2.50 x 2/1 = 5 mol of Citric Acid
5 x (3+72+5+112) = 960g of Citric Acid

Answer:

960g

Explanation:

C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}+ 3O_{2} \longrightarrow 2H_{3}C_{6}H_{5}O_{7} + 3H_{2}O

We use stoichiometric relations to solve it.

we know that 1 mol of sucrose produces 2 mol of citric acid (we know it by the coefficients of balancing of the equation)

Now how many moles of citric acid  are produced when2.50 mol of sucrose are used

1mol C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}\longrightarrow 2 mol H_{3}C_{6}H_{5}O_{7}}\\ 2.50 mol C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}\longrightarrow x}\\ x=\frac{2.50.(2)} 1}{1} =5 mol H_{3}C_{6}H_{5}O_{7}

We have to find the molar mass of the compound.

We must multiply the atomic mass of each element of the compound by the number of atoms of each one

molar mass H_{3}C_{6}H_{5}O_{7}

H= 1 g/mol\\C= 12 g/mol\\ O=16g/mol

[tex]H_{3}C_{6}H_{5}O_{7}= (8)1g/mol+6(12g/mol)+ 7 (16g/mol)=192 g/mol[/tex]

We know that in 1 mol of Citric acid it has a mass of 192g.

Now we can find out how many grams of  H_{3}C_{6}H_{5}O_{7} are in 5 mol.

1mol \longrightarrow 192 g \\ 5 mol \longrightarrow x\\ x=\frac{5mol(191g)}{1mol} = 960g

The acid-dissociation constant for benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is 6.3×10−5. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of H3O+ in the s
raketka [301]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of H_3O^+ in the solution is, 2.1\times 10^{-3}M

Explanation :

The dissociation of acid reaction is:

                       C_6H_5COOH+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++C_6H_5COO^-

Initial conc.        c                                 0                0

At eqm.             c-x                                 x                x

Given:

c = 7.0\times 10^{-2}M

K_a=6.3\times 10^{-5}

The expression of dissociation constant of acid is:

K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][C_6H_5COO^-]}{[C_6H_5COOH]}

K_a=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(c-x)}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

6.3\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{[(7.0\times 10^{-2})-x]}

x=2.1\times 10^{-3}M

Thus, the equilibrium concentration of H_3O^+ in the solution is, 2.1\times 10^{-3}M

<h3>As fluorine sits atop chlorine in the periodic table, most people expect it to have the highest electron affinity, but this is not the case. ... Therefore, chlorine has a higher electron affinity than fluorine, and this orbital structure causes it to have the highest electron affinity of all of the elements.</h3>

Claude Bernard first recognized _____.
storchak [24]

Answer : Option B) Plant stomata opening and closing to maintain homeostasis.

Explanation : Claude Bernand was a French Physiologist who first discovered about "homeostasis" which is defined as the controlled stability of the internal milieu, or internal environment, of cells and tissues in plants.

In plants stomatal opening and closing was done for maintaining homeostasis with the external and internal plant environment.
