The combustion of carbohydrates and the combustion of fats are both exothermic processes, yet the combustion of carbohydrates is

a faster process. How can this be?
Chemistry

Julli [10]4 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

There are two aspects of a reaction:

Thermodynamics:

Combustion of the compound is reaction with oxygen.

The carbohydrates contain more content of oxygen as compared to fats.

Hence, carbohydrates have lot of oxygen content which are already partially oxidized as compared to fats. Hence, combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

Kinetics:

The molecular reacts also shows that the combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

-FeS2+-O2->-Fe2O3+-SO2 What coefficient should be placed in front of SO2 to balance the equation?
NISA [10]

Answer:

8 should be placed in front of SO₂.

Explanation:

The easiest way to solve this question is by writing the <u>entire</u> balanced equation:

4FeS₂ + 11O₂ -> 2Fe₂O₃ + 8SO₂

We can achieve this by first balancing the Fe, then S, and finally the O.

We can also double check our answer by counting the number of each element on both sides:

-Reactants: 4 Fe, 8 S, 22 O

-Products: 4 Fe 8 S, 22 O

Since they match, our equation is balanced, and the coefficient in front of SO₂ is 8.

Compare a crystal lattice with a molecule. What does the formula unit Al(OH)3 tell you about the compound aluminum hydroxide?
olasank [31]
Molecules are made up by chemically bonding two or more atoms of the same element or different elements, they don’t have charge, and the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds. <span>Lattices have a three- dimensional ordered arrangement of basic units (that can be an atom, molecule or an ion). Lattices are crystalline structures with these repeated basic units. When ions joined with ionic bonds, they form ionic crystals. The formula unit tells us that aluminium hydroxide has a crystal structure made from molecules. </span>

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

DISADVANTAGES OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION

The cost of development: Electronic communication requires huge investment for infrastructural development. Frequent change in technology also demands further investment. Legal status: Data or information, if faxed, may be distorted and will cause zero value in the eye of law.

There are eight diastereomers of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane. One of them is drawn. Draw the other seven in the cyclohexan
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Attached below diagram of the eight diastereomers

The Isomer that reacts so slowly is DIASTEREOMER 8

Explanation:

The Isomer that reacts so slowly is DIASTEREOMER 8 in an E2 reaction and this is because no pair of chlorine and hydrogen atoms can assume the anti-periplanar orientation that is preferred in an E2 elimination

attached below is Diagram of the eight diastereomers ( screen shot from my drawing tool )
