Answer:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + H₂O → C₅H₁₂O₆ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + H₂O → C₅H₁₂O₆ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Source of sucrose:

Sucrose is present in roots of plants and also in fruits. It is storage form of energy. Some insects and bacteria use sucrose as main food. Best example is honeybee which collect sucrose and convert it into honey.

Monomers of sucrose and hydrolysis:

Sucrose consist of monomers glucose and fructose which are join together through glycosidic bond. Hydrolysis break the sucrose molecule into glucose and fructose. In hydrolysis glycosidic bond is break which convert the sucrose into glucose and fructose. Hydrolysis is slow process but this reaction is catalyze by enzyme. The enzyme invertase catalyze this reaction.

The given reaction also completely follow the law of conservation of mass. There are equal number of atoms of elements on both side of chemical equation thus mass remain conserved.

If element A is in Group 13 and element B is in Group 17, which ions will be formed when A and B react together?

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

A3+ and B-

Explanation:

Elements in group 13 have outermost electron configuration, ns2np1 hence they form trivalent positive ions.

Elements in group 17 have outermost electron configuration ns2np5 hence they form univalent negative ions.

This implies that, if element A is in Group 13 and element B is in Group 17, the ions formed are A3+ and B-.

A 13 g sample of P4010 contains how many

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{5.5 \times 10^{22}\text{ molecules of P$_{2}$O}_{5}}$

Explanation:

You must calculate the moles of P₄O₁₀, convert to moles of P₂O₅, then convert to molecules of P₂O₅.

1. Moles of P₄O₁₀

$\text{Moles of P$_{4}$O}_{10} = \text{13 g P$_{4}$O}_{10} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol P$_{4}$O}_{10}}{\text{283.89 g P$_{4}$O}_{10}} = \text{0.0458 mol P$_{4}$O}_{10}$

2. Moles of P₂O₅

P₄O₁₀ ⟶ 2P₂O₅

The molar ratio is 2 mol P₂O₅:1 mol P₄O₁₀

$\text{Moles of P$_{2}$O}_{5} = \text{0.0458 mol P$_{4}$O}_{10} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol P$_{2}$O}_{5}}{\text{1 mol P$_{4}$O}_{10}} = \text{0.0916 mol P$_{2}$O}_{5}$

3. Molecules of P₂O₅

$\text{No. of molecules} = \text{0.0916 mol P$_{2}$O}_{5} \times \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules P$_{2}$O}_{5}}{\text{1 mol P$_{2}$O}_{5}}\\\\= \mathbf{5.5 \times 10^{22}}\textbf{ molecules P$_{2}$O}_{5}\\\text{There are $\large \boxed{\mathbf{5.5 \times 10^{22}}\textbf{ molecules of P$_{2}$O}_{5}}$}$

The weights of all elements are always compared to oxygen.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12.

Explanation:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12 because the mass of carbon is 12 which is the exactly the sum of protons and neutrons.

Oxygen was also considered the standard for some time but later this stander was rejected because in natural O¹⁷ and O¹⁸ were also present and this create the two different atomic mass tables.

AMU:

Atomic mass unit is define as the 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

C12 has six neutron and six protons in the nucleus.

This unit is used to express the masses of atoms. We know that masses of atoms are very small and we do not have any such type of balance that can measure very small quantity. So that is way we use this scale to measure small quantity. For example, according to this scale

relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu

relative atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu

relative atomic mass of uranium is 238.0289 amu

relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 amu
