Answer and Explanation:

Carbohydrates are a type of biomolecule that the body uses primarily for energy and/or structure. They usually consist of the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) in a 1 : 2 : 1 ratio. For example, glucose, a carbohydrate, is $C_6H_{12}O_6$ .

Monomers of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides, and polymers are called disaccharides if two monosaccharides are combined and polysaccharides if more than two monosaccharides are put together.

Examples of carbohydrates are sugars, starches, cellulose, lactose, sucrose, etc.

Calculate the boiling point of a 3.60 m aqueous sucrose solution. express the boiling point in degrees celsius to five significa

kvv77 [185]

We can use this equation for boiling point elevation:
ΔT(b) = i K(b) M
when Δ T(b) is the increase of boiling point of the solution.
and i is ( vant Hoff factor, the number of particles or ions per mole-clue.
and K(b) is boiling point increase constant for the solution ( and for water it is equal 0.52 C° Kg/mol)
We can assume i (vant Hoff factor ) = 1 as the sucrose is nonelectrolyte (not readily ionize).
So for water: Tb° = 100 c° and Kb = 0.52 c° Kg / mol
By substitute at:
ΔTb = i Kb M
∴ = 1 * 0.52 * 3.60 = 1.8432 C°
and when Tb = Tb° + ΔTb
∴ Tb = 100 + 1.8432 = 101.8432 C°

Calculate the number of atoms in 3mol helium

OleMash [197]

<span>The chemical formula of Helium is He.

Question 1 :

Given n = 1.11 x 10^-6

To get no. of the particle,
No of particle = no. of mole x Avogadro Constant
p = n x NA

1 mol of Helium = 6.02 x 10^23

No of atoms = (6.02 x 10^23) x (1.11 x 10^-6)
= 6.66 x 10^17

................................

Question 2 :

Given p = 4.29x10^21

p = n x NA
4.29 x 10^21 = n x (6.02 x 10^23)
(4.29 x 10^21) / (6.02 x 10^23) = n
n = Approximately 7.126 x 10^-3

Hope the answer is right :)</span>
