Answer:

Explanation:

The stereochemical structures of the two compounds of the fumarase-catalyzed reaction are in the attachment below. The reaction been referred to is illustrated in the equation below

HOOCCH=CHCOOH + H₂O ==> HOOCCH₂CH(OH)COOH

The compounds attached are trans-2-butenedioate (which is one of the reactants) and (s)-2-hydroxysuccinate (which is the product formed)

Note that stereoisomers are isomers that differ in spatial orientation, thus there are other isomers that could contain the same atoms and have slightly but different spatial orientation such as cis-2-butenedioate and (r)-2-hydroxysuccinate

See explanation

Explanation:

(a) The handspan is the distance between the tip of the thumb and tip of the little finger when the hand is fully stretched.

b) It is impossible for them to obtain an accurate result by the use of a handspan because it doesn't use any standard unit for measurement. It is entirely subjective and highly prone to human errors.

How do atoms form ions

Cerrena [4.2K]

Ions are electrically charged particles formed when atoms lose or gain electrons. They have the same electronic structures as noble gases. Metal atoms form positive ions, while non-metal atoms form negative ions. The strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions are called ionic bonds.

Can someone SCIENTIFICALLY explain to me the formation of all types of Acid Rain?<br> Plz

faust18 [17]

so basically

some fuels have an impurity in them which is sulfur.

When the fuel undergoes combustion, the sulfur reacts with oxygen in the air to form sulfur dioxide.

the sulfur dioxide reacts with water vapour in the air to form sulfurous acid, which is a type of acid rain.

Also

the high pressures inside a car engine may cause nitrogen and oxygen in the air to react and form oxides of nitrogen. the most common compounds formed inside car engines are NO (nitrogen oxide) and NO2 (nitrogen dioxide)
