Answer:

Answer:hydrocarbons

Explanation:

The simplest organic compounds are the hydrocarbons, which contain only carbon and hydrogen. Alkanes contain only carbon–hydrogen and carbon–carbon single bonds, alkenes contain at least one carbon–carbon double bond, and alkynes contain one or more carbon–carbon triple bonds.

Hydrogen gas and aqueous zinc chloride are produced by the reaction of aqueous hydrochloric acid and solid zinc . Write a balanc

Ymorist [56]

1. Write out all the ions/elements and indicate whether they are reactants or products.

Reactants:

Aqueous Hydrochloric Acid: HCl (H has a charge of +1 and Cl has a charge of 1-, so when an ionic bond forms they will form HCl).

Solid Zinc: Zn (since it is a solid zinc with no other forms of elements, the zinc is pure).

Products:

Hydrogen gas: H2 (it has to be H2 because Hydrogen is a diatomic element, and when by itself during reactions, will be H2 instead of H).

Aqueous Zinc Chloride: ZnCl2 (Zn has a charge of 2+ and Cl has a charge of 1-, so through an ionic bond, they will form ZnCl2).

2. Using this information, you can then write out the unbalanced equation.

HCl + Zn -> H2 + ZnCl2

3. Next, indicate their states of matter and any aqueous solutions.

HCl (aq) + Zn (s) -> H2 (g) + ZnCl2 (aq)

4. Try different numbers until you get the same numbers of H, Cl, and Zn on both sides.

2 HCl (aq) + Zn (s) -> H2 (g) + ZnCl2 (aq)

As you can see, the equation contains 2 Hydrogen atoms on both sides, 2 Chloride atoms on both sides, and 1 Zinc atom on both sides. The equation is chemically balanced.

All rocks follow the same pathway though the rock cycle us a false statement. Why?

sammy [17]

False.

This is because there are three different rocks, metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous. Thus, meaning that there are three different pathways, making this statement false.

Hope this helps!

Sarah is writing a paper explaining protein formation. Choose the correct way to complete each sentence.

Amanda [17]

Answer :

Amino acids join by forming (1) peptide bonds. Water is released.

The chains of amino acids vary according to their (2) side chains, which each have differing makeup.

These chains determine the protein’s structure and they fold to create a unique (3) third-dimensional shape.

Explanation :

Amino acid : The amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Amino acids are the compound which consist both amine $(-NH_2)$ and carboxylic $(-COOH)$ groups along with the side chains. In the protein, many amino acids are linked by the peptide bonds.

Th peptide bonds are formed by the combining of amino group of one amino acid to the carboxylic group of another amino acid by releasing of water.

Some examples of amino acids are glycine, lysine, alanine, etc.

Peptide bond formation image is shown below.

In the image 'R' can be contained by different groups like hydrogen, methyl, phenyl, etc
