Answer:

production of a gas

Explanation:

What makes the cake grow is the action caused by yeast. When added in the dough the yeast undergoes a chemical transformation releasing carbon dioxide, for example from the reaction between sodium bicarbonate and monoacid phosphate. It is the carbon dioxide that makes the cake grow, making the dough light and soft. This reaction is favored by heating, so the use of frozen ingredients in the preparation of the dough can harm the end result.

the rate of disappearance of Br- at some moment in time was determined to be 3.5 x 10-4 M/s. What is the rate of appearance of B

ddd [48]

Answer:

1.8 × 10⁻⁴ mol M/s

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced reaction

2 Br⁻ ⇒ Br₂

Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio

The molar ratio of Br⁻ to Br₂ is 2:1.

Step 3: Calculate the rate of appearance of Br₂

The rate of disappearance of Br⁻ at some moment in time was determined to be 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ M/s. The rate of appearance of Br₂ is:

3.5 × 10⁻⁴ mol Br⁻/L.s × (1 mol Br₂/2 mol Br⁻) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁴ mol Br₂/L.s

Calculate either [ H 3 O + ] or [ OH − ] for each of the solutions.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer: Solution A : $[H_3O^+]=0.300\times 10^{-7}M$

Solution B : $[OH^-]=0.107\times 10^{-5}M$

Solution C : $[OH^-]=0.177\times 10^{-10}M$

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration and pOH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration.

$pH=-\log[H_3O^+]$
