The answer would be: <span> vinegar (acetic acid).

To dissolve deposit that calcified, you need to dissolve the calcium. Calcium is one of the metal that makes base pH. It will react with acid compound and produce a molecule of water. Ammonia, bleach, lye </span><span>, and baking soda are all base and won't react with the </span><span>calcium carbonate. Vinegar is acid and will react to it.

Hello!

Vinegar would be most effective in dissolving the deposits of Hard Water.

Vinegar (CH₃COOH) is a weak acid, while Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃), being the salt of a weak acid, will be a weak base. These two compounds will react together in the following way:

2CH₃COOH + CaCO₃ → (CH₃COO)₂Ca + H₂CO₃

H₂CO₃ reacts further to yield Water and CO₂

H₂CO₃ → H₂O + CO₂(g)

So, vinegar would be effective at dissolving CaCO₃, and we should see bubbles as a proof that a reaction has occurred.

Have a nice day!

Please select the most appropriate answer for the blank: Entropy change is defined only along the path of a(n) ___________ proce
Whitepunk [10]

Entropy change is defined only along the path of an internally reversible process path.

<h3><u>What is Entropy Change </u>?</h3>
  • Entropy is a measure of a thermodynamic system's overall level of disorder or non-uniformity. The thermal energy that a system was unable to use to perform work is known as entropy.
  • Entropy Change is a phenomena that measures how disorder or randomness have changed inside a thermodynamic system.
  • It has to do with how heat or enthalpy is converted during work. More unpredictability in a thermodynamic system indicates high entropy.
  • Entropy is a state function, hence it is independent of the direction that the thermodynamic process takes.
  • The rearranging of atoms and molecules from their initial state causes the change in entropy.
  • This may result in a decrease or rise in the system's disorder or unpredictability, which will, in turn, result in a corresponding drop or increase in entropy.

You have 55 grams of glucose(C6H12O6). How many grams of oxygen do you have?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Mass of oxygen in glucose = 29.3g

Explanation:

Mass of glucose given is 55grams.

We are to find the mass of oxygen in this compound.

In the compound we have 6 atoms of oxygen.

Solution

To find the mass of oxygen in glucose, we calculate the formula mass of glucose. We now divide the formula mass of the oxygen atom with that of the glucose and multiply by the given mass to find the unkown mass.

Atomic mass of C = 12g

                           H = 1g

                           O = 16g

Formula mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = {(12x6) + (1x12) + (16x6)} = 180

             Mass of O in glucose = \frac{6x16}{180}  x 55

                                                  = \frac{96}{180} x 55

                                                  = 0.53 x 55

            Mass of oxygen in glucose = 29.3g
