Answer:

Glycytols or alditols (also called alcoholic sugars) are characterized by being a set of sweet-tasting organic chemical compounds of the polyol family. These compounds are chemically considered hydrogenated carbohydrates whose carbonyl group (aldehyde, ketone, sugar reducer) has been reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group (i.e. an alcohol). Alcoholic sugars have the general formula H (HCHO) n + 1H, while sugars have H (HCHO) nHCO. Food applications are used in modifications as sweeteners to replace sugar (sucrose). Glycytols contain very low calorie contents, and their low fermentability makes them non-cariogenic, that is why it can be found in the package leaflet of some pediatric toothpastes, or Asian chewing gum itself.

Explanation:

When taking too much sorbitol (between 20 to 50 grams) it can have many negative effects by causing gas and abdominal pain and even become a very powerful laxative that even causes diarrhea.

In diabetic patients, it is usually used as a sweetener and prevents spikes in blood glucose because it generates the accumulation of water in the walls of the intestines, delaying the absorption of glucose

What is the mass of nickel(ii) nitrate (182.71 g/mol) dissolved in 25.0 ml of 0.100 m ni(no3)2 solution?
Studentka2010 [4]
The mass  of  ni(NO3)2  that  dissolved  in  25.0 ml  of 0.100m  ni(NO3)2  solution  is  calculated  as   follows

fin  the  number  of  moles   =  molarity   x  volume in  liters

=25  x0.100/ 1000= 2.5  x10^-3  moles
mass  =  mass  x  molar  mass
= 2.5  x10^-3 moles x  182.71 g/mol  = 0.457  grams

Alik [6]
<span>Answer: A 1.00 L solution containing 3.00x10^-4 M Cu(NO3)2 and 2.40x10^-3 M ethylenediamine (en). contains 0.000300 moles of Cu(NO3)2 and 0.00240 moles of ethylenediamine by the formula Cu(en)2^2+ 0.000300 moles of Cu(NO3)2 reacts with twice as many moles of en = 0.000600 mol of en so, 0.00240 moles of ethylenediamine - 0.000600 mol of en reacted = 0.00180 mol en remains by the formula Cu(en)2^2+ 0.000300 moles of Cu(NO3)2 reacts to form an equal 0.000300 moles of Cu(en)2^2+ Kf for Cu(en)2^2+ is 1x10^20. so 1 Cu+2 & 2 en --> Cu(en)2^2+ Kf = [Cu(en)2^2+] / [Cu+2] [en]^2 1x10^20. = [0.000300] / [Cu+2] [0.00180 ]^2 [Cu+2] = [0.000300] / (1x10^20) (3.24 e-6) Cu+2 = 9.26 e-19 Molar since your Kf has only 1 sig fig, you might be expected to round that off to 9 X 10^-19 Molar Cu+2</span>

(A) A chemical reaction takes place in a container of cross-sectional area 100 cm2. As a result of the reaction, a piston is pus
balandron [24]

Answer:

(A) The work done by the system is -101.325J

(B) The workdone by the system is -90.75J

Explanation:

(A) Workdone = -PΔV

Given that A = 100cm2 = 0.01m2

distance d = 10cm = 0.1m

ΔV= Area × distance

ΔV= 0.01 ×0.1

ΔV = 0.001m3

P= external pressure = 1atm = 101325Pa

Workdone = -0.001 × 101325

W= - 101.325Pa m3

1Pam3 = 1J

Therefore W = - 101.325J

The work done on the system is -101.325J

(B) Workdone = -PΔV

Given that A = 50cm2 = 0.005m2

distance d = 15cm = 0.15m

ΔV= Area × distance

ΔV= 0.005×0.15

ΔV = 0.00075m3

P=121kPa = 121000Pa

W= - 121000 × 0.00075

W= -90.75Pa m3

1Pam3 = 1J

W = - 90.75J

The woekdone by the system is -90.75J
