The concentration of sugar in a soft drink is measured to be 10.5%. how many grams of sugar are in 125 g of the drink?

1 answer:

5 0

The grams of the sugar in 125 g of the drink is calculated as below

%M/m) = mass of the solute (sugar)/ mass of the solvent(drink) x100

let the mass of the solute(sugar) be represented by y

convert % into fraction by dividing by 100 = 10.5/100

10.5/100 = y/125

by cross multiplication

100y =1312.5
divide both side by 100

y=13.125 grams

If 40.0 mL of a calcium nitrate solution reacts with excess potassium carbonate to yield 0.524 grams of a precipitate, what is t

tankabanditka [31]

Answer : The molarity of calcium ion on the original solution is, 0.131 M

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$Ca(NO_3)_2+K_2CO_3\rightarrow CaCO_3+3KNO_3$

When calcium nitrate react with potassium carbonate to give calcium carbonate as a precipitate and potassium nitrate.

First we have to calculate the moles of $CaCO_3$

$\text{Moles of }CaCO_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }CaCO_3}{\text{Molar mass of }CaCO_3}$

Given:

Mass of $CaCO_3$ = 0.524 g

Molar mass of $CaCO_3$ = 100 g/mol

$\text{Moles of }CaCO_3=\frac{0.524}{100g/mol}=0.00524mol$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $CaCO_3$

$\text{Concentration of }CaCO_3=\frac{\text{Moles of }CaCO_3}{\text{Volume of solution}}=\frac{0.00524mol}{0.040L}=0.131M$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of calcium ion.

As, calcium carbonate dissociate to give calcium ion and carbonate ion.

$CaCO_3\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+CO_3^{2-}$

So,

Concentration of calcium ion = Concentration of $CaCO_3$ = 0.131 M

Thus, the concentration or molarity of calcium ion on the original solution is, 0.131 M

What is the volume of an irregular object if the initial volume in the graduated cylinder is 3.50 ml and it rises to 7.50 ml aft

Margarita [4]

Answer is: the volume of an irregular object is 4,00 ml.
<span>Volume is the amount of space the object occupies and can be finded immersing it in water in a container with volume markings and than see how much the level of the container changes (goes up).
</span>V(irregular object) = V(final volume) - V(initial volume).
V(irregular object) = 7,50 ml - 3,50 ml.
V(irregular object) = 4,00 ml.

Acetic acid and ethanol react to form ethyl acetate and water, like this:

ladessa [460]

Answer:

1.) Option C is correct.

The rate of reverse reaction is greater than zero, but equal to the rate of the forward reaction.

2) Option B is correct.

The rate of reverse reaction is Greater than zero, but less than the rate of the forward reaction.

3) Option C is correct.

The rate of reverse reaction is Greater than zero, and equal to the rate of the forward reaction.

4) Option A is correct.

How much less C2H5CO2CH3 is in the flask when the system has again reached equilibrium? Zero.

Explanation:

HCH,CO2(aq) + C2H5OH(aq) ⇌ C2H,CO2CH3(aq) + H2O

1) Before the main product is removed from the reaction setup, the chemical reaction is at equilibrium.

Chemical equilibrium is a state of dynamic equilibrium such that the concentration of the reactants and the products do not always remain the same but the rate of forward reaction always matches the rate of backward reaction.

2) When 246. mmol of C2HCO2CH3 are removed from the reaction mixture....

And when one of the factors involved in chemical equilibrium changes, Le Chatellier's principle explains that the system then adjusts to remedy this change and takes time to go back to equilibrium again.

When one of the species involved in the chemical reaction at equilibrium, is removed from the reaction mixture, the rate of reaction begins to favour that side of the reaction until equilibrium is re-established.

So, when 246 mmol of one of the products is removed, the response is to cause the rate of forward reaction to be favoured to produce more of products as there are fewer, and the rate of reverse reaction at this moment becomes less than the rate of forward reaction.

3) The rate of the reverse reaction when the system has again reached equilibrium

Like I said in (2) above, the reaction remedies this change in concentration of one of the products until equilibrium is re-established and when chemical equilibrium is re-established the rate of forward reaction once again matches the rate of backward reaction.

4) How much less C2H5CO2CH3 is in the flask when the system has again reached equilibrium?

By the time equilibrium is re-established, the system goes back to how it all was and the concentration of C2H5CO2CH3 goes back to the same as it was at the start of the reaction.

Hope this Helps!!!

Explain why organic reactions occur at a slower rate than inorganic reactions. What do chemists use to speed these reactions up?

8_murik_8 [283]

The organic particles are molecules. Because of strong covalent bonding in the molecule, organic compounds do not react quickly. Reactions with organic compounds are generally slower than inorganic reactions due to this fact.

Increasing temperature speeds up a reaction because of there being more collisions and those collisions have higher energy. Also the high concentration of the chemicals, particle size and there being a suitable catalyst present. ( Though this process is harmful should it be used in modifying results in food grains and meats.)
