The synthetic compound Zn(C2H3O2)2 is zinc acetic acid derivation. The molecular composition demonstrates that the mixes incorporate zinc, spoke to by Zn; carbon, spoke to by C; hydrogen, spoke to by H; and oxygen, spoke to by O. Below is the <span>an equation that shows how the anion acts as a base:

Explanations:- Acetate ion is a conjugate base of a weak acid(acetic acid). From Bronsted-Lowry concept of acid and base, "Acids are proton donor where as bases are proton acceptors.

To work as a base, acetate ion would be accepting a proton. Water is an amphoteric compound means it could act as an acid as well as a base. So, let's write the reaction of acetate ion with water to show how it acts as a base.

$C_2H_3O_2^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons HC_2H_3O_2(aq)+OH^-(aq)$

In the above reaction, acetate ion has accepted a proton from water means its a base and since water has donated a proton so its an acid.

Acetic acid is the conjugate acid of acetate ion and hydroxide ion is the conjugate base of water.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Her oxygen would be traveling throughout her body and carbon dioxide will be released every time she breathes out. The oxygen will come in through the respiratory system which is a body system that helps you breathe with lungs, which then delivers the oxygen molecules to other organs and body systems. Oxygen will go through the circulatory system and circle around until the some oxygen goes in the cells or the stored glucose. Then some Oxygen molecules go into the cells and make energy with Glucose. She would have higher glucose/ healthy sugar to be considered healthy. But if she was healthy she would have glucose in her digestive system( where the food goes when you swallow it some of the parts are the stomach and intestines both small and large) which will be transferred to the circulatory system then it will circle around the system

Differences between allotropy and isotopy

raketka [301]

Answer:

Property of an element by virtue of which it exists in two or more forms which differ only in their physical properties is known as allotropy. Allotropes are the different physical forms in which the element can exist. Allotropes are different physical forms of the same element.

Also-

Allotropes are different forms of the same element in the molecular level. Isotopes are different forms of atoms of the same chemical element. The key difference between allotropes and isotopes is that allotropes are considered at the molecular level, whereas isotopes are considered at the atomic leve
