Answer:

Blue color of iodine-starch complex is disappear upon hysrolysis

Explanation:

Starch:

Starch is a polysaccharide

it is energy reservoir.

starch is made of monomers of glucose in a chain form.

The simplest form of starch is linear polymer amylose.

Iodine Test:

In this test iodine solution added to the solution to check the presence of starch.

Iodine solution = elemental iodine + KI

Result of Iodine Test:

when the iodine solution (I₃⁻) is added to a solution it show two types of result.

if the starch is present this I₃⁻ form a complex with amylose chain of starch and impart a dark blue color.

if starch is not present then the color will be orange or yellow.

Hydrolysis of Starch:

Hydrolysis of starch is carried out by an enzyme, this enzyme break down the starch into simpler sugar molecule.

So,

When the hydrolysis of starch occur the starch convert to glucose. Then the blue color of starch and iodine complex formed during iodine test is disappear that will be the indication of hydrolysis of starch.

What do you call the procedure that helps you determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object, whole using a graduated cyli

ki77a [65]

The method is called the displacement method.

You place some water in the graduated cylinder and measure its volume.
Then you add your object and measure the new volume.
The difference between the two volumes is the volume of your object.

6CO2 + 6 H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.5 moles

Explanation:

Data

moles of Glucose = ?

moles of carbon dioxide = 3

Balanced chemical reaction

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Process

To solve this problem, use proportions, and cross multiplication.

Use the coefficients of the balanced equation.

6 moles of CO₂ ----------------- 1 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆

3 moles of CO₂ ---------------- x

x = (3 x 1) / 6

-Simplification

x = 3/6

-Result

x = 0.5 moles of Glucose

Disadvantages of Mendeleev's periodic table

mestny [16]

Answer:

Various limitations of Mendeleev's periodic table are:-

Position of hydrogen - he couldn't assign a correct position to hydrogen as it showed properties of both alkali and halogens .

Position of isotopes - he considered that the properties of elements are a function of their atomic masses. Hence isotopes of a same element couldn't be placed.

In the d-block , elements with lower atomic number were placed before higher atomic number.

The target diol is synthesized in one step from 1-methylcyclopentene, but your lab partner exhausted the supply of that alkene.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

The reagents are $CH_{3}CH_{3}O^{-},OsO_{4},NaHSO_{3}and H_{2}O$ .

Explanation:

1-Methylenecyclopentene is treated with HBr form 1-bromo-1-methylcyclopentane, which is treated with strong base ethoxide ion and forms 1-methylcyclopent-1-ene.

This alkene is treated with osmium tetraoxide in the presence of sodium bisulfite to form target product.

The chemical reaction is as follows.
