Relative formula mass of glucose? (C6H12O6)

Rom4ik [11]

To find the mass of glucose, you must multiply the atomic weight of each of the elements in the molecule by the subscripts in the formula:

$C_{6}=6*(12.01g)=72.06g$

$H_{12}=12*(1.008g)=12.096g$

$O_{6}=6*(15.999g)=95.994g$

Then you add all of them together:

$72.06g+12.096g+95.994g=180.15g$

Therefore, the molar weight of glucose is 180.15 grams.

What additional tests would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen?

Gemiola [76]

The question above is incomplete, the full question is given below:
What additional test would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen in the activity series of the following elements: magnesium, zinc, lead, copper and silver.

ANSWER
The position of hydrogen on a reactivity series can be determined by its ability to displace oxygen from the oxide of the metal concerned. If hydrogen is more reactive than a metal, it will displace oxygen from the metal oxide and reduce the metal oxide to its metal. If the metal is more reactive than hydrogen, hydrogen will not be able to reduce the metal oxide to its metal.

Which statement correctly explains how magnesium and chlorine combine to form magnesium chloride?

AysviL [449]

You did not include the statements but since magnesium chloride is ionic substance that we know that magnesium and chlorine formed an ionic bond. Therefore your statement most likely will talk about how one magnesium atom gave up 2 electrons while two chlorine atoms took 1 electron. The reaction looks like Mg+2Cl⇒MgCl₂.
I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

21. Apply Concepts Classify each reaction and balance the

adell [148]

The reactions are in order which includes combustion reaction, Hydration reaction, oxidation reaction, and displacement reaction.

a) A combustion reaction is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant where heat is released. The combustion reaction example is given below. It is a balanced chemical reaction.

2C₃H₆(g) + 9O₂(g) --------> 6CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)

b. A hydration reaction is a chemical reaction in which a molecule of water is added to another molecule. Here Aluminum oxide is added to water to form aluminum hydroxide.

4Al₂O3(s) + 6H₂O(l)------> 2Al(OH)3(s)

c. When a metal reacts with oxygen, the metal forms an oxide. Oxide is a compound of metal and oxygen. Here lithium metal reacts with oxygen to form lithium oxide.

2Li(s) + O₂(g)-----> Li₂O(s)

d. A displacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from a compound. Here Zinc is more reactive than silver, so silver was displaced to form Zinc Nitrate.

Zn(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq) -----> 2Ag(s) + Zn(NO₃)₂(aq)
