Water is denser than oil. When frozen, the oil sinks to the bottom. Why?

Chemistry
1 answer:
sammy [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: When water freezes it gets larger and becomes a solid but it still weighs the same as when it was a liquid form. When it becomes larger it takes up space but makes it less dense. Ok so getting to the point- oil unlike water becomes more dense when frozen so this is why oil sinks in water. Sorry if this was confusing but I hope it helped have a great day and god bless you :3

The molar mass of blood sugar, C6H12O6 also known as glucose and dextrose is
KIM [24]
The molar mass is calculated by looking up the relative atomic mass values on a periodic table. The relative atomic mass is a value without units that is calculated on a Carbon-12 scale.

By looking at the periodic table (values will be to 3 significant figures [<em>2</em><em> for hydrogen though]</em>):
Molar mass (M) of 1 mole of Carbon = 12.0 g/mol
Molar mass (M) of 1 mole of Hydrogen = 1.0 g/mol
Molar mass (M) of 1 mole of Oxygen = 16.0 g/mol

So the molar mass is essentially the relative atomic mass (RAM), but molar mass has a unit, but RAM doesn't (it is a ratio).

Given the formula is C6H12O6 (without putting the numbers as subscripts), we can calculate as follows:
M (C6H12O6) = (6 x 12.0) + (12 x 1.0) + (6 x 16.0)
                       = 72.0 + 12.0 + 96.0
                       = 180.0 g/mol

Hope it's right :D

How sulphuric acid react with Glucose ? Give reaction​
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Concentrated sulfuric acid can perform a dehydration reaction with table sugar. After mixing, the color changes from white to brownish and eventually to black. The expansion of the mixture is the result of vaporization of water and CO2 inside the container.
