Scientists at NatureWorks of Minnetonka, Minnesota, makes food containers from a polymer called polylactic acid, made using microorganisms to convert cornstarch into a resin. The resulting polymer is used to replace rigid petroleum-based plastic used in yogurt containers and water bottles.

When a new bond forms in a chemical reaction, what happens?
Kisachek [45]
The answer to this question would be A. Energy is released. 

When a chemical bond is a form, the bond will either suck up energy or produce energy. So, to be precise the energy is not always released but also can be absorbed. In this case, the energy released number will be a minus.

Options B and C is definitely wrong since the bond is formed by an electron, it won't affects neutron/proton.
Option D might be true since the product is made of 2 or more atoms then it would seem larger. But the size of the actual atom won't be increased.

The Ka of carbonic acid is 4.3 x 10-7.
ratelena [41]

Answer:

poor hydrogen-ion donor

Explanation:

Acid dissociation constant constant chemistry is the equilibrium constant of the dissociation reaction of an acid, it is denoted by Ka. This equilibrium constant is a measure of the strength of an acid in a solution.

Note these as a rule of thumb:

When Ka is large, the dissociation of the acid is favored.

When Ka is small, the acid does not dissociate to a large extent.

Hence, a Ka of 4.3 x 10-7 shows a weak acid. A weak acid is a poor hydrogen ion donor because it does not dissociate to a large extent in solution.

If you added 45,000 calories to water that was at 25 degrees C, and the ending temperature was 35 degrees C, how much water did
user100 [1]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>4.5 L water we have in litres (L).</em>

<em><u></u></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Q=m\times c \times \Delta T

where

\Delta T = Final T - Initial T

Q is the heat energy in calories

c is the specific heat capacity (for water 1.0  cal/(g℃))  

m is the mass of water

Plugging in the values  

\\$45000 \mathrm{cal}=m \times 1.0 \frac{\mathrm{cal}}{\mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \times\left(35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}-25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$\\\\$45000 \mathrm{cal}=m \times 1.0 \frac{\mathrm{cal}}{\mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \times 10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$\\\\$m=\frac{45000 \mathrm{cal}}{1.0 \frac{\mathrm{cal}}{\mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \times 10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}$\\\\$m=4500 \mathrm{g}$\\\\Density of water $=\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { volume }}$

So,

Volume of water = mass/density

\\\\=\frac{4500 \mathrm{g}}{\frac{1.09}{\mathrm{mL}}}=4500 \mathrm{mL}$$

=4.5 L (Answer)
