The ionization equation is:
HF ⇄ H(+) + F(-)
The ionization constant is Ka = [H(+)] * [H(-)] / [HF]
=> [H(+)] * [F(-)] = Ka * [HF]
Given that Ka < 1
[H(+)] * [F(-)] < [HF]
Which is [HF] > [H(+)] * [F(-)] the option a. fo the list of choices.
Answer: pure substances.
Explanation:
The given substances are:
All what surrounds us, which has mass and occupies spaces, is matter. There are two kind of matter: pure substances and mixtures.
Pure substances have a uniform and constant composition. On the other hand, mixtures are combinations of two or more pure substances in any arbitratry ratio.
Pure substances may be elements or compounds. The elements are the substances conmposed by one only kind of atom. In the list of substances given, Li and O₂ are elements: all the atoms in Li are lithium, and all the atoms in O₂ are oxygen atoms.
Compounds are the chemical combination of two or more different kind of atoms. In the given list H₂O₂ and NaCl are compounds. As you see, H₂O₂ contains atoms of hydrogen and oxygen, chemically bonded, in a fixed ratio (2 atoms of hydrogen by 2 atoms of oxygen). And NaCl has atoms of Na (sodium) and Cl (chlorine), chemicaly bonded, in a fixed ratio (1:1).
There are only 118 known elements and you can find them in any modern periodic table. Therer are virtually infinitely many compounds since many different combinations of the elements can be attained.
Elements and compounds have in common that they are classified as pure substances.
Answer:
c. decarboxylation of an a-keto acid.
Explanation:
Decarboxylation refers to the removal of the carboxyl group from a carboxylic acid and thus releasing carbon dioxide. Decarboxylases are enzymes that speed up the removal of the carboxyl group from acids. These reactants could be amino acids, alpha-keto acids, and beta-keto acids. Biotin is known to catalyze the decarboxylation of malonyl CoA to acetyl CoA during fatty acid synthesis.
Malonyl CoA is converted to acetyl CoA after decarboxylation assisted by biotin also known as Vitamin H. Alpha keto acids are involved in fatty acids synthesis and Malonyl CoA is an alpha-keto acid because the keto group is located in the first carbon near the carboxylic acid group. Keto acids have both a carboxyl group and a ketone group.
I think the answer is a but I am not for sure
Group 7a would have an ion charge of -1 because it has 7 valence electrons and it wants to gain one more electron(which is negative) to have a full shell of 8
