Why is carbon good for forming the structure of life?

Chemistry

Leni [432]3 years ago

First things first carbon is quite common element here in Earth. But it is not all, right? Otherwise we would be built from other, more common elements. The thing is in carbon reactiveness. Also energy needed to create carbon chemical compounds isnt that big when compared to etc nitrogen. It can bind up to 4 different elements (atoms). Thanks to this can givesingle, both and triple bindings! Carbon can give away electrons or take them making his degree of oxidation consequently from -IV to +IV. All this vareity leads to vareity of bigger elements that will be created from carbon later- carbohydrates, proteins etc. As life needs vareity to adapt to different situations and climax only carbon therefore can provide this.

1. Why is soil erosion relatively less in dense forests as compared to barren, open fields?
vredina [299]

Because the deep roots of big trees hold the soil and don't let it slip away simply by rain or wind.

Is a solution in which (OH) = 1.0 10-1M acidic, basic, or neutral?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The pH is 13,00 and the solution is basic.

Explanation:

<em> </em>The pH indicates the acidity or basicity of a substance. PH values between 0 and less than 7 indicate acidic solutions, 7 neutral and higher than 7 to 14 basic. It is calculated as

pH = -log (H 30+)

Both pH and pOH have a relationship to belonging to the same aqueous solution: the expression of the Kwater (ionic product of the water Kw) is used:

[H3O ^ +]x [OH ^ -] = 1x 10 ^ -14

[H3O ^ +]x [1.0 10-1]=1x 10 ^ -14

[H3O ^ +]= 1x 10 ^ -14/1.0 10-1M= <em>1.0 10-13 M</em>

pH = -log (H 30+)= -log (1.0 10-13 M)= <em>13, 00</em>

As the pH value is higher than 7, it corresponds to a basic substance.

Which ONE of the following is an oxidation–reduction reaction? A) PbCO3(s) + 2 HNO3(aq) ––––&gt; Pb(NO3)2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
sveta [45]

Answer:

E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g)

Explanation:

Which ONE of the following is an oxidation–reduction reaction?

A) PbCO₃(s) + 2 HNO₃(aq) ⇒ Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

B) Na₂O(s) + H₂O(l) ⇒ 2 NaOH(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

C) SO₃(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂SO₄(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

D) CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂CO₃(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g). YES. <u>C is reduced</u> and <u>H is oxidized</u>.
