C. atoms of reactants rearrange to form new substances
Well, you don't need enzymes (biological catalysts) if you're willing to wait a century or two to digest a burger.
Without catalysts, complex reactions like digestion would take too long and the organism could not extract energy from the nutrients it eats in a practical time frame.
In addition, speed is everything in the biological world.
Some reactions and their speed relative to other organisms reactions determines who survives and who doesn't, among other aspects of life.
If a plant is slow to photosynthesize and grow in a habitat high in competition for sunlight real estate, other autotrophs will surely take over.
Answer:
2,3–dimethylpentane
Explanation:
To know which option is correct, we shall determine the name of the compound.
To obtain the name of the compound, do the following:
1. Determine the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.
2. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound.
3. Locate the position of the substituent group by giving it the lowest possible count.
4. Combine the above to obtain the name of the compound.
Now, we shall determine the name of the compound as follow:
1. The longest continuous carbon chain is 5. Thus, the parent name of the compound is pentane.
2. The substituent group attached is methyl (–CH₃)
3. There are two methyl group attached to the compound. One is located at carbon 2 and the other at carbon 3.
4. Therefore, the name of the compound is:
2,3–dimethylpentane
None of the options are correct.
<u>Given information:</u>
Concentration of HCl = 0.035 M
<u>To determine:</u>
pH of the solution
<u>Explanation:</u>
Hydrochloric acid, HCl is a strong acid. It will completely dissociate to give H+ and Cl- ions
HCl → H+ + Cl-
Hence the concentration of H+ = Cl- = 0.035M
Now, pH measures the strength of H+ ions in a given solution. It is expressed as:
pH = -log[H+]
pH (HCl) = -log(0.035) = 1.46
Ans: pH of 0.035M HCl is 1.46
