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.

A scientist wants to make a solution of tribasic sodium phosphate, na3po4, for a laboratory experiment. How many grams of na3po4

natima [27]

Answer :

The correct answer is for mass of Na₃PO₄ 39.7 g.

Given : 1) Molarity of Na⁺ ions = 1.00 M or 1.00 $\frac{mol}{L}$

2) Volume of solution = 725 mL

Converting volume of solution from mL to L :

Conversion factor : 1 L = 1000 mL

$Volume of solution = 725 mL * \frac{1L }{1000 mL}$

Volume of solution = 0.725 L

Following steps can be done to find mass of :

Step 1 : Write the dissociation reaction of Na₃PO₄ .

$Na_3PO_4 3 Na^+ + PO_4^3^-$

Step 2: Find moles of Na⁺ ions :

Mole of Na⁺ ions can be calculated using molarity formula which is : $Molarity (\frac{mol}{L} ) = \frac{mole of Na^+ }{volume of solution }$

Plugging value of Molarity and volume

$1.00 \frac{mol}{L} = \frac{Mole of Na^+ ions}{0.725 L}$

Multiplying both side by 0.725 L

$1.00 \frac{mol}{L}* 0.725 L = \frac{mole of Na^+ ions}{0.725 L} * 0.725 L$

Mole of Na⁺ ions = 0.725 mol

Step 3: Find mole ratio of Na₃PO₄ : Na⁺ :

Mole ratio is found from coefficients from balanced reaction as:

Mole of Na₃PO₄ in balanced reaction = 1

Mole of Na⁺ ion = 3

Hence mole ratio of Na₃PO₄: Na⁺ = 1 : 3

Step 4 : To find mole of Na₃PO₄

Mole of Na₃PO₄ can be calculated using mole of Na⁺ ion and Mole ratio as :

$Mole of Na_3PO_4= Mole of Na^+ * Mole ratio$

$Mole of Na_3PO_4 = 0.725 mol * \frac{1 mole of Na_3PO_4}{3 mole of Na^+ }$

Mole of Na₃PO₄ = 0.242 mol

Step 5 : To find mass of Na₃PO₄

Mole of Na₃PO₄ can be converted to mass of Na₃PO₄ using molar mass of Na₃PO₄ as :

$Mass (g) = mole (mol) * molar mass \frac{g}{mol}$

$Mass of Na_3PO_4 = 0.242 mol * 163.94 \frac{g}{mol}$

Mass of Na₃PO₄ = 39.619 g

Step 6 : To round off mass of Na₃PO₄ to correct sig fig .

The sig fig in 750 mL and 1.00 M is 3 . So mass of Na₃PO₄ can rounded to 3 sig fig as :

Mass of Na₃PO₄ = 39.7 g

What is the molarity of 4.0 moles NaCI dissolved in 2.0 L of solution

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

What is the molarity of a solution containing 5.00 moles of kcl in 2.00L of solution? Molarity= moles of solute/volume of solution in litre , so the problem looks like this : 7/. 569 , which is equivalent to 12.302 M .

A student wants to measure the entropy of ice. What should the student do?

Helen [10]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the degree of randomness. This means that more is the number of collisions taking place between atoms of a substance more will be the randomness.

Therefore, more will be the entropy of substance. We cannot measure the entropy but we can measure the change in entropy of a substance.

A thermometer is a glass tube that contains a liquid column generally mercury, and it is usually used to measure the temperature of human body.

A calorimeter is a device or apparatus that is used in a chemical reaction to measure the amount of heat involved.

Therefore, we can conclude that the student can't measure entropy directly, only an entropy change.

Consider the reaction pathway graph below.

Alex17521 [72]

Hello!

The reaction that the graph represents is A. Exothermic because Hrxn=-167 kJ

To calculate Hrxn we apply the following equation:

$Hrxn=Hproducts-Hreagents=-625kJ-(-458kJ)=-167kJ$

Looking at the graph, and at the result of the calculations, we can see that the enthalpy of the products is lower than the enthalpy of the reagents, because the sign is negative. That means that the reaction releases energy in the form of heat and that the reaction is exothermic.

Have a nice day!
