4 0

Answer: B. Hydrolysis (adding water)

Explanation:

When peptide bonds join two or more amino acids together, this is refered to as a peptide. A polypeptide simply means several amino acids. We should also note that proteins contains polypeptides.

The reaction that is capable of breaking polypeptides into their component amino acids is hydrolysis. This simply means a chemical process whereby a water molecule is being added to a particular substance.

andrey2020 [161]

Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction

<u>Explanation:</u>

Basically Wax is crystalline so once the candle light melts it freezes taking back the solid state to the room temperature.

When the room temperature is below the freezing point, the liquid candle wax, turns into solid state again, therefore this process is called solidification. The process of freezing or solidification is a process when an object turns liquid and freezes back to solid state.

Indeed, Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction

Explain with equations and calculations, when necessary, whether an aqueous solution of each of these salts is acidic, basic, or
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The salt, LiNO₃ is a neutral, NR salt as it's a salt formed from the reaction of a strong acid and a strong base.In neutralisation reactions, acids and bases react to form salt and water.However, the salt formed may be acidic, basic or neutral. This is dependent on the type of acid and base which form the salt.A strong acid and a strong base react to yield a neutral salt like, LiNO₃.The equilibrium equation when LiNO₃ is dissolved in aqeous solution is;LiNO₃ + H2O ==>. LiOH + HNO₃

Which of the following radiations consists of a helium nucleus emitted by some radioactive substances? Alpha radiation Beta radi
erica [24]

Answer: Alpha radiation

Explanation: Alpha decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha radiation, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\textrm{He}


Beta decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing beta radiation, the atomic number is increased by 1 unit.


_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}Y+_{-1}^0e


Gamma decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing gamma radiation, the mass number remains same.

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma
