Answer:

Reducing sugars are absent

Explanation:

Benedict's solution is an substance used in testing sugars. It is mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium citrate and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. It can be used instead of Fehling's solution in testing for the presence of reducing sugars.

Reducing sugars contain the -CHO group. If there is no colour change after the addition of Benedict's solution, then we can conclude that reducing sugars are absent.

A compound containing sodium, chlorine, and oxygen is 25.42% sodium by mass. A 3.25 g sample gives 4.33×1022 atoms of oxygen. Wh
Tcecarenko [31]
step  one 
calculate  the  %  of  oxygen
from  avogadro  constant
1moles =  6.02  x  10  ^23  atoms
what  about    4.33  x10^22  atoms
= ( 4.33  x  10^ 22 x 1 mole )  /  6.02  10^23=   0.0719 moles
mass=  0.0719  x16=  1.1504   g
% composition   is therefore= ( 1.1504/3.25)  x100 = 35.40%
 step  two
calculate the  %  composition  of  chrorine
100-  (25.42  +  35.40)=39.18%

step  3
calculate the  moles   of  each  element
that   is  
Na  =  25.42  /23=1.1052  moles
Cl=  39.18  /35.5=1.1037moles
O=  35.40/16=  2.2125   moles
step  4
find  the  mole  ratio  by  dividing  each  mole  by  1.1037  moles
that  is
Na  =  1.1052/1.1037=1.001
Cl= 1.1037/1.1037=  1
0=2.2125 = 2
therefore  the  empirical  formula= NaClO2

Which of the following statements is TRUE? Which of the following statements is TRUE? Two electrons in the same orbital can have
Monica [59]

An orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is less shielded from nuclear charge than an orbital that does not penetrate and therefore has a lower energy.

Explanation:

The only true statement from the given options is that "an orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is less shielded from nuclear charge than an orbital that does not penetrate and therefore has a lower energy." Inner orbitals which are also known to contain core electrons feels the bulk of the nuclear pull on them compared to the outermost orbitals containing the valence electrons.

  • The nuclear pull is the effect of the nucleus pulling and attracting the electrons in orbitals.
  • This pull is stronger for inner orbitals and weak on the outer ones.
  • The outer orbitals are said to be well shielded from the pull of the nuclear charge.
  • Also, based on the quantum theory, electrons in the outer orbitals have higher energies because they occupy orbitals at having higher energy value.

a researcher obtains a sample of 0.070 M nitrate solition. A 20.0 mL aliquote of the nitrate solution is added to 10.0 mL of amm
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Concentration of nitrate in the new solution = 0.007 M

Explanation:

Given:

Concentration nitrate solution = 0.070 m

Volume of aliquote of the nitrate solution is add = 10.0 ml

Total volume = 100 ml

Find:

Concentration of nitrate in the new solution

Computation:

Number of M. mole = 0.070 m x 10.0 ml

Number of M. mole = 0.7 m-moles

Concentration of nitrate in the new solution = 0.7 m-moles / 100 ml

Concentration of nitrate in the new solution = 0.007 M

True or false: nitrogen gas behaves more like an ideal gas as the temperature increases
navik [9.2K]

Is true. Nitrogen gas behaves more like an ideal gas as the temperature increases. Under normal conditions such as normal pressure and temperature conditions , most real gases behave qualitatively as an ideal gas. Many gases such as air , nitrogen , oxygen ,hydrogen , noble gases , and some heavy gases such as carbon dioxide can be treated as ideal gases within a reasonable tolerance. Generally, the removal of ideal gas conditions tends to be lower at higher temperatures and lower density (that is at lower pressure ), since the work made by the intermolecular forces is less important compared to the kinetic energy<span> of the particles, and the size of the molecules is less important compared to the empty space between them. </span><span>The ideal gas model tends to fail at lower temperatures or at high pressures, when intermolecular forces and intermolecular size are important.</span>
