Write a chemical equation depicting what happens to the sugar in water.

1 answer:

5 0

Assuming that you mean table sugar (sucrose), then at room temperature and without any catalyst, there is no reaction.

However if you elevate and hold the temperature of the aqueous solution at 50 to 60 °C (especially in the presence of a suitable catalyst, like mineral acid) the sucrose dimer will split into glucose and fructose. This is called hydrolysis and the resulting solution is called an invert sugar solution.

The reaction could be written as:

C12H22O11 (sucrose) + H2O (water) → C6H12O6 (glucose) + C6H12O6 (fructose)

or

C12H22O11 (aq) + H2O (l) → C6H12O6 (aq) + C6H12O6 (aq)

Notice that both of the produced sugars have the same empirical formula. Check with your instructor or in your textbook to see if more exact formulas are needed.

How much water would be needed to completely dissolve 1.52 L of the gas at a pressure of 730 torr and a temperature of 21 ∘C?

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.4 L.

Explanation:

The mentioned question can be solved by using the equation,

C = K × Pgas--------(i)

Here K is the Henry law constant whose value is 0.158 mol/L/atm, C is the concentration of the gas in liquid state, and Pgas is the partial pressure of the gas.

Now to find the volume of water, the formula to be used is,

PV = nRT-----------(ii)

Here P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume, R is the universal gas constant whose value is 0.082 Latm/mol/K and T is the temperature.

PgasV = nRT

Pgas = nRT/Vgas

The value of Pgas is inserted in equation (i) we get,

C = K × nRT/Vgas

It is to be noted that C = n/V, here n is the no. of the moles and V is the volume of liquid.

n/Vliquid = K × nRT/Vgas

1/Vliquid = KRT/Vgas

Vliquid = Vgas/KRT--------------(iii)

Based on the given information, the volume of the gas is 1.52 L, the value of K is 0.158 mol/L/atm, the value of R is 0.082 Latm/mol/K and value of T is 21 degree C or 273 + 21 = 294 K.

Now putting the values in equation (iii) we get,

Vliquid = 1.52 L / 0.158 × 0.082 × 294

Vliquid = 1.52 / 3.809

Vliquid = 0.399 or 0.4 L

Hence, the volume of water required to dissolve 1.52 L of gas is 0.4 L.

Is it the power of material evidence that wins, not the authority of experts that

kvasek [131]

Yes, it is the power of material evidence that wins.

Evidence used to support or refute a scientific theory or hypothesis is known as material evidence.
Evidence is also used by scientists in various contexts, such as when they apply ideas to real-world issues.
Whether a person accepts the data as proof depends on their presumptions or views regarding how observations relate to a theory.
A creative hypothesis is developed by a scientist and may be refuted by testing it against evidence or established truths.
Evidence can refute a hypothesis by demonstrating facts that are at odds with it. In contrast, the presence of evidence does not preclude the possibility of future, undiscovered evidence supporting the idea.

Therefore, it is the power of material evidence that wins, not the authority of experts that

proves an answer in Science.
