Explanation

A single chlorine-free radical (Cl•) can destroy up to 100,000 ozone (O₃) molecules. This significant impact on ozone is due to the catalytic nature of chlorine in the ozone depletion process.

Explanation

To solve the equation, we need to simplify both sides of the equation by expanding and combining like terms.

Then, we can isolate the variable.

1. Expand the expressions on both sides of the equation:

3x + 12 - 2 = 4x - 6 + 5

3x + 10 = 4x -1

2. Move all terms involving  to one side of the equation:

3x - 4x = -1 -10

-x = -11

3. Solve by dividing both sides by -1:

 x = -11/-1

x = 11

Explanation

The hydrolysis of fats is brought about by lipase enzymes.

Lipases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of fats into fatty acids and glycerol.

Explanation

In decolorization, particularly in purifying substances like sugar or organic compounds, animal charcoal (also known as bone char) is often used for its adsorptive properties.

The boiling of animal charcoal with hot water serves several purposes:

• Activation
• Removal of Soluble Impurities
• Enhancing Adsorption

The general steps involved in the decolorization process with animal charcoal include:

• Preparation
  
• Mixing
• Adsorption
• Filtration
• Recovery

Explanation

To determine the fraction of the pizza that remains after 4 slices are eaten from a pizza divided into 10 equal slices, we can follow these steps:

1. Total slices in the pizza:

10 equal slices

2. Slices eaten:

4 slices

3. Slices remaining:

Subtract the slices eaten from the total slices to find the slices that remain:

10 - 4 = 6

4. Fraction of the pizza remaining:

The fraction of the pizza that remains after 4 slices are eaten out of 10 slices can be calculated as:

slices remaining / total slices = 6/10 = 3/5

Explanation

In "The Overcoat" by Nikolai Gogol, the young man's evening promenade ends in his death.

After purchasing a new overcoat, which briefly brings him joy and a sense of pride, he is mugged by thieves who steal the coat.

Explanation

 In "Button, Button" by Richard Matheson, Norma tears open the box unit but finds nothing inside.

There's no clear explanation given for why there's nothing else inside the box.

This lack of content adds to the mysterious and eerie atmosphere of the story.

Explanation

Acetamide, which is a primary amide and has the chemical formula CH3CONH2, is typically prepared by heating ammonium acetate.

Here's the reaction:

CH3COO −NH4+ → CH3CONH2 + H2O

In this reaction, ammonium acetate (CH3COONH4) decomposes upon heating to form acetamide (CH3CONH2) and water (H2O).

This process is a type of thermal decomposition reaction.
