Answer:

202 g/mol

Explanation:

Let's consider the neutralization between a generic monoprotic acid and KOH.

HA + KOH → KA + H₂O

The moles of KOH that reacted are:

0.0164 L × 0.08133 mol/L = 1.33 × 10⁻³ mol

The molar ratio of HA to KOH is 1:1. Then, the moles of HA that reacted are 1.33 × 10⁻³ moles.

1.33 × 10⁻³ moles of HA have a mass of 0.2688 g. The molar mass of the acid is:

0.2688 g/1.33 × 10⁻³ mol = 202 g/mol

Define "Mutarotation"

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Mutarotation refers to the change in the optical rotation or optical activity of a solution due to the change in the equilibrium of the two anomers. It depends upon the optical activity and ratio of the anomeric forms in the solution.

To measure the optical rotation of a given solution, a polarimeter can be used and thus the ratio of the anomeric forms can be calculated.

What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 83.7% carbon and 16.3% hydrogen?

zubka84 [21]

Hello!

We use the amount in grams (mass ratio) based on the composition of the elements, see: (in 100 g solution)

C: 83.7% = 83,7 g
H: 16.3% = 16.3 g

Let us use the above mentioned data (in g) and values will be converted to amount of substance (number of moles) by dividing by molecular mass (g / mol) each of the values, lets see:

$C: \dfrac{83.7\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{12\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol} \approx 6.975\:mol$

$H: \dfrac{16.3\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{1\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol} = 16.3\:mol$

We note that the values found above are not integers, so let's divide these values by the smallest of them, so that the proportion is not changed, let's see:

$C: \dfrac{6.975}{6.975} = 1$

$H: \dfrac{16.3}{6.975} \approx 2.3$

Note: So the ratio in the smallest whole numbers of carbon to hydrogen is 3:7, t<span>hus, the minimum or empirical formula found for the compound will be:

$\boxed{\boxed{C_3H_7}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

I hope this helps. =)

Plants like the ones shown in the picture, that use seeds, flowers, or fruit for reproduction are A) flowering.

The picture shows flowering plants that are using seeds, flowers or fruits and they are called flowering plant .

So the answer here is A) flowering.

Plants like the ones shown in the picture, that use seeds, flowers, or fruit for reproduction are A) flowering.
