Answer:

The answer to your question is: a. pentose

Explanation:

a) a pentose is a monosaccharide that has 5 carbons in its structure, if we look at the question the chemical formula only has 5 carbons, then this is the right answer.

b) an oligosaccharide is a group of 2 or more monosaccharides (till 5 or 6) then, it will have 10 or more carbons, this is not the right answer

c) a triose is a monosaccharide that has only three carbons, this is not the right answer.

d) a hexose is a monosaccharide that has 6 carbons, of course this answer is wrong.

e) a polysaccharide is a group of 6 or more monosaccharides, it will have 20 or more carbons, this answer is wrong.

How many grams of solute are needed to prepare a 3.50% mass/mass solution that has a solution mass of 2.50x102 grams.

Elis [28]

One way of expressing concentration is by percent. It may be on the basis of mass, mole or volume. Percent is expressed as the amount of solute per amount of the solution. For this case, we are given the percent by mass. In order to solve the amount of solute, we multiply the percent with the amount of the solution.

Mass of solute = percent by mass x mass solution
Mass of solute = 0.0350 x 2.50 x10^2 = 8.75 grams of solute

0.500 mile of potassium oxide is dissolved in enough water to make 2.00 L of solution. Calculate the molarity of this solution (

SCORPION-xisa [38]

The correct question is as follows: 0.500 moles of potassium oxide is dissolved in enough water to make 2.00 L of solution. Calculate the molarity of this solution (plz help!)

Answer: The molarity of this solution is 0.25 M.

Explanation:

Molarity is the number of moles of a substance divided by volume in liter.

As it is given that there are 0.5 moles of potassium oxide in 2.00 L of water so, the molarity of this solution is calculated as follows.

$Molarity = \frac{moles}{volume(in L)}\\= \frac{0.5 moles}{2.00 L}\\= 0.25 M$

Thus, we can conclude that molarity of this solution is 0.25 M.

Explain the concept: Law of Multiple Proportions.<br> Short and simple please

cricket20 [7]

In chemistry the law of multiple proportions states that if two elements from more than one compound between them then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will always be ratios of small whole numbers .
