8 0

Answer:

Option A. the hydroxyl group (-OH)

Explanation:

Ethanol, CH₃CH₂OH belongs to the class of organic compound called alkanol.

They have general formula as R–OH

Where

R => is an alkyl group

OH => is the hydroxyl group

The hydroxyl group (OH) is the functional group of the alkanol (alcohol)

Chlorine reacts very violently. What about its electron shells makes this the case?
guapka [62]

Answer:

it readily gains another electron. the outer electron shell is closer to the nucleus, than iodine for example, which makes it less shielded (greater attraction for another electron = violent reaction to get it)

A researcher wants to determine if a unicellular organism he discovered is an autotroph or a heterotroph. He radioactively label
GaryK [48]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Autotrophs utilize the energy from  sunlight to reduce carbon dioxide to carbohydrates (glucose). The energy from the sunlight is used to split water into H+ and O2- and the H+ used in the reduction process. The labeled carbon in the carbon dioxide will, therefore, be incorporated by the autotrophs in the carbohydrates made in photosynthesis.

Two hydrogen atoms collide in a head on collision and end up with zero kinetic energy. Each then emits a photon of 121.6 nm (n=2
Zinaida [17]

Explanation:

Expression for the kinetic energy is as follows.

         K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Now, total kinetic energy will be as follows.

    K.E = 2 \times \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = m \times v^{2}

Since, this energy converts into electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 121.6 nm.

Relation between energy and photon is as follows.

   Energy of photon = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

                                = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{121.6 \times 10^{-9}}

                                 = 1.63 \times 10^{-18} J

    m \times v^{2} = 1.63 \times 10^{-18}

          v = \sqrt{\frac{1.63 \times 10^{-18}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}

             = 3.12 \times 10^{4} m/s

Thus, we can conclude that atoms were moving at a speed of 3.12 \times 10^{4} m/s before the collision.

Nitric acid can be produced by the reaction of gaseous nitrogen dioxide with water. 3 no2(g + h2o(? ?? 2 hno3(? + no(g if 538 l
Phantasy [73]
The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

<span>3NO2 + H2O = 2HNO3 + NO

Assuming that the gases in this reaction are ideal gas, then we can use the conversion from L to moles which is 1 mol of ideal gas is equal to 22.4 L. We calculate as follows:

538 L NO2 ( 1 mol / 22.4L ) ( 1 mol NO / 3 mol NO2 ) ( 22.4 L / 1 mol ) = 179.33 L NO is produced</span>
