Answer:

The correct option is: (D) would function as both an acid and a base

Explanation:

A carbon skeleton bonded to a amino group as well as a carboxyl group, will behave as an acid in basic medium and base in acidic medium. This is because the carboxyl group present in the compound will release a proton in basic medium and the amino group will accept a proton in the acidic medium.

Therefore, a carbon skeleton which is covalently bonded to a carboxyl and amino group will behave as both acid and base.

Radio waves travel at the speed of light which is 3.00 x 10^8. How many minutes does it take for a radio message to reach saturn

ryzh [129]

Answer:

43.89 min

Explanation:

Given that:-

The speed of light = $3.00\times 10^8\ m/s$

The distance = $7.9\times 10^8\ km$

The conversion of distance in km to distance into m is shown below as:-

1 km = 1000 m

So,

Distance = $7.9\times 10^8\times 1000\ m=7.9\times 10^{11}\ m$

The relation between speed distance and time is shown below as:-

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Thus,

$3.00\times 10^8=\frac{7.9\times 10^{11}}{Time}$

$300000000\times time=10^{11}\times \:7.9\ s$

Time = 2633.33 seconds

Also, 1 s = 1/60 min

So,

Time= $\frac{2633.33}{60}\ min=43.89\ min$

sergey [27]

The answers include:

A loaf of risen but unbaked bread - chemical change.
Photo by Elinor D - chemical change.
Bread dough rising - chemical change.

<h3>What is a Chemical change?</h3>

This involves the formation of a new products from substances. In this scenario, a rising bread contains alcohol which evaporates.

Photographs also fall under this category and is therefore an irreversible chemical change.

Why is cl2 a subcript

vazorg [7]

Answer:

In Cl $_2$ , the 2 is a subscript because it indicates there are 2 of the same elements. The Lewis structure would display it as Cl-Cl.

On the other hand, a superscript would indicate a specific charge.

All subscripts show the amount of the specific element there is.

An example would be O $_2\\$ or N $_2$ , they both show that there are 2 of the same elements.

If the subscript is outside a parenthesis such as $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ it indicates there are 2 $PO_4$ molecules.

In real-life situations, workers collect water samples in a lake or stream instead of using Samples A and B. For this lab to wor

Aloiza [94]

The given above pretty much states already that with the presence of the calcium carbonate which acts as the buffer will allow the solution to withstand changes in acidity. The greater the amount, the higher chances that it will be able to withstand the said changes. Therefore, if Lake X had greater ppm of CaCO3 then, it will be able to withstand greater amount of acid rain.
