Answer:

Three of the five oxides are expected to form acidic solutions in water

Explanation:

We have different types of oxides : Acidic oxides, Basic oxides, Amphoteric oxides, Peroxides and Higher oxides.

Only acidic oxides will dissolve in water to give an acidic solution.

Considering the given oxides carefully,

  • SO2 will dissolve in water to produce H2SO3 which is acidic.

  • Y2O3 will dissolve in water to produce Yttrium(III) hydroxide which is basic.

  • MgO will dissolve in water only to produce Mg(OH)2 which is also basic.

  • Cl2O dichlorine mono oxide will dissolve in water to produce HClO which is acidic.

  • N2O5 will dissolve in water to produce HNO3 which is also acidic.

Which of the reagents listed below would efficiently accomplish the transformation of ethyl-3-pentenoate into 3-penten-1-ol?
Mandarinka [93]
Reactions of Ethyl-3-pentenoate with all given reagents are given below.

Reaction with H₂ / Pd:
                                     
The non-polar double bond present in Ethyl-3-pentenoate is reduced to saturated chain. This reagent can not reduce the carbonyl group.

Reaction with NaBH₄:
                                   Sodium Borohydride is a weak reducing agent at compared to LiAlH₄. It can only reduce aldehydes and Ketones to corresponding alcohols.

Reaction with LiAlH₄:
                                  Lithium Aluminium hydride is a strong reducing agent. It can reduce all types of carbonyl compounds to corresponding alcohols, But, it can not reduce non-polar double bonds like alkenes and alkynes.

Result:
           The correct answer is Option-A (Highlighted RED below).

Mr. Smith is hyperglycemic with a blood glucose level of 300mg/ml of blood. Explain how homeostasis would regulate his glucose l
aleksley [76]

Answer:

When the animal has eaten food and the blood glucose level in the body increases. The pancreas cells in the body detects the increase in the blood glucose which leads to increase the insulin hormone.

This decreases the blood glucose level in the level. This is how the negative feedback works in the body if the level of glucose increases.

Negative feedback is the way by which the body maintains homeostasis and maintains equilibrium in the body.

Place each charge form of alanine under the pH condition where it would be the predominant form. The pKa values for the carboxyl
damaskus [11]

Answer:

(A) pH < 1 the predominant form is the cation: H3C-C(H)(NH3+)-COOH  

(B) pH = pl the predominant form is the zwitterion H3C-C(H)(NH3+)-COO-

(C) pH > 11 the predominant form is the anion: H3C-C(H)(NH2)-COO-

(D) Does not occurs in any significant pH: H3C-C(H)(NH2)-COOH

Explanation:

Amino acids are bifunctional because they have an amine group and a carboxyl group. The amine group is a weak base and the carboxyl group is a weak acid, but the pKa of both groups will depend on the whole structure of the amino acid. Also, every amino acid has an isoelectric point (pI), which means the pH were the predominant form of the amino acid is the zwitterion. The structure of the alanine (CH3CH2NH2COOH) shows it has the carboxyl group at C1 with a pKa1 of 2.3  and the amino group at C2 whit the pKa2 of 9.7. The isoelectric poin (pI) of Alanine is 6. Consequently, the protonation of the molecule will depend on the pH of the solution. There are three possibilities:

1) If the pH is under the pKa of the carboxyl group (2.3) the predominant form will be with the amino group protonated, forming a cation (CH3CH(NH3+)COOH).

2) If the pH is between pKa1 (2.3) and pKa2 (9.7) the predominant form will be the zwitterion (CH3CH(NH3+)(COO-)).

3) If the pH is upper the pKa2 of the amino group (9.7) the predominant form will be with the carboxyl group deprotonated, forming an anion (CH3CHNH2(COO-)).

A compound is 2.00% H by mass, 32.7% S by mass, and 65.3% O by mass. What is its empirical formula? The second step is to calcul
Free_Kalibri [48]
Lets take 100 g of this compound,
so it is going to be 2.00 g H, 32.7 g S and 65.3 g O.

2.00 g H *1 mol H/1.01 g H ≈ 1.98 mol H
32.7 g S *1 mol S/ 32.1 g S ≈ 1.02 mol S
65.3 g O * 1 mol O/16.0 g O ≈ 4.08 mol O

1.98 mol H : 1.02 mol S : 4.08 mol O = 2 mol H : 1 mol S : 4 mol O
