As part of a science experiment, Jose did a test for starch on a slice of apple and a slice of potato. The yellow-orange iodine

solution stayed the same color when it was put on the apple, but it became black on the potato.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Iodine solution is used to test for starch.  A positive test for starch gives a blue-black color.

The fact that the color of the apple remained the same is indicative of the fact that starch was not contained in the apple.

A change in the color of potato indicates the presence of starch in the potato.

The fact that iodine did not react with apple should not be taken to mean that apples contain no starch at all. Starch changes gradually to sugar as fruits ripen. This is why the apple gave a negative test for starch.

Answer:

The answer to your question is:    C₂H₆O₁   = C₂H₆O

Explanation:

Data

CxHyOz

mass = 40 g  produced 76.40 g of CO2

                                       46.96 g of H2O

Empirical formula = ?

Process

                         CxHyOz    + O2    ⇒    CO2  + H2O

                         44g of CO2 --------------------  12 g of Carbon

                         76.40 g of CO2 --------------- x

                          x = 20.84 g of Carbon

                         12 g of Carbon ---------------  1 mol

                         20.84 g of C    ---------------   x

                         x = (20.84 x 1) / 12

                         x = 1.74 mol of Carbon

                        18 g of H2O --------------------  2 g of H

                        46.96 g of H2O --------------   x

                        x = (46.96 x 2) / 18

                        x = 5.22 g of H

                        1 g of H ------------------------  1 mol of H

                        5.22 g of H -------------------   x

                        x = 5.22 mol of H

Mass of Oxygen = 40 - 20.84 - 5.22g

                           = 13.94 g

                         16 g of Oxygen ----------------  1 mol

                         13.94 g of O --------------------   x

                         x = 0.87 mol of O

Divide by the lowest number of moles

Carbon = 1.74 / 0.87 = 2

Hydrogen = 5.22 / 0.87 = 6

Oxygen = 0.87 / 0.87 = 1

                           

Empirical formula

                                 C₂H₆O₁   = C₂H₆O

Which statement about gases is true? A. They are made up of particles that always move very slowly. B. They are made up of parti
rosijanka [135]

Answer: D. They are made up of hard spheres that are in random motion.

Explanation:

A gas is a <u>state of aggregation of matter</u> in which, under certain conditions of temperature and pressure, <u>its molecules interact weakly with each other, without forming molecular bonds</u>, adopting the shape and volume of the container that contains them and tending to separate everything possible because of its <u>high concentration of kinetic energy</u>.

The molecules of a gas are practically <u>free</u> and have the ability to be distributed throughout the space in which they are contained because <u>the gravitational forces and attraction between them are practically negligible</u> compared to the speed at which they move. .

Therefore, gas molecules do not travel specific trajectories or vibrate in a stationary position, instead <u>they move quickly and randomly through the entire space of the container that contains them.</u>

Which of the following compounds would be most effective in lowering the melting point of ice on roads? a) CaCl2 b) NaCl C) K3PO
Mrac [35]
I'm not 100% sure on this, but I would go with C) NaCl. 
NaCl is a salt, and that is used to melt the ice on the roads. Hope this helps!
