What mass of carbon is present in 1.4*x10^20 molecules of sucrose?

1 answer:

4 0

No of moles of Carbon, C = mass/ molar mass.
Molar mass of carbon = 12.0107. We only have to calculate the no of moles
of carbon to obtain carbon's mass. .
From Sucrose chemical formula C12H22O11 we know that there are 12
carbon atoms.
So there are 1.4x10^(20) x12 = 16.8 x 10^20 carbon atoms.
We will use avogardo's number to find out the number of carbon molecules
in the compound.
From Avogadro's no. One mole of any substance equals to 6.022140857
atoms.

So X mole contains 16.8 * 10^(20) carbon atom
(16.8x10^20 carbon atoms)/6.022 x10^23 particles/mol = 0.00279 mols
The molar mass of carbon is 12.0107g/mol so we'll multiply to get the mass:
0.00279 mols x 12 = 0.03348.

To determine the concentration of a sample of calcium hydroxide, 1.45M HCl is added drop-wise using a burst. Write the balanced

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) —> H2O(l)

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction.

2HCl(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) —> CaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Ca(OH)2 is a strong base and will dissociates as follow:

Ca(OH)2(aq) —> Ca^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq)

HCl is a strong acid and will dissociates as follow:

HCl(aq) —> H^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq)

Thus, In solution a double displacement reaction occurs as shown below:

2H^+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + Ca^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) —> Ca^2+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + 2H2O(l)

To get the net ionic equation, cancel out Ca^2+ and 2Cl^-

2H^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) —> 2H2O(l)

H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) —> H2O(l)

Hello!
I believe it is called Condensation

Condensation is when the water vapor (gas) in the air turns into a liquid. (Like the fog on a mirror after you take a hot shower)
