It is a Compound.
Water can't be a mixture because it is chemically bonded and cannot be separated into H2 and O by physical means.
And water cannot be an element, because it is made of atoms of different types [H and Oxygen]
Answer:
Product: ethyl L-valinate
Explanation:
If we want to understand what it is the molecule produced we have to an<u>alyze the reagents</u>. We have valine an <u>amino acid</u>, in this kind of compounds we have an <em>amine group</em> (
) and a <em>carboxylic acid</em> group (
). Additionally, we have an <u>alcohol </u>(
) in the presence of HCl (a <u>strong acid</u>) in the first step, and a base (
).
When we have an acid and an alcohol in a vessel we will have an <u>esterification reaction</u>. In other words, an ester is produced. As the <em>first step,</em> the oxygen in the C=O (in the carboxylic acid group) would be protonated. In the <em>second step</em>, the ethanol attacks the carbon in the C=O of the carboxylic acid group producing a new bond between the oxygen in the ethanol and the carbon in the carboxylic acid. In <em>step 3</em>, a proton is transferred to produce a better leaving group (
). In <em>step 4</em>, a water molecule leaves the main structure to produce again the double bond C=O. <em>Finally</em>, a base () removes the hydrogen from the C=O bond to produce ethyl L-valinate

Answer:
The water would be neutral, (usually 7). The salt water would be the same (7) and the vinegar would be very acidic. (probably 2).
Explanation:
Answer:
All the numbers in a chemical formula are significant, It is because the numbers in a chemical formula denote the number of different atoms present in the particular compound.
For example in H2SO4 there are 2 H 1 S and 4 O. This means 1 H2SO4 has 2 hydrogen 1 sulphur and 4 oxygen.
Answer:
c) +2 to 0
Explanation:
SO4 has a charge of -2, so the Cu attached to that has to be a +2 since the polyatomic molecule has no overall charge
Cu(s) is a solid metal and they have no charge, therefore it is zero
Copper undergoes Oxidation (gain of electrons)
