<span>Starch and cellulose have the same substance but different structures. They are both polysaccharides. The basic unit of a polysaccharide is the glucose. Glucose, which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, have two forms. The alpha-glucose with an alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is down and the beta-glucose with the alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is up. Starch is the alpha-glucose while cellulose is the beta-glucose. Starches are linked into a straight chain whereas the cellulose are connected like a pile of stack paper. When the human body eats starch, it can digest the starch but not the cellulose because it has no enzyme that can break it down. </span>

A liquid has a volume of 0.0088 L. Convert this volume to cubic centimeters.
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

8.8 cm³

Explanation:

Data given:

volume of Liquid = 0.0088 L

convert volume to Cubic centimeters

Solution:

There are number of unit in which volume can be measured

As

Liter is unit of volume represented by L

Cubic centimeters represented by cm³

liter is larger value then cm³

Now to convert L to cm³

As we Know

1 L = 1000 cm³

So

Apply unity formula

           1 L = 1000 cm³

           0.0088 L = x cm³

Do Cross multiplication

            x cm³ = 0.0088 L x 1000 cm³ /  1 L

            x cm³ = 8.8 L.cm³ /  1 L

            x cm³ = 8.8 cm³

So,

0.0088 L of liquid = 8.8 cm³

What is the pH of a solution of KOH with a hydroxide concentration of [OH⁻] = 1.10 x 10⁻⁴
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

p[H+] = 10.042

Explanation:

As we know that

pKw = pH + pOH......eq (1)

we will calculate the pH of OH- and then we will calculate the pH of H+

So p[OH-] = - log [1.10 * 10^{-4}]

Solving the right side of the equation, we get

p[OH-]

= - [-3.958]\\= 3.958

Now we know that

pKw = 14.0

Substituting the value of pOH in the above equation, we get -

14.0 = p[H+] + 3.958\\p[H+] = 14 - 3.958\\p[H+] = 10.042
