The molar mass of C6H12O6 is 180.1548 g/mol. The molar mass of C6 is 72.06 g/mol. So you divide the molar mass of C6 by the molar mass of C6H12O6 and multiply it by 100: (72.06g C6/180.1548g C6H1206)x100= .3999 x 100= 39.99% Carbon in glucose (40% rounded)

Answer : The percent composition of carbon in glucose (C_6H_{12}O_6) is, 6.66%

Solution : Given,

Molar mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mole

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.0079 g/mole

Molar mass of oxygen = 16.00 g/mole

Molar mass of glucose (C_6H_{12}O_6) = (6\times 12.01)+(12\times 1.0079)+(6\times 16)=180.1548g/mole

Formula used :

\% \text{composition of carbon}=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon}}{\text{Total mass of glucose}}\times 100

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

\% \text{composition of carbon}=\frac{12.01g/mole}{180.1548g/mole}\times 100=6.66\%

Therefore, the percent composition of carbon in glucose (C_6H_{12}O_6) is, 6.66%

Write a balanced equation for the single-displacement reaction of Al(s) with CuSO4(aq). Include states of matter in your answer.
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

2 Al(s) + 3 CuSO₄(aq) ⇒ 3 Cu(s) + Al₂(SO₄)₃(aq)

Explanation:

Let's consider the single displacement reaction of Al(s) with CuSO₄(aq). Copper has a higher reduction potential than aluminum, so aluminum will take the place of copper to form aluminum sulfate and metallic copper. The corresponding balanced chemical equation is:

2 Al(s) + 3 CuSO₄(aq) ⇒ 3 Cu(s) + Al₂(SO₄)₃(aq)

How would decreasing the volume of the reaction vessel affect each of the following equilibria? 2NOBr(g) --> 2NO(g)+Br2(g)
Alex_Xolod [135]
As per Le Chatelier principle, when a system in equilibrium is disturbed, the reaction will try to compensate the change to restore the equilibrium.


This reaction occurs in gas phase, so the volume is inversely proportional to the pressure.


 Then a decrease in volume will cause an increase in pressure, so the system will tend to react in the direction that compensates this increase, this is the system will try to reduce the number of moles of particles to reduce the increase of the pressure.


As you see, there are 3 particles of products (2 of NO and 1 of Br) for every 2 particles of reactant (NOBr).


That means, that the equilibrium will displace to the left, this is the concentration of NOBr will increase while the concentration of NO and Br will decrease.

Why are Li Na and k Placed in the same group of the periodic table?<br><br>​
Rudiy27

Answer:

Their valence electrons/properties

Explanation:

Elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same amount of valence electrons, which determines how they bond with other elements in other groups. This also determines their properties such as their reactivity. Since Li, Na, and K are in the same group, they must have similar properties and the same amount of electrons in their outermost shell.
