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 .

What is the balanced form of the following equation?. Br2 + S2O32– + H2O → Br1– + SO42– + H+.
zloy xaker [14]
For the equation to be balanced, the Atom's coefficient on the left side and the right side of the equation has to be equal

so, the answer would be : 

Br2 + S2032- + 5H20 -- >  BR2- + 2S02- + H+

Hope this helps

A mixture of helium, nitrogen and oxygen has a total pressure of 821 mmHg. The partial pressure of helium is 105 mmHg, and the p
skad [1K]

Answer:

Total partial pressure, Pt = 821 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Helium, P1 = 105 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Nitrogen, P2 = 312 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Oxygen, P3 = ? mm Hg

According to Dalton's law of Partial pressures,

Pt = P1 + P2 + P3

So, <u>P3 = 404 mm Hg</u>

A cylindrical glass tube of length 27.4cm and radius 4 cm is filled with gas. The empty tube has a mass of 254.3 g. The tube fil
Temka [501]

Density of the gas is 3.05 × 10⁻³ g / cm³.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Volume of the cylinder = π r² h

where r is the radius and h is the height of the height or the length of the glass tube.

Here r = 4 cm and h = 27.4 cm

Volume of the cylinder = 3.14 × 4 × 4 × 27.4 = 1376.6 cm³

We have to find the mass of the gas by subtracting the mass of the tube filled with the substance from the mass of the empty tube.

Mass of the substance = 258.5 - 254.3 = 4.2 g

We have to find the density using the formula as,

$ Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Plugin the values as,

$ Density = \frac{4.2}{1376.6}

              = 3.05 × 10⁻³ g / cm³

So the Density of the gas is 3.05 × 10⁻³ g / cm³.
