An alginic acid is bio polymer.  The two modified carbohydrate units make up the basic building block of this polymer are guluronic acid ( G) and mannuronic acid (M).

Alginic acid is a biopolymer formed from chain of polyuronic acid. Alginic acid is polysaccharide found in brown algae. Alginic acid is also known as Algin. it is linear co-polymer.

Polysaccharides  are found in the food and it is most abundant carbohydrates. It is long chains of monosachharides. Polysaccharides  is formed by glycosidic linkage or bonds .

Example of polysaccharides are cellulose , starch , glucogen.

Iron metal has a specific heat of 0.449J/g°C. How much heat is transferred to a 5.00 a piece of iron, initially at 20.0°C, when
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Q = 44.9 j

Explanation:

Mass of iron = 5.0 g

Change in temperature = 20 °C

Specific heat of iron = 0.449 j/g.°C

Heat transferred = ?

Formula:

<em>Q = m.c. ΔT </em>

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Solution:

<em>Q = m.c. ΔT </em>

Q = 5 g × 0.449 j/g.°C ×  20 °C

Q = 44.9 j

0.509g sample pure platinumetal was reacted with HCl to firm O.889g of platinum and chlorine. what is the percent by mass of pla
stepan [7]
Platinum plus chlorine equals 0.889 grams whereas the platinum alone is 0.509grams so 0.509/0.889grams = 57%  of the mass of the platinum plus chlorine. The chlorine would be 0.889-0.509=0.38 grams. The chlorine would make up about 42.7% of the total mass in grams.
