Explanation:
Esterification occurs when a carboxylic acid reacts with an alcohol. This reaction can only occur in the presence of an acid catalyst and heat. It takes a lot of energy to remove the -OH from the carboxylic acid, so a catalyst and heat are needed to produce the necessary energy.
Mixing water and sugar is a physical change. A physical change is just a change in the form of the substance, whereas a chemical change is when the substance itself changes… chemically. An easy way to figure out which is which is trying to "undo" the change. If it can be undone, it is physical.
Answer:
B There are two grams of hydrogen for each gram of carbon in this compound.
Explanation:
The second option is a wrong interpretation of this chemical representation of formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula CH₂O.
As this is the simplest formula of the compound, it is the empirical formula. Also, the formula is the actual one for the compound and it is the molecular formula.
Chemically, the formula shows 1 mole of carbon, 2 moles of H and 1 mole of oxygen in the compound.
- A mole of a substance is more a less a unit of measurement in chemistry and it is the amount of substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.
This ratio is not the mass of chemical species in the compound. You cannot tell the mass of elements in a compound by merely looking at the formula.
Answer:
The balance between intermolecular forces and kinetic energy
Explanation:
If the kinetic energies of the particles are not strong enough to overcome the intermolecular forces, the particles will be locked in place in a crystal lattice. The substance will be a solid.
If the kinetic energies of the particles are slightly stronger than the intermolecular forces, the particles will be able to slide past each other. The substance will be a liquid.
If the kinetic energies of the particles are much stronger than the intermolecular forces, the particles will be escape completely from the attractions of their neighbours. The substance will be a gas.
It is called nuclear energy.
