Carbohydrates like sugars and starches are made of only three elements: carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). How is it poss

ible that so many different carbohydrates can be formed using only these three elements?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A carbohydrate is formed from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. These three elements are combined in every carbohydrate.

Even though carbohydrates are composed of only these three atoms, the number of atoms of these elements in each carbohydrate as well as the spatial arrangement of these atoms in each carbohydrate is not the same.

This means that different carbohydrates contain different number of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms which are arranged in different ways in space. This gives room for the existence of many different types of carbohydrates all consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Aleks [24]

Hey there!:

K = Ka * Kb / Kw

Ka = 1.8*10⁻⁴

Kb = 10⁻¹⁴ / 6.8*10⁻⁴

K =  1.8*10⁻⁴ * ( 10⁻¹⁴/ 6.8*10⁻⁴ ) * ( 1 / 10⁻¹⁴ )

K =  = 1.8 / 6.8

K = 0.265

Answer A

Therefore:

K is less than on the forward reaction is not favorable .


Hope That helps!

Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxid
kiruha [24]

Answer:

-471 Kj/mole acrylic acid

Explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide: CaC (s) + 2 H2O(g) - CH (9) + Ca(OH),(s) AH -414. kJ In the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid: 6 C H (9) + 3 CO2(9) + 4H2O(g) - SCH,CHCO,H) AH-132. kJ Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. Round your answer to the nearest kJ. x 5 ?

The two equations from the reaction can be written as;

a)CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) ------->C₂H₂(g) + CaOH₂(s)

Δ H= -414Kj ........................ equation (a)

b)6C₂H₂(g) +3CO₂(g)+4H₂O(g) -------> 5CH₂CHCO₂H(g) Δ H= 132Kj ...................... equation (b)

In equation (b)acrylic acid was produced by the reaction between Acetylene carbon dioxide and water

Then we can multiply equation(a) by factor of 6 and the ΔH Then we have (6× -414Kj)= ΔH= -2484Kj.

6CaC₂(s) + 12H₂O(l) ------->6C₂H₂(g) + 6CaOH₂(s)

Δ H= -2484Kj.................. equation (c)

6C₂H₂(g) +3CO₂(g)+4H₂O(g) -------> 5CH₂CHCO₂H(g) Δ H= 132Kj

Then add equation (c) and equation(b) then we have

6CaC₂(s) + 16H₂O(l)+3CO₂(g)------> 5CH₂CHCO₂H(g) + 6CaOH₂(s) ΔH= -2352Kj

ΔH(net)= -2352Kj/5moles

=-471Kj/mole

therefore, net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. Round your answer to the nearest kJ. x 5 ? is -471Kj/mole acrylic acid

One mole of an ideal gas is contained in a cylinder with a movable piston. The temperature is constant at 77°C. Weights are remo
frozen [14]

Answer:

The total work is 4957.45J

Explanation:

For an ideal gas, at constant temperature the definition of work (W) is

W = - P.dV = - n.R.T \int\limits^i_f {\frac{dV}{V} \\W = - n.R.T. Ln (\frac{V_{f}}{V_{I}})\\W = - n.R.T. Ln (\frac{P_{i}}{P_{f}})

where P is the pressure, V the volume, n the moles number, T the temperature and R the gas constant.

To solve the problem is necessary to replace the two steps in the equation

Stape 1: n  = 1 mol, R = 0.082atm.L/K.mol, T = 77ºC = 350K, Pi = 5.50atm and Pf = 2.43atm.

W_{1} = - 1molx0.082\frac{atm.L}{K.mol}x350KxLn (\frac{5.50atm}{2.43atm}) = 23.44atm.Lx101.325\frac{J}{atm.L} =2375.44J

Stape 2: n  = 1 mol, R = 0.082atm.L/K.mol, T = 77ºC = 350K, Pi = 2.43atm and Pf = 1.00atm.

W_{2} = - 1molx0.082\frac{atm.L}{K.mol}x350KxLn (\frac{2.43atm}{1.00atm}) = 25.48atm.Lx101.325\frac{J}{atm.L} =2582.01J

The total work is the sum of the two steps

W = W_{1} + W_{2} = 2375.44J + 2582.01J = 4957.45J
