An acid is a substance that increases the concentration of h3o+ ions in solution. look at the reaction below of phenol (c6h5oh) with water: which reactant acts as an acid by contributing a h+ ion to create h3o+ in the chemical equation?
a. c6h5oh(aq)
b. h2o(l)
c. c6h5o–(aq)
d. h3o+(aq)

Dying the folding patterns of protein molecules can microbiologists better understand cellular processes as well as some diseases, such as alzheimer’s, that are caused by proteins that have misfolded. the folding of these complicated molecules can be simulated on computers, but it takes a lot of processor power and time for even expensive supercomputers to do this. a group of researchers at stanford university developed software that can be used to distribute the processing of data to anyone who is willing to donate time on their idle personal computers. as a result, the researchers have been able to achieve protein-folding simulations that are far better than those other computing methods have done. which statement best describes the work of these researchers? the work is not scientific because the data are not processed in one location. the work is not scientific because the simulations are not reproducible. the researchers applied creativity to solve a problem in running an experiment. the researchers used only well-established scientific techniques.

Darla claims that the first periodic table developed by mendeleev was not completely accurate, so it is not useful at all. harmony argues that it establish the periodic table we use today, making it more credible. who is correct and why? darla is correct, because a model that has any mistakes should be thrown out. darla is correct, because a good model would not need to change. harmony is correct, because mendeleev’s model had all of the information correct in the first version. harmony is correct, because mendeleev’s model made predictions that came true.

Imagine one batch of soup (batch “a”) is made with 8.19 g/can of salt, according to the recipe, and a second batch of soup (batch “b”) is made with 8.32 g/can of salt. explain which batch would be more resistant to frost damage if it is shipped a great distance in winter and explain why.
