Squeezing just the juices out of the orange, like with your hand or whatever you use, is a physical change. yes :)

This would be a physical change because despite the fact the juice has been squeezed out of it, the orange is still an orange. A physical change is when something changes matter, like a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a gas. Since it's been changed from a solid orange to liquid juice, it's a physical change.

Hope I helped! :)

Consider the following unbalanced chemical equation. C5H12(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l) If 21.9 grams of pentane (C5H12) are bur

Marina CMI [18]

Answer : The mass of water produced will be 32.78 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $C_5H_{12}$ = 21.9 g

Molar mass of $C_5H_{12}$ = 72.15 g/mole

Molar mass of $H_2O$ = 18 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of $C_5H_{12}$ .

$\text{Moles of }C_5H_{12}=\frac{\text{Mass of }C_5H_{12}}{\text{Molar mass of }C_5H_{12}}=\frac{21.9g}{72.15g/mole}=0.3035moles$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $H_2O$ .

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$C_5H_{12}(l)+8O_2(g)\rightarrow 5CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l)$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of $C_5H_{12}$ react to give 6 moles of $H_2O$

So, 0.3035 moles of $C_5H_{12}$ react to give $0.3035\times 6=1.821$ moles of $H_2O$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $H_2O$ .

$\text{Mass of }H_2O=\text{Moles of }H_2O\times \text{Molar mass of }H_2O$

$\text{Mass of }H_2O=(1.821mole)\times (18g/mole)=32.78g$

Therefore, the mass of water produced will be 32.78 grams.

What substance takes part in an enzymatic reaction, but is unchanged by the reaction?

Ierofanga [76]

The answer to this question would be: enzyme

<span>Enzyme is a kind of catalyst that </span>will take part in the chemical reaction but it won't be reacted. E<span>nzyme </span>only helps by reducing the energy needed to start the reaction.
Theoretically, the enzyme is not mandatory needed but if you have an enzyme the reaction will be easier, thus increasing reaction speed. But in most case, the reaction might be too slow without enzyme, making enzyme vital in living organism.

A sample of a compound contains 0.300 mol of carbon and 1.20 mol of hydrogen. What is the empirical formula of the comp

Margarita [4]

Answer:

CH4

Explanation:

The number of moles of carbon and hydrogen has been given as follows:

C = 0.300 mol

H = 1.20 mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (0.300)

C = 0.300 ÷ 0.300 = 1

H = 1.20 ÷ 0.300 = 4

The empirical ratio of Carbon and Hydrogen is 1:4, hence, the empirical formula is CH4

What is the net ionic equation of the reaction of MgSO4 with Pb(NO3)2?

NemiM [27]

Hey there!:

Write the molecular equation for the reaction of MgSO4 with Pb(NO3)2 :

MgSO4(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) ---> Mg(NO3)2(aq) + PbSO4(s)

Write the total ionic equation for the reaction :

Mg²⁺ (aq) + SO₄⁻² (aq) + Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2 NO₃⁻¹ (aq) + PbSO₄(s)

Therefore:

Cancel the spectator ions on both sides:

Pb²⁺ (aq) + SO₄⁻² (aq) ---> PbSO4(s)

Hope that helps!
