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 unknown salt is either NaF, NaCl, or NaOCl. When 0.050 mol of the salt is dissolved in water to form 0.500 L of solution, the

Answer: The unknown salt is NaF

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Moles of salt = 0.050 moles

Volume of solution = 0.500 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of salt}=\frac{0.050mol}{0.500L}\\\\\text{Molarity of salt}=0.1M$

To calculate the hydroxide ion concentration, we first calculate pOH of the solution, which is:

pH + pOH = 14

We are given:

pH = 8.08

$pOH=14-8.08=5.92$

To calculate pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5.92=-\log[OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=10^{-5.92}=1.202\times 10^{-6}M$

The unknown salt given are formed by the combination of weak acid and strong acid which is NaOH

The chemical equation for the hydrolysis of $X^-$ ions follows:

$X^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons HX(aq.)+OH^-(aq.);K_b$

Initial: 0.1

At eqllm: 0.1-x x x

Concentration of $OH^-=x=1.202\times 10^{-6}M$

The expression of $K_b$ for above equation follows:

$K_b=\frac{[OH^-][HX]}{[X^-]}$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$K_b=\frac{(1.202\times 10^{-6})\times (1.202\times 10^{-6})}{(1-(1.202\times 10^{-6}))}\\\\K_b=1.445\times 10^{-11}M$

To calculate the acid dissociation constant for the given base dissociation constant, we use the equation:

$K_w=K_b\times K_a$

where,

$K_w$ = Ionic product of water = $10^{-14}$

$K_a$ = Acid dissociation constant

$K_b$ = Base dissociation constant = $1.445\times 10^{-11}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$10^{-14}=1.445\times 10^{-11}\times K_a\\\\K_a=\frac{10^{-14}}{1.445\times 10^{-11}}=6.92\times 10^{-4}$

We know that:

$K_a\text{ for HF}=6.8\times 10^{-6}$

$K_a\text{ for HCl}=1.3\times 10^{6}$

$K_a\text{ for HClO}=3.0\times 10^{-8}$

So, the calculated $K_a$ is approximately equal to the $K_a$ of HF

Hence, the unknown salt is NaF

How many coppers of each atom in the products

yarga [219]

Answer:

Explanation:

moler mass of Cu is 63.546 g/mol. Since 63.546 g of copper has 6.022 x 10 power(23) atoms (Avogadro's number). = 9.5 x 10(power)21 atoms of copper.

What changes in space result from the death of massive stars?

lana [24]

Whenever the fuel is being used up, a star explodes and the energy leakage from a star's core ceases.

Explanation:

The dying star expands in the "Red Giant," before even the inevitable collapse starts, due to nuclear reactions just outside of the core.

It becomes a white dwarf star when the star has almost the same density as the Sun. If it's much larger, a supernova explosion could take place and leave a neutron star away. However, if it is very large–at least three times the Sun's mass–the crumbling core of the star, nothing will ever stop it from crumbling. The star is imploding into a black hole, an endless gravitational loop in space.
