Explanation:

The starch requires a temperature higher than the room temperature (arround 60 °C) to decompose to form simple sugars. This is because the energy required to break the chemical bonds. Also, it may need the action of some specific enzymes (alpha and beta amilase) to break those bonds.

How many pounds of manganese are in 1.261 tons of Mn2O3?

Alina [70]

Answer:

2000pound

Explanation:

Manganese metal is produced from the manganese(III) oxide, Mn2O3, which is found in manganite, a manganese ore. The manganese is reduced from its +3 oxidation state in Mn2O3 to the zero oxidation state of the uncharged metal by reacting the Mn2O3 with a reducing agent such as aluminum or carbon. How many pounds of manganese are in 1.261 tons of Mn2O3? (1 ton = 2000 pounds)

About 40 different substances called organophosphorus compounds are registered in the United States as insecticides. They are considered less damaging to the environment than some other insecticides because they breakdown relatively rapidly in the environment. The first of these organophosphorus insecticides to be produced was tetraethyl pyrophosphate, TEPP, which is 33.11% carbon, 6.95% hydrogen, 38.59% oxygen, and 21.35% phosphorus. It has a molecular mass of 290.190.

Answer:

1.18x10⁸L of SO₂ and 2.36x10⁸L of H₂S

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

8SO₂(g) + 16H₂S(g) → 16H₂O(l) + 3S₈(s)

To solve this question we must find the moles of S₈ in 4.50x10⁵kg. With these moles and the reaction we can find the moles of SO₂ needed to react (Twice these moles = Moles Of H₂S needed). Using PV = nRT we can find the volume of the gas required:

<em>Moles S₈ - molar mass: 256.52g/mol-</em>

4.50x10⁵kg = 4.50x10⁸g * (1mol / 256.52g) =

1.75x10⁶ moles S₈

<em>Moles SO₂:</em>

1.75x10⁶ moles S₈ * (8mol SO₂ / 3mol S₈) = 4.68x10⁶ moles SO₂

<em>Moles H₂S:</em>

4.68x10⁶ moles SO₂ * 2 = 9.36x10⁶ moles H₂S

The volume could be obtained as follows:

PV = nRT

V = nRT / P

<em>V is volume in liters</em>

<em>n are moles: 4.68x10⁶ moles SO₂ and 9.36x10⁶ moles H₂S</em>

<em>R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK</em>

<em>T is absolute temperature = 22°C + 273.15 = 295.15K</em>

<em>P is pressure = 0.961atm</em>

<em />

Replacing:

Volume SO₂ and H₂S:

4.68x10⁶ moles * 0.082atmL/molK * 295.15K / 0.961atm =

<em>9.36x10⁶ moles H₂S</em> * 0.082atmL/molK * 295.15K / 0.961atm =

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

It makes the pasta to get hot faster and boil quicker.

Explanation:

Adding salt to water actually raises the boiling point of the water, due to a phenomenon called boiling point elevation. Essentially, adding any non-volatile solute such as salt to a liquid causes a decrease in the liquid’s vapour pressure. A liquid boils when the vapour pressure above it equals atmospheric pressure, so a lower vapour pressure means you need a higher temperature to boil the water. The reason salt makes water boil faster has to do with specific heat capacities, or the energy it takes to raise the temperature of a substance. Salt ions dissolved in water bind to water molecules, holding them stable and making it harder for them to move around. As a result, the non-salt bound water molecules receive more of the energy provided by the stove, and therefore they get hot faster and boil quicker.
