Answer:
All around you there are chemical reactions taking place. Green plants are photosynthesising, car engines are relying on the reaction between petrol and air and your body is performing many complex reactions. In this chapter we will look at two common types of reactions that can occur in the world around you and in the chemistry laboratory. These two types of reactions are acid-base reactions and redox reactions.
Explanation:
This reaction is decomposition. It is the breakdown of a compound into simpler and smaller elements.
Answer:
16.933g approximately 17.0 grams
Explanation:
From the simple promotions and given the same compound ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
In the laboratory synthesised ascorbic acid
Mass of carbon = 30.0g
Mas of Oxygen = 40.0g
That is the mass of Oxygen per unit mass of Carbon
Per gram of Carbon we have
(30.0g Carbon)÷30 combines with (40.0g of Oxygen)÷30
That is 4/3g of Oxygen per gram of Carbon
Hence the mass of Oxygen compound that combines with 12.7g of Carbonin natural occurring ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is = 4/3×12.7 = 16.933g approximately 17.0g
