Julli [10]3 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.

All of the following elements will form ions by gaining
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Magnesium

Explanation:

When an atom loses are gain the electrons ions are formed.

There are two types of ions.

Anion

Cation

1 = Anion

It is formed when an atom gain the electrons. when atom gain electron negative charge is created on atom. For example.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

2= Cation

It is formed when an atom loses the electrons. when atom lose electron positive charge is created on atom. For example.

X → X⁺ + e⁻

There are seven valance electrons in iodine. To complete the octet it gain one electron and form anion.

Sulfur has six valance electrons it gain two electrons to complete the octet and form anion.

Phosphorus has five valance electrons it gain three electrons two complete the octet and form anion.

Magnesium has two valance electrons it loses two electron to complete the octet and form cation.

How many grams of glucose, C6H12O6, in 2.47 mole?
statuscvo [17]
First, we need to find the atomic mass of C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}.

According to the periodic table:
The atomic mass of Carbon = C = 12.01
The atomic mass of Hydrogen = H = 1.008
The atomic mass of Oxygen = O = 16

As there are 6 Carbons, 12 Hydrogens and 6 Oxygens, therefore:
The molar mass of  C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} = 6 * 12.01 + 12 * 1.008 + 6 * 16

The molar mass of  C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} = 180.156 grams/mole

Now that we have the molar mass of  C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}, we can find the grams of glucose by using:

mass(of glucose in grams) = moles(of glucose given in moles) * molar mass(in grams/mole)

Therefore,
mass(of glucose in grams) = 2.47 * 180.156
mass(of glucose in grams = 444.99 grams

Ans: Mass of glucose in grams in 2.47 moles = 444.99 grams

shusha [124]
The role of the carbon dioxide in water is that it has the ability to form an acid in which it has the capacity to react  with underground limestones deposits. If it is able to react with the limestone, then it will most likely produce a substance that can be water-soluble.
