Animals use oxygen to convert this food into energy they can use, and to maintain a steady supply of carbon atoms that are necessary for building any animal cells. Respiration also returns carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere as a waste product, where plants can reabsorb it in the process of photosynthesis. hope I helped.
I have attached an image of the IR spectrum required to answer this question.
Looking at the IR, we can look for any clear major stretches that stand out. Immediately, looking at the spectrum, we see an intense stretch at around 1700 cm⁻¹. A stretch at this frequency is due to the C=O stretch of a carbonyl. Therefore, we know our answer must contain a carbonyl, so it could still be a ketone, aldehyde, carboxylic, ester, acid chloride or amide. However, if we look in the 3000 range of the spectrum, we see some unique pair of peaks at 2900 and 2700. These two peaks are characteristic of the sp² C-H stretch of the aldehyde.
Therefore, we can already conclude that this spectrum is due to an aldehyde based on the carbonyl stretch and the accompanying sp² C-H stretch.
The pressure of the oxygen gas collected : 718 mmHg
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
P tot = 748 mmHg
P water vapour = 30 mmHg
Required
P Oxygen
Solution
Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases
Can be formulated:
P tot = P1 + P2 + P3 ....
The partial pressure is the pressure of each gas in a mixture
P tot = P H₂O + P Oxygen
P Oxygen = 748 mmHg - 30 mmHg
P Oxygen = 718 mmHg
The dissociation of isocyanic acid in water produces its conjugate base, C N- since it will accept a proton to form isocyanic acid.
<h3>What is a conjugate base?</h3>
A conjugate base is a substance which is formed from the loss of the hydrogen ion of an acid and which will act as a base by accepting a proton.
The dissociation of Isocyanic acid in water is given below:

The conjugate base is C N- since it will accept a proton to form isocyanic acid.
