Answer:

D.A weak base

Explanation:

The pH of a weak base falls somewhere between 7 and 10. Like weak acids, weak bases do not undergo complete dissociation; instead, their ionization is a two-way reaction with a definite equilibrium point. While strong bases release hydroxide ions via dissociation, weak bases generate hydroxide ions by reacting with water. Ammonia (NH3) and methylamine (CH3NH2) are examples of weak bases.

Answer:

Explanation:

7 is neutral on a PH scale. Anything less is an acid and anything higher is a base. A Ph scale goes from 1-13. 8.4-7=1.4. This is a small change so it is considered a weak base. Can I get brainliest?

What is special about the kelvin temperature scale

nalin [4]

Kelvin is a temperature scale designed so that zero degrees K is defined as absolute zero (at absolute zero, a hypothetical temperature, all molecular movement stops - all actual temperatures are above absolute zero) and the size of one unit is the same as the size of one degree Celsius.

Heating a carboxylic acid with a primary amine forms water along with what organic product? OA) A secondary amide OB) A primary

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

A) secondary amide

Explanation:

When carboxylic acid reacts with a primary amine, a condensation reaction takes place with the elimination of a water molecule .

For example, ethanol reacts with methylamine which is a primary amine gives N-Methylacetamide and a water molecule as:

$CH_3COOH+NH_2CH_3\rightarrow CH_3-CONH-CH_3+H_2O$

The bond formed which is

-- C ---NH ---

is known as secondary amide group as only one hydrogen is attached to nitrogen atom in the amide bond.
