Answer:

Glucose = C6H12O6

molecular mass = 6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16)

= 72 + 12 + 96

= 180 g

Explanation:

Glucose has a chemical formula of: C6H12O6 That means glucose is made of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms. ... Glucose is produced during photosynthesis and acts as the fuel for many organisms.

A saturated solution of baso4 has a concentration of 0.5mol/l. a 55ml sample is taken by you. what is the mass of baso4 in the s

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

6.4 g BaSO₄

Explanation:

You have been given the molarity and the volume of the solution. To find the mass of the solution, you need to (1) find the moles BaSO₄ (via the molarity ratio) and then (2) convert moles BaSO₄ to grams BaSO₄ (via the molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (the desired unit should be in the numerator). The final answer should have 2 sig figs to reflect the sig figs of the given values.

Molarity (mol/L) = moles / volume (L)

(Step 1)

55 mL / 1,000 = 0.055 L

Molarity = moles / volume <----- Molarity ratio

0.5 (mol/L) = moles / 0.055 L <----- Insert values

0.0275 = moles <----- Multiply both sides by 0.055

(Step 2)

Molar Mass (BaSO₄): 137.33 g/mol + 32.065 g/mol + 4(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (BaSO₄): 233.387 g/mol

0.0275 moles BaSO₄ 233.387 g
--------------------------------- x ------------------- = 6.4 g BaSO₄

Neopentyl alcohol, (ch3)3cch2oh, cannot be dehydrated to an alkene without rearrangement. what is the chief product of dehydrati

emmainna [20.7K]

Dehydration is removal of water.

In alcohols dehydration is α-β elimination or 1,2 elimination, it means the hydroxyl group will be removed from α-carbon while the hydrogen will be removed from near by carbon.

In case of neopentyl alcohol there is no β hydrogen present on the β carbon [as shown in figure].

The only possible way for it to undergo dehydration is by rearrangement.

The process or mechanism can be understood as:

so the chief product is 2-methylbut-2-ene
