What reagent is used to test for starch​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elodia [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

iodine

Explanation:

In the presence of starch, iodine turns a blue/black colour. It is possible to distinguish starch from glucose (and other carbohydrates) using this iodine solution test. For example, if iodine is added to a peeled potato then it will turn black. Benedict's reagent can be used to test for glucose.

Why did Rutherford choose alpha particles in his experiment?
Georgia [21]
Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because gold is the most malleable metal and he wanted the thinnest layer as possible. The goldsheet used was around 1000 atoms thick. Therefore, Rutherford selected a Gold foil in his alpha scatttering experiment.

What is frequency? How can sound wave having different frequencies have the same speed​
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The relationship of the speed of sound, its frequency, and wavelength is the same as for all waves: vw = fλ, where vw is the speed of sound, f is its frequency, and λ is its wavelength. ... The more rigid (or less compressible) the medium, the faster the speed of sound

Predict the sign of the entropy change,Delta S, for each of the following reactions:The signs are either going to be pos or nega
algol [13]

Answer: a) Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s):  negative

b)  CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g) : positive

c) 2NH_3(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+3H_2(g): positive.

d) P_4(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow P_4O_{10}(s) : negative

e) C_4H_8(g)+6O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g):  positive.

f) I_2(s)\rightarrow I_2(g) : positive.

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

\Delta S is positive when randomness increases and \Delta S is negative when randomness decreases.

a) Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)

As ions are moving to solid form , randomness decreases and thus sign of \Delta S is negative.

b) CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

As solid is changing to gas, randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

c) 2NH_3(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+3H_2(g)

As 2 moles of reactants are converted to 4 moles of products , randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

d) P_4(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow P_4O_{10}(s)

As gas is changing to solid, randomness decreases and thus sign of \Delta S is negative.

e) C_4H_8(g)+6O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

As 7 moles of reactants are converted to 8 moles of products , randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

f) I_2(s)\rightarrow I_2(g)

As solid is changing to gas, randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.
