Which of the following is an important application of hydrogen bonding

Andrews [41]

Hydrogen bonding is important because it is crucial to all life on Earth. Here are three reasons why hydrogen bonding is important. DNA has a double-helix structure because hydrogen bonds hold together the base pairs in the middle. Without hydrogen bonds, DNA would have to exist as a different structure.

What happens to the temperatures when we have direct sunlight vs indirect sunlight?

lawyer [7]

Explanation:

When we have direct sunlight, the temperature is higher compared to indirect sunlight.

Direct sunlight is usually overhead whereas indirect sunlight is at an angle to the surface.

Direct sunlight impacts the surface with more energy concentrated on a smaller surface area.
This warms the surface more.
Indirect sunlight is diffuse and spreads over a wider area.
This leads to a reduction in temperature.

How are distillation and reverse osmosis alike?

Andrei [34K]

I'm having trouble with this one. At the very least, they both purify water. If I'm not mistaken, distillation is part of the process of purifying water.
Really sorry, I hope I helped at least a little! If you have any other questions I might be able to answer better, let me know..

Two common methods to generate an aldehyde is by oxidation of an alcohol and through ozonolysis.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a. True.

Explanation:

Only primary and secondary alcohols can oxidise to give an aldehyde. But a weak oxidizing agent must be used to prevent formation of a carboxylic acid or ketone.

weak oxidizing agents: Chromyl chloride, silver/oxygen/500°C

take an example of ethanol:

 ${ \bf{CH _{3} CH_{2}OH \: \: \frac{Ag/O_{2} }{500 \degree C} > \: \:CH _{3} CHO}}$ 

 ${ \sf{CH _{3} CHO \: \: is \: ethanal}}$ 

By ozonolysis:

Here, reactants are Ozone gas, Carbon tetrachloride at a temperature (<20°C), ethanoic acid, zinc and water.

take an example of propanol:

if it undergoes ozonolysis, it gives ethanal and methanal.
