We can use a ratio to solve this question. Lets refer to the amount formed by the formula as a serving
1 serving needs 3/8 gal
We want to create 7/9 servings extra, so
1 + 7/9 = 16/7
1 : 3/8
16/7 : x
1/(3/8) = (16/7) / x
8 / 3 = 16x / 7
x = 7/6
He needs to use 7/6 gallons of water.

<u>Analysing the Question:</u>

We are given the balanced equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂→ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

from this equation, we can say that: <em>for every 1 mole of Glucose, we need 6 moles of Oxygen</em>

<u>Moles of Glucose used in the reaction:</u>

Molar mass of Glucose = 180 grams / mol

Given mass of Glucose = 1 gram

Mole of Glucose = Given mass / Molar mass

Moles of Glucose = 1 / 180 moles

<u>Mass of Oxygen required:</u>

We know that for every mole of Glucose, we need 6 moles of Oxygen

So, for 1/180 moles of Glucose, we need 6 / 180 = 1 / 30 moles of Oxygen

Mass of 1 / 30 moles of Oxygen:

Mass = Molar mass * number of moles

Mass of Oxygen = 32 * 1/30

Mass of Oxygen  = 32 / 30

Mass of Oxygen = 1.06 grams

You observe 2 waves named alpha and beta. The alpha wave has a frequency of 5 Hz and the beta wave has a frequency of 2 Hz. Base
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

shorter wavelength = alpha wave

Explanation:

Given that,

The alpha wave has a frequency of 5 Hz and the beta wave has a frequency of 2 Hz.

We need to compare the wavelengths of these two waves.

For alpha wave,

\lambda_1=\dfrac{c}{f_1}\\\\\lambda_1=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{5}\\\\=6\times 10^7\ m

For beta wave,

\lambda_2=\dfrac{c}{f_2}\\\\\lambda_2=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{2}\\\\=15\times 10^7\ m

From the above calculations, we find that the wavelength of the alpha wave is shorter than the wavelength of the beta wave.

If you need to extract a 50 ml aqueous solution with 50 ml of dichloromethane, what is the minimum size of a separatory funnel y
tatuchka [14]

The dichloromethane (DCM) has less density than water and also the polarity of water is much more than DCM. So the mixture of water and dichloromethane will always be a heterogeneous mixture. In the mixture dichloromethane will be always up of the water layer. The volume of the separatory funnel which contains the mixture of DCM and water must have to be more than the total volume of the liquids thus the volume of the funnel will be more than (50+50) = 100mL.

The caution have to consider during the separation are-

1. The separatory funnel have to shake well with lid and have to settle down for some times until the two liquid separated.

2. The lid should be open very slowly as the vapor pressure of DCM is more and it will float on the water.

3. After this the stopcock should be opened and slowly the water will come out first followed by DCM.

An unknown liquid is composed of 34.31% c, 5.28% h, and 60.41% i. The molecular weight is 210.06 amu. What is the molecular form
ozzi

In an unknown liquid, the percentage composition with respect to carbon, hydrogen and iodine is 34.31%, 5.28% and 60.41% respectively.

Let the mass of liquid be 100 g thus, mass of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen will be 34.31 g, 5.28 g and 60.41 g respectively.

To calculate molecular formula of compound, convert mass into number of moles as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Molar mass of carbon, hydrogen and iodine is 12 g/mol, 1 g/mol and 126.90 g/mol.

Taking the ratio:

C:H:I=n_{C}:n_{H}:n_{I}

Putting the values,

C:H:I=\frac{34.31 g}{12 g/mol}:\frac{5.28 g}{1 g/mol}:\frac{60.41 g}{126.90 g/mol}=6:11:1

Thus, molecular formula of compound will be C_{6}H_{11}I.
