A certain compound has the percent composition (by mass) 85.63% C and 14.37% H. The molar mass of the compound is 42.0 g/mol. Ca

Answer:

The molecular formula is C3H6

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the compound has a mass of 100 grams

The compound contains:

85.63 % C = 85.63 grams C

14.37 % H = 14.37 grams H

Molar mass C = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass H = 1.01 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = grams / molar mass

Moles C = 85.63 grams / 12.01 g/mol

Moles C = 7.130 moles

Moles H = 14.37 grams / 1.01 g/mol

Moles H = 14.2 moles

Step 3: Calculate the mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

C: 7.130 moles / 7.130 moles = 1

H = 14.2 moles / 7.130 moles = 2

The empirical formula is CH2

The molar mass of CH2 = 14 g/mol

Step 4: Calculate molecular formula

We have to multiply the empirical formula by n

n = 42 / 14 = 3

n*(CH2) = C3H6

The molecular formula is C3H6

A student investigated the time taken for amylase to breakdown a 10% starch solution into glucose at

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Phenolphthalein is an indicator. It is pink in alkaline solutions and turns colourless as the pH decreases.

It can be used to measure the activity of the enzyme lipase on the breakdown of lipids.

Samples of milk containing phenolphthalein were incubated with lipase at different temperatures.

The time taken for the phenolphthalein to turn colourless was recorded and used to calculate the rate of enzyme activity.

Figure 10 shows these results.

Picture

(a) (i) Explain why phenolphthalein turns colourless when lipase breaks down the lipids in milk. (2)

(ii) Describe the effect of temperature on the activity of lipase, as shown in Figure 10. (2)

(iii) Explain why the activity of lipase changes above a temperature of 40°C. (2)

(b) A student investigated the time taken for amylase to breakdown a 10% starch solution into glucose at 37°C. The student repeated the investigation five times.

How much thermal energy is in 100 grams of water at 50 degrees Celsius

Ymorist [56]

when the thermal energy is the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.

and when the thermal energy is can be determined by this formula:

q = M * C *ΔT

when q is the thermal energy

and M is the mass of water = 100 g

and C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 joules/gram.°C

and T is the difference in Temperature = 50 °C

So by substitution:

∴ q = 100 g * 4.18 J/g.°C * 50

= 20900 J = 20.9 KJ
