Answer:

Cellulose is an organic compound with the formula , a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of β linked D-glucose units. Cellulose is an important structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants, many forms of algae and the oomycetes.

Answer:

Hope this helped.

Explanation:

Cellulose is a molecule, consisting of hundreds – and sometimes even thousands – of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Cellulose is the main substance in the walls of plant cells, helping plants to remain stiff and upright. Humans cannot digest cellulose, but it is important in the diet as fibre.

Which of the following solutes has the greatest effect on the colligative properties for a given mass of pure water? Explain.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Option a.

0.01 mol of CaCl₂ will have the greatest effect on the colligative properties, because it has the biggest i

Explanation:

To determine which of the solute is going to have a greatest effect on colligative properties we have to consider the Van't Hoff factor (i)

These are the colligative properties:

ΔP = P° . Xm . i  →  Lowering vapor pressure

ΔT = Kb . m . i  → Boiling point elevation

ΔT = Kf . m . i  →  Freezing point depression

π = M . R . T  →  Osmotic pressure

Van't Hoff factor are the numbers of ions dissolved in the solution. For nonelectrolytes, the i values 1.

CaCl₂ and KNO₃ are two ionic solutes. They dissociate as this:

CaCl₂  → Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

We have 1 mol of Ca²⁺ and 2 chlorides, so 3 moles of ions → i = 3

KNO₃ → K⁺ + NO₃⁻

We have 1 mol of K⁺ and 1 mol of nitrate, so 2 moles of ions → i = 2

Option a, is the best.

You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 5.31. You already have a solution that contains 10. mmol (millimoles) of
Karolina [17]

Answer:

37 mmol of acetate need to add to this solution.

Explanation:

Acetic acid is an weak acid. According to Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a buffer consist of weak acid (acetic acid) and its conjugate base (acetate)-

pH=pK_{a}(acetic acid)+log[\frac{mmol of CH_{3}COO^{-}}{mmol of CH_{3}COOH }]

Here pH is 5.31, pK_{a} (acetic acid) is 4.74 and number of mmol of acetic acid is 10 mmol.

Plug in all the values in the above equation:

5.31=4.74+log[\frac{mmol of CH_{3}COO^{-}}{10}]

or, mmol of CH_{3}COO^{-} = 37

So 37 mmol of acetate need to add to this solution.

A cylinder is filled with 10.0L of gas and a piston is put into it. The initial pressure of the gas is measured to be 209.kPa. T
disa [49]

Answer : The final pressure of the gas will be, 26.8 kPa

Explanation :

According to the Boyle's law, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature of the gas and the number of moles of gas.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

or,

PV=k

or,

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of the gas = 209 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of the gas = ?

V_1 = initial volume of the gas = 10.0 L

V_2 = final volume of the gas = 78.0 L

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the final pressure of the gas.

209kPa\times 10.0L=P_2\times 78.0L

P_2=26.8kPa

Therefore, the final pressure of the gas will be, 26.8 kPa
