Answer:

that is all I know sorry hope that may help you :)

Explanation:

Indicator is a substance which shows different colors in acidic and basic medium. Indicators can be natural (derived from natural sources) or artificial ( man-made) for example :

*Litmus is an indicator. Acid turns blue litmus into red while base turns red litmus into blue

* Turmeric solution does not show change in color (remains yellow) in acidic solution and turns red in basic solution.

The reaction for photosynthesis producing glucose sugar and oxygen gas is:

Anvisha [2.4K]

1.5 grams of glucose is produced from 2.20 g of CO₂.

To find the mass of glucose produced, first you must know the balanced reaction. For this, the Law of Conservation of Matter is followed.

The law of conservation of matter states that since no atom can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms that are present in the reagents has to be equal to the number of atoms present in the products.

So, in this case, the balanced reaction is:

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the amounts of moles of each reactant and product participate in the reaction:

CO₂: 6 moles
H₂O: 6 moles
C₆H₁₂O₆: 1 mole
O₂: 6 moles

So, you know that 2.20 g of CO₂ react, whose molar weight is 44.01 g/mole. By definition of molar mass, 1 mole of CO₂ has 44.01 g. So, the number of moles that 2.20 grams of the compound represent is calculated as:

$moles of CO_{2} =2.20 grams*\frac{1 mole}{44.01 grams}$

moles of CO₂= 0.05 moles

Now you must follow the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry of the reaction 6 moles of CO₂ produce 1 mole of C₆H₁₂O₆, 0.05 moles of CO₂ produce how many moles of C₆H₁₂O₆?

$moles of C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} =\frac{0.05moles of CO_{2} *1 mole of C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}}{6moles of CO_{2}}$

moles of C₆H₁₂O₆= 8.33*10⁻³

Being the molar mass of glucose 180.18 g/mole, the mass that 8.33*10⁻³ moles of the compound represent is calculated as:

$mass of glucose =8.33*10^{-3} moles*\frac{180.18 grams}{1 mole}$

mass of glucose= 1.5 grams

Then, 1.5 grams of glucose is produced from 2.20 g of CO₂.

Draw the major organic product(s) for the reaction. The starting material is a benzene ring with one substituent. The substituen

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

In electrophilic aromatic substitution, the benzene ring undergoes substitution when it is reacted with suitable electrophiles.

The products of electrophilic aromatic substitution depends on the substituents already present on the benzene ring. Some substituents activate the ring towards electrophilic substitution and direct the incoming electrophile to the ortho and para positions on the ring while some substituents deactivate the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution and direct the incoming electrophlle to the meta position on the ring.

The amide substituent is moderately activating and is an ortho, para director hence the products shown in the mage attached to this answer.

Explain why lime is added to lakes. Refer to the problem that exists and what lime does to the lakes.

aalyn [17]

Explanation:

Lime is added to lower the acidity of lakes when pH levels go too low.

Acidic environment is harmful to aquatic ecosystems. Acidity causes some minerals, such as phosphorus and calcium, in the water to become unavailable to aquatic organisms like plants and fishes ( This means the water hardness is reduced). The low nutrients cause stress and death in the aquatic environment lowering biodiversity. Applying lime raises the pH to neutral levels and improves the health of the aquatic life in the lake. This also improves economic activities in the lake like fishing.

46g of a mineral contained 16g copper, 14g iron and 16g sulphur. Calculate the empirical

pochemuha

Answer:

CuFeS2

Explanation:

Calculate the moles of each substance by doing moles= mass/relative atomic mass. you should get 0.25 moles of copper and iron and 0.5 moles of sulfur. Then divide all of those numbers by 0.25 (as its the lowest value) you should get 1 for copper and iron and 2 for sulfur. This represents the ratio that they are in within the mineral.
