D.) There must be an equal number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation
Answer:
Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of alpha D gluose and beta D fructose linked together by beta 2,alpha1 glycosidic linkage.
Explanation:
The specificity of glycosidic linkage very much essential to choose the substrate for the synthesis of specific disaccharide.
For example sucrose contain beta 2,alpha1 glycosidic linkage that means the hydroxyl group of anomeric carbon of one monosaccharide(fructose) should remain in beta conformation and the hydroxyl group of other monosaccharide(glucose) should remain in alpha conformation.
Answer:
The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide is 85:42.
2.5559 kg of Zn are in 3.82 kg of ZnS.
Explanation:
a) Mass of zinc sulfide = 254 g
Mass of zinc in a zinc sulfide sample = 170 g
Mass of sulfide in zinc sulfide sample = x
254 g = 170 g+ x
x = 84 g
The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide:
b) Mass of zincsulfide sample = 3.83 kg
The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide is 85:42.
Let the mass of zinc and sulfide be 85x and 42x respectively:
85 x+ 42 x=3.82 kg
x =0.03007 kg
Mass of an zinc= 85x=85 × 0.03007 kg= 2.5559 kg
<span>Heavy metals like mercury enter waterways by industrial dumping and poor regulatioin of effluent, and they also enter soil through a similar manner, in which waste is disposed of imporperly. Another source of heavy metals are the gases leaving industry carrying these metals. The metals fall as a solid on to soil and water ways. Therefore, the answer is D.</span>
Answer:
- <em>To balance a chemical equation it may be necessary to adjust the </em><u>coefficients.</u>
Explanation:
The <em>coefficients</em> of a <em>chemical equation</em> are the numbers that you put in front of each reactant and product. They are used to balance the equation and comply with the law of mass conservation.
By adjusting the coefficients you obtain the relative amounts (moles) of each product and reactant, i.e. the mole ratios.
Here an example.
The first information is what is called a word equation. E.g. nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia:
- Word equation: hydrogen + nitrogen → ammonia
- Skeleton equation: H₂ + N₂ → NH₃
This equation shows the chemical formulae but it is not balanced. The law of mass conservation is not observed.
So, in order to comply with the law of mass conservation you adjust the coefficients as follow.
- Balanced chemical equation: 3H₂ + N₂ → 2NH₃
As you see, it was necessary to modify the coefficients. Now the law of conservation of mass is observed and you get the mole ratios:
- 3 mol H₂ : 1 mol N₂ : 2 mol NH₃
