Both formic acid and carbonic acid contain two hydrogen atoms. Why is the chemical formula of formic acid written HCHO₂ (with th

e two hydrogen atoms listed separately), while the chemical formula of carbonic acid is written H₂CO₃ (with the two hydrogen atoms written together)?
Please explain!

That is because one of the Hydrogens of Formic acid is a part of the functional group (COOH). so to make sure the reader understands that, they second H is written separately

Discribe how an internal combustion engine works. What is drawback to the type of power?
Komok [63]

Answer:

An internal combustion engine is a heat engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer in a combustion chamber. The force of combustion is converted into mechanical energy through the use of levers and gears. The by products of combustion include energy, water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and carbon monoxide (CO). The two primary drawbacks to the internal combustion engine are the primary energy source is non-renewable (fossil fuels) and the by products can have damaging effects on the environment.

Answer:

Option 3.

LiOH(aq) + HNO₃(aq) —> LiNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, we must have an ideal of what is acid–base neutralization.

Neutralization is a reaction involving an acid and a base which produces salt and water only.

With the above information, we can easily detect the equation describing acid-base neutralization reaction by considering the products of each reaction to see the one that has water as part of the products.

From the question given above, only the 3rd equation gas water as part of the products i.e

LiOH(aq) + HNO₃(aq) —> LiNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

Hence, equation 3 is an acid-base neutralization reaction

Read the passage below about acupuncture.
valkas [14]
The answer would be "This ancient form of pain relief and stimulation is said to benefit patients by blocking channels which practitioners claim allowed pain to travel within the body" because this statement best explains how acupuncture reduces pain.

To support such answer, it must be noted that acupuncture is a traditional Chinese mode of pain-relieving through the insertion of extremely fine needles into the skin at specific points in the body known as "acupoints". This may relieve pain by releasing the hormone known as endorphins (happy hormone), which is the body's natural pain-killers and by affecting the brain part that governs serotonin- brain chemical which involved mood.
