Tree sap is a viscoelastic polymer, which means it's not really a solid but a very viscous (sticky) fluid. It's fluidity ensures that it can properly <span>seal the spaces between the planks on wooden boats. Not only that, the pitch sap is hydrophobic - it is water resistant as well. </span>

If 97.7 ml of silver nitrate solution reacts with excess potassium chloride solution to yield 0.326 g of precipitate, what is th
BlackZzzverrR [31]

The complete balanced chemical reaction is written as:

AgNO3 + KCl ---> AgCl + KNO3 

where AgCl is our precipitate

 

So calculating for moles of AgCl produced: MM AgCl = 143.5 g/mol

moles AgCl = 0.326 g / (143.5 g/mol) = 2.27 x 10^-3 mol

we see that there is 1 mole of Ag per 1 mole of AgCl so:

moles Ag = 2.27 x 10^-3 mol

 

The molarity is simply the ratio of number of moles over volume in Liters, therefore:

Molarity = 2.27 x 10^-3 mol / 0.0977 L

<span>Molarity = 0.0233 M</span>

Can you substitute evaporated milk for condensed milk
alex41 [277]
Yes because condensed milk and evaporated milk are similar to one another. However, there won’t be the same sweet flavor but the texture is the same.

In yeast, ethanol is produced from glucose under anaerobic conditions. A cell‑free yeast extract is placed in a solution that co
nadezda [96]

Answer:

0.35 milli moles of ethanol can be theoretically be produced under these conditions.

Explanation:

C_6H_{12}O_6 + 2 ADP + 2 Pi\rightarrow 2 C_2H_5OH + 2 ATP + 2 CO_2

Moles of glucose = 3.50\times 10^2 milli mole

Moles of ADP = 0.35 milli mole

Moles of Pi = 0.35 milli mole

Moles of ATP = 0.70 milli mole

As we can see that ADP and Pi are in limiting amount which means tat they are limiting reagent. So, the moles of ethanol produced will depend upon the moles of ADP and Pi.

According to reaction, 2 moles of ADP gives 2 moles of glucose.

Then 0.35 milli moles of ADp will give :

\frac{2}{2}\times 0.35 mmol=0.35 mmol of ethanol

0.35 milli moles of ethanol can be theoretically be produced under these conditions.

In the following net ionic equation, identify each reactant as either a Bronsted-Lowry acid or a Bronsted-Lowry base.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Bronsted lowry base = Proton acceptor = H2O

Bronsted lowry acid = Proton donor = HF-

Explanation:

The equation is given as;

HF-(aq) + H2O(l) --> F-(aq) + H3O(aq)

A bronsted lowry base is any specie that can accept hydrogen ion (proton) from another molecule.

Basically a bronsted lowry base is  a proton acceptor while a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor.

In the reaction above, upon comparing both the reactants and products;

Bronsted lowry base = Proton acceptor = H2O

Bronsted lowry acid = Proton donor = HF-
