Answer: The simplest formula for monosaccharides is $(CH_2O)_6;n=6$

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are defined as the sugars that are present in the simplest forms or which cannot be further hydrolyzed. They are the the basic units os sugar.

This class of sugars consist of carbon atoms, hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms.

The general formula for a monosaccharide is $(CH_2O)_n;n\geq 3$

We are given a sugar having chemical formula $C_6H_{12}O_6$

So, the simplest form of the given sugar will be $(CH_2O)_6;n=6$

Write the balanced chemical equations for the decomposition of solid calcium hydroxide into solid calcium (ii) oxide (lime) and

Lesechka [4]

Calcium oxide (CaO) or lime in solid form can be prepared from the decomposition of calcium hydroxide {Ca $(OH)_{2}$ in to lime (CaO) and water ( $H_{2}O$ at high temperature. The reaction is an endothermic reaction. That is heat is absorbed in this reaction process. One mole of calcium hydroxide decomposed into one mole of calcium oxide and one mole of water. The balanced reaction can be shown as-CaC $O_{3}$ (solid) → CaO (solid) + $H_{2}O$ (liquid). The heat of the reaction is (+) 63.7 kJ/mole of CaO.

Use the equation: 2 kclo3 2 kcl + 3 o2 to write the mole ratio needed to calculate: (a) moles of kcl produced from 3.5 moles of

poizon [28]

Answer:-

(a) 3.5

(b) 3

Explanation:-

2KClO3 --> 2KCl + 3 O2

From the equation we see that 2 moles of KClO3 gives 2 moles of KCl.

So 3.5 moles of KClO3 will give 3 moles of KCl.

Again

3 moles of O2 are produced with 2 moles of KCl.

If 4.5 moles of O2 produced then

moles of KCl = 4.5 x 2/3

What happens to raisins or other dried fruits in breakfast cereals when you pour milk over them? why?

viktelen [127]

Dried fruits and raisins get terribly soggy after being drenched in milk for a long period of time. They act like a sponge, absorbing all of the milk up making them wet and "soggy". I prefer them to be like that when I eat my cereal in the morning.
