Answer:

Mass on the moon is 5.1 kg.

Explanation:

Given mass on earth = 5.1 kg

acceleration due to gravity on moon = 1.6 ms⁻².

The mass on the moon does not change because mass is the quantity of matter in the body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.

Whereas the weight of the object changed.

Weight is the the force exerted on a body which is related to mass and expressed as W = mg.

W = weight of object m = mass of object and g = gravitational force

$So\ in\ this\ case\ W\ =1.6\times\ 5.1\ =8.16N$

N stands for newton unit of weight.

Thus mass of the object on moon is same as on earth which is 5.1 kg.

Complete the equation for the conversion of sucrose into glucose <br> (1)C12H22O11 + H2O

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + H₂O → C₅H₁₂O₆ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + H₂O → C₅H₁₂O₆ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Source of sucrose:

Sucrose is present in roots of plants and also in fruits. It is storage form of energy. Some insects and bacteria use sucrose as main food. Best example is honeybee which collect sucrose and convert it into honey.

Monomers of sucrose and hydrolysis:

Sucrose consist of monomers glucose and fructose which are join together through glycosidic bond. Hydrolysis break the sucrose molecule into glucose and fructose. In hydrolysis glycosidic bond is break which convert the sucrose into glucose and fructose. Hydrolysis is slow process but this reaction is catalyze by enzyme. The enzyme invertase catalyze this reaction.

The given reaction also completely follow the law of conservation of mass. There are equal number of atoms of elements on both side of chemical equation thus mass remain conserved.
