Chemistry

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Taking the acid catalysed hydrolysis of fructose C6H12O6, the mechanism begins with the protonation of an -OH group as shown.

This is now followed by dehydration and formation of a keto-enol tautomer. The keto form is now dehydrated followed by the protonation of a second -OH group.

A second dehydration followed by deprotonation leads to the formation of  5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

How many moles of nitrogen are present at STP if the volume is 846L
Artyom0805 [142]
A mole of any gas occupied 22.4 L at STP. So, the number of moles of nitrogen gas at STP in 846 L would be 846/22.4 = 37.8 moles of nitrogen gas.

Alternatively, you can go the long route and use the ideal gas law to solve for the number of moles of nitrogen given STP conditions (273 K and 1.00 atm). From PV = nRT, we can get n = PV/RT. Plugging in our values, and using 0.08206 L•atm/K•mol as our gas constant, R, we get n = (1.00)(846)/(0.08206)(273) = 37.8 moles, which confirms our answer.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

less than 5 centimeters because it is a nonvascular plant

Explanation:

Mosses are a group of plants under the division Bryophyta. They are said to be the most primitive plant life in existence as they lack true roots, stems and leaves. They also lack vascular system, hence, they are regarded as non-vascular plants. They usually grow in very small sizes (about 0.2 - 10cm).

According to this question, Penny bought a club moss plant for her water garden and needs to know how tall the plant will grow so she know how much space it will need. Since it is a miss plant that lacks vascular tissues i.e. nonvascular, it will likely grow less than 5 centimeters in height.
