<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is the ratio of oxygen atoms to hydrogen atoms in a molecule of sugar is 2 to 1.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical formula for table sugar is $C_{12}H_{11}O_{22}$ .

The above compound contains 12 atoms of carbon atom, 11 atoms of hydrogen and 22 atoms of oxygen.

The ratio of oxygen atoms to hydrogen atoms is $22:11::2:1$ and the ratio of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms in a molecule of sugar is $12:11$

An oxygen atom contains 8 protons and a carbon atoms has 6 electrons.

Hence, the correct statement is the ratio of oxygen atoms to hydrogen atoms in a molecule of sugar is 2 to 1.

Which pack has the greatest change in enthalpy, warm packs (such as hand warmers) or cold packs (such as an ice pack)?

katrin [286]

Enthalpy is the change in energy. A cold pack will react endothermically and enthalpy will be positive and a heat pack will have negative enthalpy. You cannot determine which has more change in enthalpy unless you measure the temperature change. Eg. a heat pack went from 25c to 35c will have greater change in enthalpy then a cold pack going from 25 to 20c because the net temperature difference is greater

The activation energy for the reaction NO2 (g )+ CO (g) ⟶ NO (g) + CO2 (g) is Ea = 218 kJ/mol and the change in enthalpy for the

madreJ [45]

Answer:

$470\frac{KJ}{mol}$

Explanation:

The activation energy represents the energy barrier that reagents must pass to transform into products (or products to transform into reagents in a reverse reaction)

For any reaction, the change in enthalpy is related to the activation energy by the equation

$\Delta H =E_{a\ direct}-E_{a\ reverse}$

So, the activation energy for the reverse reaction is

$E_{a\ reverse}=E_{a\ direct}-\Delta H =218 \frac{KJ}{mol} - (-252)\frac{KJ}{mol}=470\frac{KJ}{mol}$

How does atomic radius change from top to bottom in a group in the periodic table?

suter [353]

The atomic radius increases as you would go down a particular group on the periodic table of elements. This is because along with a greater number of protons, there would also be electrons as well, and thus the need of electron shells surrounding the atom would also be required, to compensate for the more electrons, as according to the bohr model, each shell contains 8 electrons in its electron shell. Thus the distance from the nucleus to the outermost shell increases, the atomic radius.
