Answer:
Bacteria are vital in keeping nitrogen cycling through the ecosystem, and nitrogen is vital to plant growth. Without bacteria around to break down biological waste, it would build up. And dead organisms wouldn't return their nutrients back to the system
Explanation:
Sand/quartz or silicon dioxide contains both silicone and oxygen

Answer:
Longer hydrocarbon molecules have a stronger intermolecular force. More energy is needed to move them apart so they have higher boiling points . This makes them less volatile and therefore less flammable
Answer:
50 kg
Explanation:
Data:
Mass of bicycle = 10 kg
F = 168 N
a = 2.8 m/s²
Calculation:
F = ma Divide each side by m, Then
m = F/a
= 168/2.8
= 60 kg
m = mass of bicycle + Naoki's mass. Then
60 = 10 + Naoki's mass Subtract 10 from each side
Naoki's mass = 50 kg
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
