Sucrose is stored in dry and closed container, sealed properly.

Explanation:

Sucrose is nothing but the table sugar which we use daily in our life.
Sucrose is formed by the combination of fructose and glucose so, it called a disaccharide because two monosaccharides are converted to form sucrose.
It is a hygroscopic substance. The hygroscopic substance is which is easily vulnerable to water absorption. They tend to absorb water if they are being exposed to humid places.
Hence, it should be kept in a dry and close container, sealed properly.

1. What is the molarity of a solution which contains 0.256 mol of a substance dissolved in 143 mL of solution.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The equation for molarity is moles/liter for the first question you would do 0.256/0.143 liters to get 1.790 mol/L

Explanation:

The second problem you would do need to find the moles of NaCl which you would do by doing 4.89 g/58.44g/mol= 0.08367 then do 0.08367/0.600= 0.139 mol/L

The third problem would be the same steps as the second one.

The fourth problem would be (0.460M)(5.50L)= 2.53 moles

Starting with 2.50 mol of N2 gas (assumed to be ideal) in a cylinder at 1.00 atm and 20.0C, a chemist first heats the gas at con

arsen [322]

Answer:

a) $T_b=590.775k$

b) $W_t=1.08*10^4J$

d) $Q=3.778*10^4J$

d) $\triangle V=4.058*10^4J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Moles of N2 $n=2.50$

Atmospheric pressure $P=100atm$

Temperature $t=20 \textdegree C$

$t = 20+273$

$t = 293k$

Initial heat $Q=1.36 * 10^4 J$

Generally the equation for change in temperature is mathematically given by

$\triangle T=\frac{Q}{N*C_v}$

Where

$C_v=Heat\ Capacity \approx 20.76 J/mol/K$

$T_b-T_a=\frac{1.36 * 10^4 J}{2.5*20.76 }$

$T_b-293k=297.775$

$T_b=590.775k$

Generally the equation for ideal gas is mathematically given by

$PV=nRT$

For v double

$T_c=2*590.775k$

$T_c=1181.55k$

Therefore

$PV=Wbc$

$Wbc=(2.20)(8.314)(1181_590.778)$

$Wbc=10805.7J$

Total Work-done $W_t$

$W_t=Wab+Wbc$

$W_t=0+1.08*10^4$

$W_t=1.08*10^4J$

Generally the equation for amount of heat added is mathematically given by

$Q=nC_p\triangle T$

$Q=2.20*2907*(1181.55-590.775)\\$

$Q=3.778*10^4J$

Generally the equation for change in internal energy of the gas is mathematically given by

$\triangle V=nC_v \triangle T$

$\triangle V=2.20*20.76*(1181.55-293)k$

$\triangle V=4.058*10^4J$

fish give off the compound ammonia which has a pH above 7 to which class of compounds does ammonia belong

jasenka [17]

Answer:
The compound ammonia given by fish is alkaline

Explanation:
We can classify elements/compounds based on their pH values into three types:
acids: these are compounds having pH value lower than 7
neutral: these are compounds having pH value equal to 7
alkalies: these are compounds having pH values higher than 7

This is shown in the attached image

We are given that the pH of the compound ammonia generated by the fish is above 7.
According to the above explanation, compound ammonia would be an alkaline compound.

Hope this helps :)
