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.

How many grams of aluminum are required to react with 35 mL of 2.0 M hydrochloric acid, HCl?__ HCl + __ Al --> __ AlCl3 + __

kiruha [24]

Answer:

0.6258 g

Explanation:

To determine the number grams of aluminum in the above reaction;

determine the number of moles of HCl
determine the mole ratio,
use the mole ratio to calculate the number of moles of aluminum.
use RFM of Aluminum to determine the grams required.

<u>Moles </u><u>of </u><u>HCl</u>

35 mL of 2.0 M HCl

2 moles of HCl is contained in 1000 mL

x moles of HCl is contained in 35 mL

$x \: mol \: = \: \frac{2 \: \times \: 35}{1000} \\ = 0.07 \: moles \:$

We have 0.07 moles of HCl.

<u>Mole </u><u>ratio</u>

Balanced equation

6HCl(aq) + 2Al(s) --> 2AlCl3(aq) + 3H2(g)

Hence mole ratio = 6 : 2 (HCl : Al

but moles of HCl is 0.07, therefore the moles of Al;

$= \frac{2}{6} \times 0.07 \\ \: = 0.0233333 \: moles$

Therefore we have 0.0233333 moles of aluminum.

<u>Grams of </u><u>Aluminum</u>

We use the formula;

$grams \: = moles \: \times \: rfm$

The RFM (Relative formula mass) of aluminum is 26.982g/mol.

Substitute values into the formula;

$= 0.0233333 \: moles \: \times \: 26.982 \: \frac{g}{mol} \\ = 0.625799 \: grams$

The number of grams of aluminum required to react with HCl is 0.6258 g.

A strontium hydroxide solution is prepared by dissolving 10.60 gg of Sr(OH)2Sr(OH)2 in water to make 47.00 mLmL of solution.What

NeTakaya

Answer:

Approximately $1.854\; \rm mol\cdot L^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

Note that both figures in the question come with four significant figures. Therefore, the answer should also be rounded to four significant figures. Intermediate results should have more significant figures than that.

<h3>Formula mass of strontium hydroxide</h3>

Look up the relative atomic mass of $\rm Sr$ , $\rm O$ , and $\rm H$ on a modern periodic table. Keep at least four significant figures in each of these atomic mass data.

$\rm Sr$ : $87.62$ .
$\rm O$ : $15.999$ .
$\rm H$ : $1.008$ .

Calculate the formula mass of $\rm Sr(OH)_2$ :

$M\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) = 87.62 + 2\times (15.999 + 1.008) = 121.634\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

<h3>Number of moles of strontium hydroxide in the solution</h3>

$M\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) =121.634\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ means that each mole of $\rm Sr(OH)_2$ formula units have a mass of $121.634\; \rm g$ .

The question states that there are $10.60\; \rm g$ of $\rm Sr(OH)_2$ in this solution.

How many moles of $\rm Sr(OH)_2$ formula units would that be?

$\begin{aligned}n\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) &= \frac{m\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right)}{M\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right)}\\ &= \frac{10.60\; \rm g}{121.634\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 8.71467\times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

<h3>Molarity of this strontium hydroxide solution</h3>

There are $8.71467\times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Sr(OH)_2$ formula units in this $47\; \rm mL$ solution. Convert the unit of volume to liter:

$V = 47\; \rm mL = 0.047\; \rm L$ .

The molarity of a solution measures its molar concentration. For this solution:

$\begin{aligned}c\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) &= \frac{n\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right)}{V}\\ &= \frac{8.71467\times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol}{0.047\; \rm L} \approx 1.854\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

(Rounded to four significant figures.)

Hydrates that have a low vapor pressure and remove moisture from air are said to be ___. Question 8 options: effloresce hygrosco

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Hygroscopic

Explanation:

An hygroscopic substance is one that absorbs moisture from the atmosphere and becomes wet. Their ability to remove water from air is less than that of deliquescent substances. Most of the solid hygroscopic substances forms pasty substances and not solutions like the deliquescent compounds.

Examples are sodium trioxonitrate(v), copper(ii) oxide e.t.c

Efflorescence compounds gives off their water of crystallization to the atmosphere.
