The combustion of carbohydrates and the combustion of fats are both exothermic processes, yet the combustion of carbohydrates is

a faster process. How can this be? Answer in detail please, Thanks.

4 0

Explanation:

Combustion of a compound is the reaction with oxygen , hence , the process of combustion is an oxidation reaction.

The carbohydrates contain more amount of oxygen as compared to the fats ,

Hence ,

carbohydrates , have a lot of oxygen contents , are are already partially oxidized , but fats have lower oxygen content .

Therefore ,

The partially oxidized carbohydrates are very difficult to oxidized in comparison to fats .

The mole fraction of NaCl in an
posledela

The weight/weight percent(%w/w) of NaCl in  solution : 33.03%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Mole fraction of NaCl : 0.132

Required

The weight/weight percent of NaCl

Solution

1 mol solution : 0.132 mol NaCl + 0.868 mol H₂O

mass NaCl :

\tt 0.132\times 58.44 g/mol=7.714~g

mass H₂O :

\tt 0.868\times 18.016~g/mol=15.64~g

Total mass = 7.714 + 15.64 = 23.354 g

\tt \%NaCl=\dfrac{7.714}{23.354}\times 100\%=33.03\%

Arrange the liquids pentane (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3), pentanol (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH), and pentanal (CH3CH2CH2CH2CHO) in order of decreasi
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

These properties are governed by intermolecular forces. The most important part here is the oxygen interaction with the surroundings. For temperature the decreasing order is pentanol, pentanal and pentane. For viscocity: pentanol, pentanal and pentane. For surface tension: pentanol, pentanal and pentane.

This order, as said before, is due to the interaction of oxygen with the surroundings, within the intermolecular forces we can find van der waals forces and hydrogen bonds, it is also know that H-bonds are stronger than van der waals forces so then that is why we have this type of interactions.

What is an absolute zero of a temperature ​
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Absolute zero temperature: Absolute zero is the temperature at which a substance have very low internal energy or in other words no heat energy in the particle.

Explanation: The temperature is very low and the particles are very cold. On cooling, speed of particle decrease. On the Celsius scale, - 273.15 is the absolute zero and on the Kelvin scale, 0 k is the absolute zero. On absolute zero temperature, the movement in the particles occurs at very low speed near to zero.
