Answer : The correct option is, CH_3COOH

Explanation :

Organic acid : It is an organic compound that has acidic properties.

The common organic acid is the carboxylic acid. The acidity of carboxylic acid  is associated with their carboxyl group (-COOH).

(a) CH_3COOH :

It belongs to carboxylic acid functional group in which the the -COOH group is directly attached to the CH_3 alkyl group.

(b) CH_2O\text{ or }HCHO :

It belongs to an aldehyde functional group in which the the -CHO group is directly attached to the hydrogen.

(c) C_2H_6O\text{ or }C_2H_5OH :

It belongs to an alcoholic functional group in which the the -OH group is directly attached to the C_2H_5 alkyl group.

(d) CH_4 : It is a methane molecule.

Hence, an organic acid is CH_3COOH

He nitrogen cycle is one of the most important (and complex!) of the biogeochemical cycles. Why is nitrogen important?
gayaneshka [121]

Nitrogen is an essential part of proteins and nucleic acids (DNA).

<h3>Why is nitrogen important?</h3>

All living things require nitrogen. It is a part of proteins, ATP, chlorophyll, DNA, and RNA. Given that it makes up a significant portion of the structures of biomolecules in living organisms, its synthesis and consumption in the biogeochemical cycle are of highest importance. Proteins are made up of amino acids (NH2 group).

The structural development of living species' genetic material (DNA, RNA) also involves nitrogen. It is a part of the nitrogenous bases, which together with other nucleotides create RNA and DNA.

Therefore, a nitrogen deficit can cause major structural issues for such an organism.

<h3>What happens if nitrogen cycle is disrupted?</h3>

A number of undesirable consequences can result from the nitrogen cycle being disrupted. For instance, an abundance of nitrogen in aquatic systems leads to eutrophication. Acid rain can be caused by a rise in atmospheric nitrogen.

The majority of ecosystems can tolerate low nitrogen levels since the majority of nitrogen is not biologically accessible in nature. Ecosystems become out of balance when humans significantly increase the quantity of nitrogen that is accessible through fertilizers, fertilizer use, and other means.

Green plants use light from the Sun to drive photosynthesis, a chemical reaction in which liquid water and carbon dioxide gas fo
Luda [366]

Answer:

0.800 mol of O2

Explanation:

<em>Calculate the moles of oxygen produced by the reaction of 0.800mol of carbon dioxide.</em>

The balanced equation for the reaction is given as;

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2  

From the reaction;

6 mol of CO2 produces 6 mol of O2

0.0800 mol of CO2 would produce x mol of O2

6 = 6

0.0800 = x

Solving for x;

x = 6 * 0.800 / 6

x = 0.800 mol

The vapor pressure of benzene at 298 K is 94.4 mm of Hg. The standard molar Gibbs free energy of formation of liquid benzene at
horsena [70]

Answer:

ΔfG°(C₆H₆(g)) = 129.7kJ/mol

Explanation:

Bringing out the parameters mentioned in the question;

Vapor pressure = 94.4 mm of Hg

The vaporization reaction is given as;

C₆H₆(l) ⇄ C₆H₆(g)

Equilibrium in terms of activities is given by:

K = a(C₆H₆(g)) / a(C₆H₆(l))

Activity of pure substances is one:

a(C₆H₆(l)) = 1

Assuming ideal gas phase activity equals partial pressure divided by total pressure. At standard conditions

K = p(C₆H₆(g)) / p°

Where p° = 1atm = 760mmHg standard pressure

We now have;

K = 94mmHg / 760mmHg = 0.12421

Gibbs free energy is given as;

ΔG = - R·T·ln(K)

where R = gas constant = 8.314472J/molK

So ΔG° of vaporization of benzene is:

ΔvG° = - 8.314472 · 298.15 · ln(0.12421)

ΔvG° = 5171J/mol = 5.2kJ/mol  

Gibbs free energy change of reaction = Gibbs free energy of formation of products - Gibbs free energy of formation of reactants:

ΔvG° = ΔfG°(C₆H₆(g)) - ΔfG°(C₆H₆(l))

Hence:

ΔfG°(C₆H₆(g)) = ΔvG°+ ΔfG°(C₆H₆(l))

ΔfG°(C₆H₆(g)) = 5.2kJ/mol + 124.5kJ/mol

ΔfG°(C₆H₆(g)) = 129.7kJ/mol

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

Nt=25 g

No=100 g

t1/2=5770 years

\tt 25=100\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/5770}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/5770}\\\\2=T/5770\rightarrowT=11540~years
