As part of a science experiment, Jose did a test for starch on a slice of apple and a slice of potato. The yellow-orange iodine

solution stayed the same color when it was put on the apple, but it became black on the potato.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Iodine solution is used to test for starch.  A positive test for starch gives a blue-black color.

The fact that the color of the apple remained the same is indicative of the fact that starch was not contained in the apple.

A change in the color of potato indicates the presence of starch in the potato.

The fact that iodine did not react with apple should not be taken to mean that apples contain no starch at all. Starch changes gradually to sugar as fruits ripen. This is why the apple gave a negative test for starch.

. Sulfur dioxide can be produced in the laboratory by the reaction of hydrochloric acid and a sulfite salt such as sodium sulfit
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Mass of SO₂ can be made from 25.0 g of Na₂SO₃ and 22 g of HCl = 12.672 g

Explanation:

SO₂( sulfur dioxide) can be produced in the lab. by the reaction of hydrochloric acid & sulphite salt such as sodium.

        the balanced chemical equation is as follows

                       Na₂SO₃ + 2 HCl → 2 NaCl + SO₂ + H₂O

Moles of Na₂SO₃ = \frac{Mass}{Molecular mass} =\frac{25}{126} = 0.198

Moles of HCl = \frac{mass}{molecular mass}=\frac{22}{36.5}= 0.6

using mole ratio method to find limiting reagent

      For sodium sulfite \frac{mole}{stoichiometry}  = \frac{0.198}{1}= 0.198

 for HCl \frac{mole}{stoichiometry}  = \frac{0.6}{2}= 0.3

since <u>sodium sulfite</u> is <u>limiting reactant</u> for above chemical reaction

1 mole of Na₂SO₃ produce 1 mole of SO₂

0.198 mole of Na₂SO₃ produce 0.198 mole of SO₂

∴ Mass of SO₂ produce = mole x molar mass of SO₂

                                       = 0.198 x 64

                                       = 12.672 g

There are three factors in which natural selection occurs. Select one statement from the list below that is a true statement abo
azamat

Answer: There is no list in your question. But the three factors in which natural selection occurs are:

1. A struggle for existence,

2. Variation and

3. Inheritance

Explanation:

Darwin’s theory of natural selection is the way in which organisms change overtime.

These changes allow organisms to become better adapted to their environment and increase their chances for survival.

The three major factors through which natural selection occurs are:

1. A struggle for existence,

2. Variation and

3. Inheritance

Darwin’s theory of natural selection will occur if the three conditions above are met and unless these factors are in place, natural selection will not occur.

Consider the reaction of 19.0 g of zinc metal with excess silver nitrate to produce silver metal and zinc nitrate. The reaction
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

14.5 g silver

Explanation:

This is a problem using the stoichiometry of the reaction. First thing we need is the balanced equation:

   Zn + 2 AgNO3 ----------------------- 2 Ag + Zn(NO3)2

We know that 14.6 g of Zn did not reacted, then we can calculate the amount of Zn reacted and do the calculation given the above reaction.

amount Zn reacted: 19.0 -14.6 g Zn = 4.4 g Zn

atomic weight of Zn:  65.37 g/mol

mol Zn reacted: 4.4 g Zn x ( 1 mol Zn/ 65.37 g Zn) = 0.067 mol Zn

We know from the balanced equation that moles of Ag are produced from 1 mol Zn therefore the mol of Ag produced are:

0.067 mol Zn x 2 mol Ag/ 1mol Zn = 0.135 mol Ag

and the mass of silver then will be given by multiplying by the atomic weight of silver:

0.135 mol Ag x  107.9 g/mol = 14.5 g Ag
