS are the basic structural units of proteins. Each amino acid contains an amino group ( -NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH) in its molecule. The carbon atom of amino acid to which the functional groups are attached is know as the alpha-carbon. In neutral solution, amino acids are mainly in the form of dipolar ions. Amino acids can be prepared through hydrolysis of protein by boiling with dilute hydrochloric acid.

Amino acids can be classified according to the chemical properties of its side chain (R group) at pH 7, these include:

--> Amino acids with POSITIVELY CHARGED R group

--> Amino acids with negatively charged R group

--> Amino acids with neutral polar R group

--> Amino acids with nonpolar aliphatic R group.

Amino acids with POSITIVELY CHARGED R group are those amino acids that has side chains which contain nitrogen and resemble ammonia, which is a base. Their pKa's are high enough that they tend to bind protons, gaining a positive charge in the process. Example include LYSINE and ARGININE.

Maggie is solving a chemistry riddle her clue is to take the number of valence electrons in halogens and subtract it by the numb

Novay_Z [31]

The answer to the riddle Maggie is solving is 6

To determine the answer to the riddle Maggie is solving,

We will subtract the number of valence electrons in halogens by the number of valence electrons in alkali metals.

First, let us define what is meant by valence electrons

Valence electrons are those electrons that reside in the outermost shell surrounding an atomic nucleus.

Now, we will the determine the respective number of valence electrons in halogens as well as the number of valence electrons in alkali metals.

For Halogens

Halogens are the group 17 (group 7A) elements in the periodic table. Examples are Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine etc.

Halogens have 7 electrons in their outermost shell

For Alkali metals

Alkali metals are the group 1 metals. Examples are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium etc.

Alkali metals have 1 electron in their outermost shell

Now, for the answer to the riddle,

Answer to the riddle = Number of valence electrons in halogens - Number of valence electrons in Alkali metals

Answer to the riddle = 7 - 1

∴ Answer to the riddle = 6

Hence, the answer to the riddle Maggie is solving is 6
