Chemistry
1 answer:
mars1129 [50]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Word that comes from a Greek word

Explanation:

Glucose is a natural monosaccharide, which has the following molecular formula: C6H12O6

From the chemical point of view, this molecule is a hexose (this is, it has 6 carbon atoms) and an aldose (since it has an aldehyde group)

Glucose as a word has its origin from the Greek word “gleukos”, which means “sweet wine”, and the suffix “ose”, which is used to for a sugar

French people then adapted this word (in order to define a new chemical word, to differentiate the type of sugar found in grapes, slight different from sugar found in other elements such as honey)

"How many formula units are there in sample of copper(II) sulfate that has
babymother [125]

Answer: 1.23\times 10^{23} formula units

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{32.5g}{160g/mol}=0.203moles

1 mole of CuSO_4 contains 6.023\times 10^{23} of formula units

Thus 0.203 mole of CuSO_4 contains =\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 0.203=1.23\times 10^{23} of formula units
