Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The reaction of a benzyl bromide with a nucleophile may proceed by SN1 or SN2 mechanism depending on the nature of the solvent used.
Since SN1 reaction involves the formation of a carbocation, it usually predominates in the presence of a poor nucleophiles and protic solvents. Hence when methanol is used as solvent and a poor nucleophile is used, SN1 mechanism predominates.
However, when acetone which is an aprotic solvent is used in the presence of a good nucleophile, SN2 reaction mechanism predominates.
You need to use the Ka for the acetic acid and the equilibrium equation.
Ka = 1.85 * 10^ -5
Equilibrium reaction: CH3COOH (aq) ---> CH3COO(-) + H(+)
Ka = [CH3COO-][H+] / [CH3COOH]
Molar concentrations at equilibrium
CH3COOH CH3COO- H+
0.50 - x x x
Ka = x*x / (0.50 - x) = x^2 / (0.50 - x)
Given that Ka is << 1 => 0.50 >> x and 0.50 - x ≈ 0.50
=> Ka ≈ x^2 / 0.50
=> x^2 ≈ 0.50 * Ka = 0.50 * 1.85 * 10^ -5 = 0.925 * 10^ - 5 = 9.25 * 10 ^ - 6
=> x = √ [9.25 * 10^ -6] = 3.04 * 10^ -3 ≈ 0.0030
pH = - log [H+] = - log (x) = - log (0.0030) = 2.5
Answer: 2.5
Essential amino acids
Amino acids are the molecules that make up proteins when they are linked up. There are certain essential amino acids, namely they are <span>histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
All of these must be obtained from one's diet. If they are not, the body will use existing proteins, such as muscle mass, to obtain them.</span>
Answer:
turgor pressure can be done in a lab or a self test.
turgor pressure is key to the plant’s vital processes. It makes the plant cell stiff and rigid. Without it, the plant cell becomes flaccid. Prolonged flaccidity could lead to the wilting of plants.
Turgor pressure is also important in stomate formation. The turgid guard cells create an opening for gas exchange. Carbon dioxide could enter and be used for photosynthesis. Other functions are apical growth, nastic movement, and seed dispersal.
Explanation:
- salt is bad for turgor pressure.
- Turgidity helps the plant to stay upright. If the cell loses turgor pressure, the cell becomes flaccid resulting in the wilting of the plant.
- The wilted plant on the left has lost its turgor as opposed to the plant on the right that has turgid cells.
Answer:
C. A Spring Scale
Explanation:
Using process of elimination, we can quickly decide that a stopwatch and a ruler will not be useful in measuring the force. This leaves us with either the spring scale or a balance scale. A balance scale is used to compare two weights, so this is eliminated. That leaves us with a spring scale. This is because we can attached the spring scale to the car and when we let it go, we can record the force. I hope this helps!
