<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Two glucose molecules

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Maltose is a disaccharide that is made up of two glucose molecules joined with an alpha(1-4) bond.
<em><u>Maltose is produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch, a polysaccharide, catalyzed by the enzyme amylase. Maltose is then hydrolyzed by the enzyme maltase to produce two molecules of d-glucose.</u></em>
<em><u>The enzyme maltase efficiently catalyses the hydrolysis of maltose into 2 glucose molecules. </u></em>

Compare the mass of the Mg ribbon with the mass of the magnesium oxide. Notice that the the mass of the magnesium oxide is great

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Magnesium oxide is a binary compound of magnesium and oxygen while magnesium ribbon consists only of magnesium atoms.

Explanation:

The burning of magnesium in oxygen is a chemical change. It produces magnesium oxide having greater mass than magnesium ribbon. The greater mass results from the fact that the chemical reaction has added another element to the sample- oxygen. The mass of magnesium ribbon is the mass of magnesium atoms alone but in magnesium oxide, we consider the masses of magnesium and oxygen atoms making magnesium oxide heavier than magnesium ribbon.

An excess of oxygen reacts with 451.4 g of lead, forming 374.7 g of lead(II) oxide. Calculate the percent yield of the reaction.

Stels [109]

Answer: The percent yield of the reaction is 77.0 %

Explanation:

$2Pb+O_2\rightarrow 2PbO$

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

$\text{Number of moles of lead}=\frac{451.4g}{207.2g/mol}=2.18moles$

$\text{Number of moles of lead oxide}=\frac{374.7g}{223.2g/mol}=1.68moles$

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of $Pb$ produces = 2 moles of $PbO_2$

2.18 moles of $Pb$ is produced by= $\frac{2}{2}\times 2.18=2.18moles$ of $PbO_2$

Mass of $PbO_2$ = $moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2.18\times 223.2g/mol=486.6$

percent yield = $\frac{374.7g}{486.6g}\times 100=77.0\%$

What are the chemical properties of beryllium phosphide??

o-na [289]

Answer:

Forms ionic bonds, insoluble, doesn't participate in single or double displacement reactions, non-reactive, high heat of combustion

Explanation:

Beryllium is a metal, since it belongs to group 2A, the alkaline earth metals. It has a total of 2 valence electrons.

Phosphorus, on the other hand, belongs to group 5A and has a total of 5 valence electrons.

We have a compound which has a metal in it, therefore, it's an ionic compound. Beryllium, our metal, loses its 2 electrons to gain an octet and phosphorus, our nonmetal, should gain 3 electrons to have an octet. The oxidation states are +2 and -3 respectively. This means we need 3 beryllium cations and 2 phosphide anions in our formula $Be_3P_2$ .

Beryllium phosphide would be expected to be insoluble, as only beryllium chloride, fluoride, nitrate, phosphate and sulfate are soluble substances, while the remaining ones are expected to be insoluble.

Due to its insolubility, beryllium phosphide would not participate in any ionic reactions, such as single displacement or double displacement.

Since it's insoluble, we expect this compound to be chemically stable and not reactive. This implies that if we wanted to burn it, the heat of combustion would be very high, as a lot of energy would be needed to be supplied in an endothermic reaction in order to burn it.

What happens to a glass of water as the average molecular kinetic energy of the water molecules increases?

trasher [3.6K]

"The water becomes warmer."
<u>Remember</u>: Kinetic energy means how much, on average, a molecule is moving around. This is directly translated into heat. Therefore, the higher the kinetic energy, the more heat produced.
