Answer:

Glucose

Explanation:

Glucose, also called dextrose is one of a group of carbohydrates known as simple sugars or monosaccharides. Glucose is derived from the Greek word 'glykys' meaning “sweet”. It has the molecular formula C6H12O6. It is commonly found in fruits and honey and is the major free sugar circulating in the blood of higher animals. It is the source of energy in cell function, and the regulation of its metabolism is of great importance. Molecules of starch, the major energy-reserve of carbohydrate of plants, consist of thousands of linear glucose units. Another major compound composed of glucose is cellulose, which is also linear. Dextrose is the molecule D-glucose.

Glucose is composed of carbon hydrogen and oxygen in a ratio of 1:2:1 as typified by its formula. It is known for its sweet taste. It can be combined with fructose in table sugar.

An ethylene glycol solution contains 21.4 g of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) in 97.6 mL of water. (Assume a density of 1.00 g/mL for

8090 [49]

Answer: The freezing point and boiling point of the solution are $-6.6^0C$ and $101.8^0C$ respectively.

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point:

$T_f^0-T^f=i\times k_f\times \frac{w_2\times 1000}{M_2\times w_1}$

where,

$T_f$ = freezing point of solution = ?

$T^o_f$ = freezing point of water = $0^0C$

$k_f$ = freezing point constant of water = $1.86^0C/m$

i = vant hoff factor = 1 ( for non electrolytes)

m = molality

$w_2$ = mass of solute (ethylene glycol) = 21.4 g

$w_1$ = mass of solvent (water) = $density\times volume=1.00g/ml\times 97.6ml=97.6g$

$M_2$ = molar mass of solute (ethylene glycol) = 62g/mol

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$(0-T_f)^0C=1\times (1.86^0C/m)\times \frac{(21.4g)\times 1000}{97.6g\times (62g/mol)}$

$T_f=-6.6^0C$

Therefore,the freezing point of the solution is $-6.6^0C$

Elevation in boiling point :

$T_b-T^b^0=i\times k_b\times \frac{w_2\times 1000}{M_2\times w_1}$

where,

$T_b$ = boiling point of solution = ?

$T^o_b$ = boiling point of water = $100^0C$

$k_b$ = boiling point constant of water = $0.52^0C/m$

i = vant hoff factor = 1 ( for non electrolytes)

m = molality

$w_2$ = mass of solute (ethylene glycol) = 21.4 g

$w_1$ = mass of solvent (water) = $density\times volume=1.00g/ml\times 97.6ml=97.6g$

$M_2$ = molar mass of solute (ethylene glycol) = 62g/mol

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$(T_b-100)^0C=1\times (0.52^0C/m)\times \frac{(21.4g)\times 1000}{97.6g\times (62g/mol)}$

$T_b=101.8^0C$

Thus the boiling point of the solution is $101.8^0C$

How do we balance Zn + HNO3 Zn(NO3)2 + NO + H20

USPshnik [31]

3Zn + 8HNO₃⇒ 3Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1

For gas combustion reaction which is a reaction of hydrocarbons with oxygen produces CO₂ and H₂O (water vapor). can use steps:

Balancing C atoms, H and the last O atoms

Reaction

Zn + HNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + NO + H₂O

1. gives a coefficient

aZn + bHNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + cNO + dH₂O

2. make an equation

Zn : left = a, right =1 ⇒a=1

H : left = b, right = 2d⇒ b=2d (eq 1)

N : left = b, right = 2+c⇒b=2+c (eq 2)

O : left = 3b, right = 6+c+d ⇒3b=6+c+d(eq 3)

From eq 1 and eq 3

3(2d)=6+c+d

6d=6+c+d

5d=6+c (eq 4)

From eq 2 and eq 3

3(2+c)=6+c+d

6+3c=6+c+d

2c=d (eq 5)

From eq 4 and eq 5

5(2c)=6+c

10c=6+c

9c=6

c = 2/3

input eq 5

d = 2 x 2/3

d = 4/3

input eq 1

b = 2 x 4/3

b = 8/3

The equation

aZn + bHNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + cNO + dH₂O to

Zn + 8/3HNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2/3NO + 4/3H₂O x 3

3Zn + 8HNO₃⇒ 3Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

1.8 moles of O₂

Explanation:

The balance chemical equation for said double replacement (photosynthesis) reaction is as follow;

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

According to balance chemical equation,

6 moles of O₂ are produced by = 6 moles of CO₂

So,

1.8 moles of O₂ will be produced by = X moles of O₂

Solving for X,

X = 1.8 mol × 6 mol / 6 mol

X = 1.8 moles of O₂

Stoichiometric problems in which moles are given and moles or other reactant or product asked are the simplest problems. One should only write the balanced chemical equation and perform above method to find the required moles.
