Answer:

Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates that cannot be hydrolyzed to smaller compounds. Monosaccharides are the basic units of carbohydrates and are also known as simple sugars.

The monosaccharides are classified on the basis of number of carbon atoms present.

Triose is a type of monosaccharide molecule, which is composed of 3 carbon atoms.

Tetrose is a type of monosaccharide molecule, which is composed of 4 carbon atoms.

Pentose is a type of monosaccharide molecule, which is composed of 5 carbon atoms.

Hexose is a type of monosaccharide molecule, which is composed of 6 carbon atoms.

D-glucose is a hexose sugar and it is the <u>most abundant monosaccharide</u> in the nature.

How many moles of copper Il sulfide can be produced from 2.8 moles of sulfur? Cu + S --> CuS

Kamila [148]

Answer: 2.8 moles of copper (Il) sulfide $(CuS)$ will be produced from 2.8 moles of sulphur.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$Cu+S\rightarrow CuS$

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of $S$ produce = 1 mole of copper (Il) sulfide $(CuS)$

Thus 2.8 moles of $S$ will produce= $\frac{1}{1}\times 2.8=2.8moles$ of copper (Il) sulfide $(CuS)$

Thus 2.8 moles of copper (Il) sulfide $(CuS)$ will be produced from 2.8 moles of sulphur.

What would diluting the vinegar do to the rate of a reaction between vinegar and sodium hydroxide? decrease the rate of reaction

GarryVolchara [31]

Vinegar is aceti acid diluted in water.

The reaction of vinegar with sodium hydroxide is:

CH3COOH + NaOH ---> CH3COONa + H2O

That is an acid-base reaction.

The speed of reaction is proportional to the concentrations of the reactants.

Then, given thatn when you dilute the vinegar you decrease the concentration of CH3COOH, the rate of reaction will decrease.

Answer: decrease the rate of reaction.
