Answer:

He assumed wrongly

Explanation:

It happened this way because the person assumed wrongly.

Most other compounds have the same physical appearance as water especially when in liquid form.

  • This can be a very tricky one in the laboratory.
  • The sense of taste is not the best way to fathom what a particular compound is made up of.
  • This is the reason why this student or person faced this sort of problem.
  • Water has different properties that can be tested for using simple techniques in the laboratory.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In one of the process, energy is built up from scratch, in the other one, energy is liberated for use by an organism or body.

The first process deals with a metabolic reaction in which energy is liberated:

         C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂  → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy

In the above process, energy is liberated when glucose combines with oxygen. The waste products are carbon dioxide and water. This process liberates heat energy which can be used to do work.

   In the reverse process:

             6CO₂ + 6H₂O   →  C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

    This process stores energy in carbon chains as chemical energy. It is this energy that is released in the first process.

Therefore, we can see that the first process liberates energy and the reverse process stores energy.

Many elements bond to carbon by exchanging electrons. true or false.
Sliva [168]
If a metal is bonded to carbon, they form ionic bonds. If a nonmetal forms a bond with carbon, they form covalent bond. Ionic bond requires metals to give away electrons to form cations and nonmetal to gain/accept electron to form anions. Covalent bond requires sharing of electrons between both elements. So if you meant exchange as in covalent bond, then no. Not many nonmetal elements form bonds with carbon as there are more metal elements in the periodic table.
