Answer:

Production of Citric Acid

It is an organic carboxylic acid and can be extracted from the juice of citrus fruits by adding calcium oxide to form calcium citrate, which is an insoluble precipitate that can be collected by filtration; the citric acid can be recovered from its calcium salt by adding sulfuric acid.

Citric acid is the most important organic acid produced in tonnage and is extensively used in food and pharmaceutical industries. It is produced mainly by submerged fermentation using Aspergillus niger from different sources of carbohydrates, such as molasses and starch based media.

Citric acid is most prevalent in citrus fruits and juices. Of these fruits, lemons and limes have the most citric acid. While oranges, grapefruits, and berries also contain appreciable amounts, lemons and limes will most significantly contribute to the citric acid content of your urine.

How many moles of silicon are in 5.9 X 10 to the 24 power atoms of silicon

Dimas [21]

Answer:

9.79740949850 moles

Explanation:

1 mole = Avogardo's Number <<6.022 E 23 <<particles, atoms, etc.>>
This problem can be solved using dimensional analysis by multiplying atoms (5.9E24 atoms) by (1) mole and then dividing the number by Avogardo's number (6.022 E 23 atoms).
Note: E = * 10

Side Note: Please let me know if you need any clarifications about this!

Describe where a hydrogen bond can form among water molecules.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

In water hydrogen bonding formed between partially negative oxygen and partially positive hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bond is a partially electrostatic attraction between hydrogen (H), which is bonded to a more electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F), and another adjacent atom bearing a lone pair of electrons.

In water molecule hydrogen and oxygen have difference in electronegativity, due to which dipoles are form. One is partial positive on hydrogen atom and other is partial negative on oxygen atom. The electrostatic attraction occur between two oppositely charged poles which is known as hydrogen bonding.

How do you find the percent yield of a chemical reaction?

kotegsom [21]

To express the efficiency of a reaction, you can calculate the percent yield using this formula: %yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100. A percent yield of 90% means the reaction was 90% efficient, and 10% of the materials were wasted (they failed to react, or their products were not
