<span>Starch and
cellulose have the same substance but different structures. They are both
polysaccharides. The basic unit of a polysaccharide is the glucose. Glucose,
which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, have two forms. The alpha-glucose
with an alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is down and the beta-glucose with
the alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is up. Starch is the alpha-glucose while
cellulose is the beta-glucose. Starches are linked into a straight chain whereas
the cellulose are connected like a pile of stack paper. When the human body
eats starch, it can digest the starch but not the cellulose because it has no
enzyme that can break it down. </span>
Answer:
Hygroscopic
Explanation:
An hygroscopic substance is one that absorbs moisture from the atmosphere and becomes wet. Their ability to remove water from air is less than that of deliquescent substances. Most of the solid hygroscopic substances forms pasty substances and not solutions like the deliquescent compounds.
Examples are sodium trioxonitrate(v), copper(ii) oxide e.t.c
Efflorescence compounds gives off their water of crystallization to the atmosphere.
Answer:
Option C.
2 Mg (s) + O₂(g) → 2MgO (s)
Explanation:
Two moles of magnesium solid react with one mol of oxygen gas to
form two moles of magnesium-oxide solid
2 Mg (s) + O₂(g) → 2MgO (s)
That's the reaction for the magnessium oxide's formation.
Be careful cause we do not say molecules, they are moles.
The stoichiometry indicates the number of moles that react and the moles which are produced.
It is a redox reaction, because the magnessium is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced. Both elements, changed the oxidation states.
