Option B: B2O3

In order to make a compound, it has to be neutral. We have to combine the +3 charged and the -2 charges until they cancel out.

The only possible compound is B2O3, since the positive charges add up to +6 and the negative charges add up to -6.

The formula is B2O3. The charges need to equal each other to obtain a neutral compound of no charge hence 2 B has a charge of +6 and 3 O has a charge of -6 to cancel out each other, resulting in a stable uncharged compound.

A chemistry student needs 50.0 g of methyl acetate for an experiment. By consulting the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, t

slamgirl [31]

Explanation:

As density is defined as the mass of a substance divided by its volume.

Mathematically, Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

It is given that mass is 50 g and density is 0.934 $g/cm^{3}$ .

Hence, calculate the volume of methyl acetate as follows.

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

0.934 $g/cm^{3}$ = $\frac{50 g}{volume}$

Volume = $53.53 cm^{3}$

or, = $53.53 ml$ (as 1 $cm^{3}$ = 1 mL)

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of methyl acetate the student should pour out is $53.53 ml$ .

If you have studied the chemistry of fats can you identify the end arrangement found in fatty acids as well as amino acids? What

White raven [17]

Answers:
1) - COOH
2) carboxyl group

The organic acids contain the carboxyl group: - COOH.

Fats are structures composed by fatty acids. Fatty acids are long aliphatic chains with a carboxyl group at the end.

Aminoacids are chains that contains amine group (NH2) at one end and the carboxyl group at the other end.

Then both aminoacids and fatty acids contain the carboxyl group (-COOH) at one end.
