Answer: B

Explanation: The clouds act almost like a lid. Think of it like when you put tin foil over food before it goes in the oven. so that even after it is removed from the heat the tin foil traps it causing it to stay warm.

Preparation of ammonia gas

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Ammonia is easily made in the laboratory by heating an ammonium salt, such as ammonium chloride NH4Cl with a strong alkali, such as sodium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide.

The gas may also be made by warming concentrated ammonium hydroxide.

Explanation:

2NH4Cl + Ca(OH)2 → CaCl2 + 2H2O + 2NH3(g)

The Difference Between an Alloy and an Amalgam

Delicious77 [7]

Mixtures or combinations of various different metals or metallic substances form things called alloys. An alloy composed of mercury and other metal (or metals) forms "amalgam". When a true alloy is created, the component metals are combined together at a temperature which is greater than the melting point of all of them.

Also, it helps to remember the word "amalgamate", which means "to alloy (a metal) with mercury" according to Dictionary.com.

Hope this helped :)

Draw the product that valine forms when it reacts with excess CH3CH2OH and HCl followed by a wash with aqueous base.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Product: ethyl L-valinate

Explanation:

If we want to understand what it is the molecule produced we have to analyze the reagents. We have valine an amino acid, in this kind of compounds we have an amine group ( $NH_2$ ) and a carboxylic acid group ( $COOH$ ). Additionally, we have an alcohol ( $CH_3CH_2OH$ ) in the presence of HCl (a strong acid) in the first step, and a base ( $OH^-$ ).

When we have an acid and an alcohol in a vessel we will have an esterification reaction. In other words, an ester is produced. As the first step, the oxygen in the C=O (in the carboxylic acid group) would be protonated. In the second step, 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 step 3, a proton is transferred to produce a better leaving group ( $H_2O$ ). In step 4, a water molecule leaves the main structure to produce again the double bond C=O. Finally, a base ( $OH^-$ ) removes the hydrogen from the C=O bond to produce ethyl L-valinate

See figure 1

Pairs

BabaBlast [244]

Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Energy can be neither created nor destroyed.

Water freezes at 0°C

If a piece of platinum is placed in acid, it will not react.

<h3>What are the correct pairing of the given terms?</h3>

The correct pairing of the given terms are obtained from the given options as follows:

Atoms of elements contains three sub-atomic particles which are protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Energy is the ability to do work.

According to the law of conservation of energy, Energy can be neither created nor destroyed.

Water is a liquid which freezes at 0°C.

Therefore, Water freezes at 0°C.

Platinum is a metal which is less reactive than hydrogen, Hence, it cannot displace hydrogen from acids.

Hence, if a piece of platinum is placed in acid, it will not react.

In conclusion, the correct pairing gives the correct description of the properties of the given terms.

structures with all atoms in the same relative position to one another, but the distribution of electrons around them is differe

allsm [11]

A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds; or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds. The strength of chemical bonds varies considerably; there are "strong bonds" or "primary bond" such as metallic, covalent or ionic bonds and "weak bonds" or "secondary bond" such as Dipole-dipole interaction, the London dispersion force and hydrogen bonding.
