Starch is a polysaccharides which is made up of a long chain of glucose. The sub units that for starch are GLUCOSE. The long chains of glucose in starch are connected by alpha 1,4 linkages. The simplest starch in existence is amylose.

A neutral solution has a(n) _______ amount of hydroxide ions compared to hydrogen ions.

erastovalidia [21]

The answer is 'equal'. Hydroxide ions are OH- and Hydrogen ions are H+. Have you noticed they're opposite charges? Positive + negative = neutral. That's all there is to it :)

It was calculated that 4.3mL of 0.417 M HCl is required to titrate 11.9 mL of 0.151 M Mg(OH)2. Show evidence 2 HCl(aq) + Mg(OH)2

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the described chemical reaction:

2 HCl(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

We can notice there is a 2:1 molar ratio between the moles of hydrochloric acid and magnesium hydroxide, therefore, at the equivalence point:

$n_{HCl}=2*n_{Mg(OH)_2}$

And in terms of volumes and concentrations we verify:

$V_{HCl}M_{HCl}=2*V_{Mg(OH)_2}M_{Mg(OH)_2}$

So we use the given data to proof it:

$4.3mL*0.417M=2*11.9mL*0.151M\\1.793=3.594$

Therefore, we can conclude the data is wrong by means of the 2:1 mole ratio that for sure was not taken into account. This is also supported by the fact that normalities are actually the same, but the nomality of magnesium hydroxide is the half of the hydrochloric acid normality since the acid is monoprotic and the base has two hydroxyl ions.

Best regards.
