Answer:
d. may melt if heat is transferred to it from hot mantle rock rising up into the crust.
Explanation:
Hot, solid rock in the Earth's crust is a solid outer region of the Earth, Underneath the Earth Structure lies the mantle which is composed of solid rocks especially granite and basalt. The mantle is very hot and may melt if heat is transferred to it from hot mantle rock rising up into the crust therefore forming a molten magma. It may even be hotter (and not cooler as it was stated in the option A which makes it the wrong answer) than the surface lava because of the pressure of the overlying rock. As such, This effect is seen when a volcanic eruption occurs.
Answer:
Clavulanic acid has two (2) chiral centers.
Explanation:
A chiral center is a center (usually carbon) with four different substituents.
The structure of clavulanic acid is shown in the attachment below.
Consider the labeled diagram in the attachment,
Carbon A is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it
Carbon B is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents
Carbon C is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents
Carbon D is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents
Carbon E is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it
Carbon F is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it
Carbon G is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it
Carbon H is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents
Then, only carbons C and D are chiral carbons.
Hence, clavulanic acid have two (2) chiral centers.
