Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has received much recent attention because the lactic acid monomer [CH3CH(OH)COOH] from which it is made

can be obtained from carbohydrates rather than petroleum. This makes PLA a more "environmentally friendly" polyester. Draw the structure of PLA.

A certain system absorbs 350 joules of heat and has 230 joules of work done on it what is the value of

According to the law of conservation of mass, the amount of BARIUM present of the reactants is the same as the amount present in the products (the precipitate). 

(11.21 g BaSO4) / (233.4 g/mol BaSO4) = 0.0480 mol BaSO4 and original barium salt 

(10.0 g) / (0.0480 mol) = 208.3 g/mol 

So it must have been BaCl2, because the molar mass of Barium is 137 which leave 71 grams left. Since Barium is a +2 charge, it means the atom next to it must be twice. Chlorine mass is 35, which twice is 71

1. Which of the following is a combination reaction?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter A

Explanation:

A combination reaction is when there are two reactants that gives only one product.

a. 2SO2 + O2—> 2SO3                          This is a combination reaction,

                                                               2 reactants gives one product.

b. Zn + Cu(NO3)2–>Zn(NO3)2 + Cu     This is not a combination reaction,

                                                                it's a single replacement reaction.

c. 2H2O2–> 2H2O+O2                          This is a decomposition reaction

d. AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl+NaNO3        THis is a double replacement reaction.

How to calculate from moles to grams?<br> 4.0 moles of Cu(CN)2
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: The mass of given amount of copper (II) cyanide is 462.4 g

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

We are given:

Moles of copper (II) cyanide = 4 moles

Molar mass of copper (II) cyanide = 115.6 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the mass of given amount of copper (II) cyanide is 462.4 g

What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures? 2.13 + 1 = ?
Paha777 [63]

So,

With addition, we the last digit we keep will be the one which is known for both individual values.

We know 2.13 to the hundredths, but we only know 1 to the ones.  Therefore, we will round off in the ones place.

2.13 + 1 = 3.13 (unrounded)

= 3 (rounded)

Hope this helps!
