When you burn a log in your fireplace you are converting c<span>ellulose into carbon dioxide and water.
</span>
Wood is made from cellulose. When wood burns, cellulose reacts with oxygen from the air and it forms carbon dioxide and water vapor. 

The reaction of the combustion of glucose is as follows:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ = 6 CO₂ + 6H₂O
When wood burns, we notice that it slowly disappears because it passes into the mentioned gases. The ash that is created is part of the wood that did not burn.

Calcium and bromine have formed a bond. Leading up to this, calcium gave up electrons. It was a(n) ____.
Ugo [173]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

It was a positive ion.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

In CaBr, ionic bond is present. When one of the atom loses electrons and gets positive charges and other atom gains electrons and become negative. As a result of positive and nagative charges , a ionic bond formed.

As in this case, Ca loses electrons and become positive ion while on the other hand bromide gets the electrons and become negative ion.

<em>Note:</em>

Electropositive atoms always loose electrons Like Ca while electronegative atoms always gain elelctrons like Br.

Your teacher needs a 3.0M solution acid, but only has a 12.0M stock solution of sulfuric acid in the chemical store room. Calcul
arlik [135]

Answer:

The calculations are in the explanation below.

The <em>steps </em>are:

  • 1. Using a graduated pipette, accurately take 25mL of the 12.0M stock solution.
  • 2. Pour the 25mL of stock solution into a 100 mL volumetric flask
  • 3. Add distilled water up to the mark
  • 4. Cap the flask with the stopper
  • 5. Stirr by gently rotating the flask.

Explanation:

To make 100 mililiter of the 3.0M solution of sulfuric acid, first you must calculate the volume of the 12.0M stock solution that contains the same number of moles as the diluted solution.

For that, you use the dilution formula:

  • number of moles = C₁V₁ = C₂V2
  • 12.0M×V₁ = 3.0M × 100mL
  • V₁ = 3.0M × 100mL/12.0M = 25mL

Then, the steps are:

1. Using a graduated pipette, accurately take 25mL of the 12.0M stock solution.

2. Pour the 25mL of stock solution into a 100 mL volumetric flask

3. Add distilled water up to the mark

4. Cap the flask with the stopper

5. Stirr by gently rotating the flask.
