Answer:
The catabolic process of converting carbohydrates to CO2 requires<u> oxidation</u> of carbon.
Explanation:
There are multiple definitions of reduction-oxidation. There is one that explains it with respect to oxygen, the other with respect to hydrogen and another with respect to electrons. The relevant one here is the one that explains it in terms of hydrogen. Oxidation is the removal of hydrogen while reduction is the addition of hydrogen. During repiration, the carbon loses the hydrogens attached to it and is therefore oxidized. These hydrogens attach themselves to oxygen which means oxygen is reduced.
Intermolecular bonding:
Water is a polar molecule exhibit dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding
Salt is a polar molecule exhibit dispersion forces and dipole dipole bonding
Same bonding capacity therefore similar bonding capacity, therefore salt able to dissolves in water
The water molecules are not completely removed so additional heating is required.
Explanation:
We have the copper (II) sulfate pentehydrate with the chemical formula CuSO₄ · 5H₂O.
molar mass of CuSO₄ · 5H₂O = 159.6 + 5 × 18 = 249.6 g/mole
Knowing this, we devise the following reasoning:
if in 249.6 g of CuSO₄ · 5H₂O there are 90 g of H₂O
then in 8 g of CuSO₄ · 5H₂O there are Y g of H₂O
Y = (8 × 90) / 249.6 = 2.88 g of water
mass of dried CuSO₄ = mass of CuSO₄ · 5H₂O - mass of H₂O
mass of dried CuSO₄ = 8 - 2.88 = 5.12 g
5.12 g is less that the weighted mass of 6.50 g. We deduce from this that the sample needs additional heating in order to remove all the water (H₂O) molecules.
