Because each carbon atom can form for chemical bonds to another’s atoms and because the carbon atom is just the right small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules

Draw and name the structures of the carboxylic acids and esters you put together using molecular models.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

However, when the carboxylic acids and esters put together are obtained, the procedure below can be followed in drawing and naming them.

For carboxylic acid,

1) it should be noted that the functional group here is -COOH which is drawn as -C = OH

      |

     OH

2) The carbon of the functional group is included among the carbon to be counted when naming the structure. For example, the compound below is propanoic acid.

CH₃CH₂COOH - As you can see that there are 3 carbons linked chain there.

3) As can be seen in (2) above, the suffix "oic" is used to name carboxylic acids

4) The carbon chain here is saturated (meaning there is no double or triple bond within the carbon chain)

Example of a structure of carboxylic acid is

H₃C - CH₂ - CH₂ - C = OH

                              |

                             OH

The structure above is a butanoic acid

For ester

1)The functional group here is -COO- . which can be drawn as

- C = O

   |

  O -

(meaning one oxygen atom is double bonded to the carbon and the other oxygen atom is bonded to another carbon chain)

2) The alkyl group attached to the oxygen atom is first of all mentioned before the carbon chain attached from the left is mentioned. For example, CH₃CH₂CH₂COOCH₂CH₃ is ethyl butanoate

3) As seen from (2) above, the suffix "oate" is used to end the name of esters

4) As also seen from (2) above, the carbon of the functional group is also included while counting the carbon chain of the parent name (butanoate).

5) The carbon chains here are also saturated.

Example of this ester is

CH₃CH₂C = O

              |

             O - CH₂CH₃

The name of this compound is ethyl propanoate

Which of the following could result from a substance that
sukhopar [10]

The features that can be observed from a substance that undergoes a chemical change is that the shape is altered. That is option D.

<h3>What is a chemical change?</h3>

A chemical change is the change in which two or more chemical substances involved in a chemical reaction rearranges their chemical bonds to form a new product.

In the chemical change, the shape of an object can be changed and the object will still remain true to its chemical composition.

Therefore, the features that can be observed from a substance that undergoes a chemical change is that the shape is altered.

What is Gibbs free energy?
irakobra [83]
<span>The answer is A. In chemistry, Gibbs Free Energy is defined as the enthalpy of the system minus the product of the temperature times the entropy of the system. To write it as a formula, G = H - TS, delta G=delta H-T*delta S, where delta denotes the change.</span>
