Calculate the mass percentages of carbon hydrogen and oxygen in sucrose

Chemistry
1 answer:
True [87]3 years ago
3 0
The formula for sucrose is C12H22O11 with a molecular mass of approx 342g/mol
% mass of C = 12(12) / 342 × 100% = 42.1%
% mass of H = 22(1) / 342 × 100% = 6.43%
% mass of O = 11(16) / 342 ×100% = 51.5%

Combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane (_____) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's
____ [38]

Answer: Undecane, C11H24 is a liquid hydrocarbon from the alkane homologue ( family ).

Explanation:

All hydrocarbons burn in air to release H20 and CO2.

Combustion of hydrocarbons thus increases the percentage of CO2 present in the atmosphere which is not so good as CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases produce the greenhouse effect. The green house effect is the warming effect produced when gases present in the atmosphere allow and retain the radiation from the sun to the earth. Examples of greenhouse gases are CO2, CH4, SO3, NO, CFCs. The greenhouse effect leads to an increase in the temperature of the earth subsequently leading to (I) melting of large amounts of ice at the poles causing flooding. (II) rapid evaporation of water from Earth’s surface. (III) decrease in crop yield.

Also, high concentration CFCs ( chlorofluorocarbons ), as widely used in aerosols, coolants and packaging foams, in the atmosphere depletes the ozone layer leading to global warming. In 1996 an international agreement was reached for a complete ban of CFCs and more countries are now going Green ( using alternative energy sources ) so as to minimize emissions of these greenhouse gases

How does solubility differ between small versus large carbohydrates? Explain.
EleoNora [17]

Answer with Explanation:

Small and large carbohydrates have<em> diverse structural properties</em>. Such property allow them to have <u>different solubility.</u>

Solubility is a chemical property of a substance that allows it to dissolve in a given solvent.

Carbohydrates are made up of "monosaccharides." These are simple sugars and are considered small carbohydrates. On the contrary, "polysaccharide" is an example of a large carbohydrate.<em><u> Monosaccharides are soluble in water</u></em><em> </em>while<em><u> many polysaccharides are not soluble in water.</u></em>

The high solubility of monosaccharides is mainly due to the presence of hydroxide (OH) groups. These groups are always ready to bond with water (H₂O). Many polysaccharides are not soluble in water because of <em>intermolecular interactions</em> that prevents it from binding with water. Its dissolution process is different when compared to the smaller molecules.

So, this explains the answer.

A 112. 6 g mass of unknown material is submersed in 102 ml of water to yield a final volume of 126 ml. What is the apparent dens
skad [1K]

The density of the unknown material is 0.213 ml/g

<h3>Apparent density of the unknown material</h3>

The apparent density of the unknown material is calculated as follows;

Volume of the unknown substance = 126 ml - 102 ml = 24 ml

Density of the unknown substance = mass/volume

Density of the unknown substance =  24 ml / 112.6 g

Density of the unknown substance = 0.213 ml/g

Thus, the density of the unknown material is 0.213 ml/g
