What happens to a glass of sugar solution when sugar is added to it?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The molarity of the solution increases.

Explanation:

Molarity is the measure of the concentration of the solute in the solution. In this case, the solvent is the sugar solution and the solute is the sugar.

If sugar is ADDED to the already sugary solution, then there would be more sugar. Therefore, the sugar (solute) would increase in number.

This means that the answer is the third choice: The molarity of the solution increases.

The answer would not be the first or second choice because there isn't anything in the question that implies water. It just says sugar solution.

The answer is not the last choice because the sugar concentration does not decrease after you have added more sugar to it. It increases.

A ________ reaction occurs when one compound reacts and is broken down into different elements or simpler compounds?
faust18 [17]

Answer: decomposition

Explanation:

1 . Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide ans water along with liberation of large amount of energy.

2. Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which a single reactant gives two or more than two products.

CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2

3. Single replacement is a type of chemical reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its slat solution.

4. Synthesis is a type of chemical reaction in which two or more than two reactants combine together to give a single product.

A student is asked to standardize a solution of barium hydroxide. He weighs out 0.978 g potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHC8H4O4,
Sav [38]

Answer:

(A) 0.129 M

(B) 0.237 M

Explanation:

(A) The reaction between potassium hydrogen phthalate and barium hydroxide is:

  • 2HA + Ba(OH)₂ → BaA₂ + 2H₂O

Where A⁻ is the respective anion of the monoprotic acid (KC₈H₄O₄⁻).

We <u>convert mass of phthalate to moles</u>, using its molar mass:

  • 0.978 g ÷ 156 g/mol = 9.27x10⁻³ mol = 9.27 mmol

Now we <u>convert mmol of HA to mmol of Ba(OH)₂</u>:

  • 9.27 mmol HA * \frac{1mmolBa(OH)_{2}}{2mmolHA} = 6.64 mmol Ba(OH)₂

Finally we calculate the molarity of the Ba(OH)₂ solution:

  • 6.64 mmol / 35.8 mL = 0.129 M

(B) The reaction between Ba(OH)₂ and HCl is:

  • 2HCl + Ba(OH)₂ → BaCl₂ + 2H₂O

So<u> the moles of HCl that reacted </u>are:

  • 17.1 mL * 0.129 M * \frac{2mmolHCl}{1mmolBa(OH)_2} = 4.41 mmol HCl

And the <u>molarity of the HCl solution is</u>:

  • 4.41 mmol / 18.6 mL = 0.237 M

Column A 1. Reproduction: Reproduction 2. offspring: offspring 3. gamete: gamete 4. Budding: Budding 5. Binary fission: Binary f
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

1. Reproduction: One or two parents, organisms make new offspring

2. Offspring: A new living organism

3. Gamete: female and male create mini-me by cell division

4. Budding: Hydra

5. Binary fission: Bacteria

6. Zygote: The original cell after egg cell and sperm cell join

7. Fragmentation/Regeneration: Sea star / Planarian

8. Mitosis: Healling and growth occurs in budding

9. Meiosis: Egg or sperm cell/ specialized cells

Explanation:

1. Reproduction is the process by which organisms make new offspring either sexually (involving two parents) or asexually (involving one parent only).

2. An Offspring is a new living organism

3. A gamete is a mature sexual reproductive cell, as a sperm or egg, that unites with another cell to form a new organism. It formed from female and male parents by cell division known as meiosis

4. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which a new offspring grows out from a part of the parent. It occurs in Hydra.

5. Biinary fission is a form of asexual reproduction which involves a separation of the parent into two new offspring. It commonly occurs in Bacteria

6. Zygote is the original cell formed after egg cell and sperm cell fuse.

7. Fragmentation/Regeneration: this is a form of reproduction in which a parent splits into fragments which are then able to develop into new organisms. It occurs in Sea star and Planarians

8. Mitosis is a form of cell division which a cell divides into two identical daughter cells with the same genetic components as the parent cell. It functions in healing and growth as well as in budding

9. Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in the production of sex cells or gametes. The number of chromosomes in the parent cell is halved and four gamete cells are produced. Egg or sperm cell/ specialized cells are produced by meiosis.

A student makes the following two claims about chemical reactions:

I would agree with the second one, not the first. You can't always see the chemical reaction, and it isn't always sudden. But the second claim is true.
