First, we apply the law of conservation of mass which states that the total mass in a system remains constant.
Therefore, there must be 5.00 g of sulfur and 4.99 g of oxygen in the product. Now, we determine the mass percentage using:

Mass % = (mass of sulfur x 100) / total mass of compound

Mass % = (5 * 100) / (5 + 4.99)

Mass % = 50.05%

The product contains 50.05% sulfur by mass.

Answer:

The equation that gives the overall equilibrium in terms of the equilibrium constants K and Ky is K1 = K^6 * Ky

Explanation:

we have the following balanced reaction:

CaC2 + 2H2O = C2H2 + Ca(OH)2

the value of K for this reaction will be equal to:

K = ([C2H2] * [Ca(OH)2])/([CaC2] * [H2O]^2)

if we multiply the reaction by the value of 6, we have:

6CaC2 + 12H2O = 6C2H2 + 6Ca(OH)2

Again, the value of K for this reaction will be equal to:

K,´ = ([C2H2] ^6 * [Ca(OH)2]^6)/([CaC2]^6 * [H2O]^12) = K^6

For the second reaction:

6C2H2 + 3CO2 + 4H2O = 5CH2CHCO2H

The value of K for this reaction:

K2 = ([CH2CHCO2H]^5)/([C2H2]^6 * [CO2]^3 * [H2O]^4)

we also have:

K1 = ([CH2CHCO2H]^5)/([C2H2]^6 * [CO2]^3 * [H2O]^16)

Thus:

K1 = K^6 * Ky

when carbon dioxide is bubbled through lime water the solution first turn milky and to colour less . Explain why these changes o
Annette [7]

Answer:

When excess of carbon dioxide is passed in lime water, calcium carbonate is converted to calcium bicarbonate which is soluble, hence the milkiness due to calcium carbonate disappears.

Explanation:

Ca(OH)2+CO2 → CaCO3 (Milkiness) ↓+H2O

CaCO3+H2O+CO2 → Ca(HCO3)2 (soluble)

Which of the following statements regarding glucose is FALSE?a) Glucose is the main component of starch and glycogen.b) Glucose
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are one of the macro molecules that are consumed by living organisms. The end product of carbohydrate is glucose. Glucose is a very important fuel that the body cells used to produce energy, which they use to carry out their daily activities. Glucose is also known as blood sugar and it is the only fuel that living cells can use for the production of ATP. Other food macro molecules such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose if there is a need for that. Glucose is always stored in the body in form of glycogen.

The statement given in option C about glucose is wrong because glucose is a monosaccharide and not a disaccharide.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

the candle is hot so the first energy form should be heat. u could now just eliminate the rest but for further notice. the heat melts the wax in the candle, which is a physical change but also the thread is burning out which is a chemical change then light follows

9- Which pair of formulae represents two alkanes? (1 mark)
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

A) CH4 and C8H18

Explanation:

  • General Formula for an Alkane = CnH2n+2

  • This means for every number of Carbon (C) atoms, there are twice as many Hydrogen (H) atoms with an additional two added onto that.

  • Therefore, if there is one Carbon Atom, and we multiply that by two, and then add an additional two, we get 4 Hydrogen atoms, so CH4, which is our first Formulae

  • Secondly, if we have eight Carbon Atoms, and we multiple that by two (16), and then add an additional two, we get 18 Hydrogen atoms, so C8H18, which is our second Formulae

  • The other Formulas do not follow this 'General Formula'
