Answer:

The answer is because they are not a substance, but a mixture of organic compounds.

Explanation:

A range of values is used because they are not a substance, but a mixture of organic compounds that has a range of molar masses. Corn syrup contains glucose in not less than 70% by weight of total solids and a reducing sugar content of 20% by weight on a dry basis. The composition of gasoline depends on the source from which it is extracted, therefore it has different molar masses. A gasoline with a long carbon chain is heavy and has a higher mass for a fixed volume, so its density will increase. Any change affecting the product will lead to an increase or decrease in density.

A range of values is given for the density of gasoline and corn syrup could be because these substances changes their volumes along with the changes in temperature which will result to a change in density as well. Hope this answers the question.

When co2 levels are low and o2 levels are high, rubisco adds an o2 molecule to rubp. what are the consequences of this reaction?

marissa [1.9K]

Rubisco is an important enzyme that helps in making lifeless carbon of carbon dioxide into organic molecules. Rubisco takes carbon dioxide and attaches it to ribulose bisphosphate, a short sugar chain with five carbon atoms that has rubp as its shortcut. Rubisco then clips the lengthened chain into to polyglycerate pices, which are pretty flexible molecules and are also used in the feeding of the plant. Most of it is used in the photosynthesis pathway, but some of it is used to make sucrose (table sugar) to feed the rest of the plant, or stored away in the form of starch for later use. Hence, rubisco is crucial in the storing of the energy that is created from photosynthesis.

g If 50.0 mL of a 0.75 M acetic acid solution is titrated with 1.0 M sodium hydroxide, what is the pH after 10.0 mL of NaOH have

V125BC [204]

Answer:

pH = 2.66

Explanation:

Acetic Acid + NaOH → Sodium Acetate + H₂O

First we calculate the number of moles of each reactant, using the given volumes and concentrations:

0.75 M Acetic acid * 50.0 mL = 37.5 mmol acetic acid

1.0 M NaOH * 10.0 mL = 10 mmol NaOH

We calculate how many acetic acid moles remain after the reaction:

37.5 mmol - 10 mmol = 27.5 mmol acetic acid

We now calculate the molar concentration of acetic acid after the reaction:

27.5 mmol / (50.0 mL + 10.0 mL) = 0.458 M

Then we calculate [H⁺], using the following formula for weak acid solutions:

[H⁺] = $\sqrt{C*Ka}=\sqrt{0.458M*1.76x10^{-5}}$

[H⁺] = 0.0028

Finally we calculate the pH:

pH = -log[H⁺]

pH = 2.66
