Answer:

See the answe below, please.

Explanation:

In the stomach, during digestion there are two types of:

-Mechanics: the degradation of food occurs, distension of the stomach walls is performed when they arrive, producing the Chyme.

Chemistry: through the participation of enzymes (pepsin activated by hydrochloric acid, which digests proteins in shorter amino acid chains and; gastric lipase that breaks fat giving glycerin products and fatty acids)

c) What is the pH of the buffer system in part a when 0.030 moles of strong acid are added (without a change in volume)

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

remain the same

Explanation:

The pH of the buffer system remain the same when 0.030 moles of strong acid are added because buffer system has the property to resist any change in the pH when acid or base is added to the solution. In buffer system, one molecule is responsible for neutralizing the pH of the solution by giving H+ or OH-.This molecule is known as buffer agent. If more base is added, the molecule provide H+ and when more acid is added to the solution, then the molecule add OH- to the solution.

Saponification is a chemical reaction _____. A. due to the presence of a strong organic acid. B. that results in an alcohol and

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

that results in an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.

Explanation:

Saponification is a chemical reaction process of alkaline hydrolysis of esters(R'COOR group) by which soap is obtained.

For Example, when a base such as sodium hydroxide [NaOH] is used to hydrolyze an ester, the products are a carboxylate salt and an alcohol. Because soaps are prepared by the alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils.

In a saponification reaction, alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils with sodium hydroxide yields propane-1,2,3-triol and the corresponding sodium salts of the component fatty acids.

i.e Fat or oil + caustic alkali ⇒ Soap + propane-1,2,3-triol

As a specific example, ethyl acetate and NaOH react to form sodium acetate and ethanol:
