Answer:

(i) hydrolysis; (ii) combination;  (iii) single replacement;  

(iv) single replacement; (v) double replacement

Explanation:

(i) Carbohydrates are broken down to form glucose

Carbohydrates must react with water to form glucose.

For example,

C₆H₁₁O₅-O-C₆H₁₁O₆ + H-O-H ⟶ 2C₆H₁₂O₆

       maltose                                          glucose

This is a hydrolysis reaction — the reaction of a compound in which a molecule of water breaks one or more bonds to form new substances.

The reaction is not a decomposition (a reaction in which a compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances), because two different molecules are involved.

(ii) Tarnishing of copper.

Cu + S ⟶ CuS

This is a combination or synthesis reaction — in which two or more substances combine to form a single new substance.

(iii) Heating of ferric oxide with aluminium powder

Fe₂O₃ + 2Al ⟶ Al₂O₃ + 2Fe

This is a single displacement or single replacement reaction — in which one element replaces another element in a compound.

Here, Al is replacing Fe in its oxide.

(iv) Blue colour of copper sulphate solution disappears when zinc dust is added to it

CuSO₄ + Zn ⟶ ZnSO₄  + Cu

This is a single displacement or single replacement reaction.

Here, Zn is replacing Cu in its sulfate.

(v) Dilute sulfuric acid is added to sodium hydroxide solution  

H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH ⟶ Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

2H⁺, SO₄²⁻ + 2Na⁺OH⁻ ⟶ 2Na⁺, SO₄²⁻ + 2H-OH

This is a double displacement or double replacement reaction — in which the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds exchange places to form two new compounds.

The Na⁺ ions are replacing the H⁺ ions in the sulfuric, forming sodium sulfate and water,

When the ideal gas law constant 0.0821 is used, what unit of pressure should be used in the ideal gas law calculation?
Julli [10]
The pressure unit is in atmospheres or atm. To confirm this from the ideal gas equation: 

R = VP/nT

plugging in the standard values of pressure, temperature and molar volume,

R = (22.4L/mo)l(1atm)/(273.15K) = 0.0821

What is the relationship between metals and the number of electrons in the outer level?
gayaneshka [121]
Elements in group 1-2, 13-18, the number of valence electrons is related to the group number. For example, in the first group, the alkali metals there is one valence electron, however in group 13, there are 3 valence electrons. Valence electrons are also known as the outershell electrons.

Correct way for calculating atomic mass
kolezko [41]

Answer:

mass number = protons + neutrons.

Explanation:

Together, the number of protons and the number of neutrons determine an element's mass number: mass number = protons + neutrons. If you want to calculate how many neutrons an atom has, you can simply subtract the number of protons, or atomic number, from the mass number.
