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.
<u>Therefore, a carbon skeleton which is covalently bonded to a carboxyl and amino group will behave as both acid and base.</u>
A, as carbon is an atomic substance - element
I think the answer is D in my opinion
Following reaction occurs in the given electrochemical system:
→ Fe +
Thus, under standard conditions
E(0) = E(0) Fe2+/Fe - E(0) Zn2+/Zn
where,
= standard reduction potential of Fe2+/Fe = -0.44 v
= standard reduction potential of Zn2+/Zn = -0.763 v
E(0) = 0.323 v
now, we know that, ΔG(0) =-nFE(0) ............... (1)
Also, Δ
On equating and rearranging equation 1 and 2, we get
K = exp(
)= exp (
) = 8.46 x
Probably CH(subscript)4... :) It's Methane
