A soft drink contains 11.5% sucrose (C12H22O11) by mass. How much sucrose, in grams, is contained in 355 mL (12 oz) of the soft
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

42.5 g

Explanation:

Calculate the mass of the soft drink given the density and volume:

355 mL × 1.04 g/mL = 369.2 g

Now calculate the mass of sucrose given the percentage:

0.115 × 369.2 g = 42.46 g

Rounded to 3 significant figures, the mass is 42.5 g.

A poisoned pill contains 0.00048 moles of KCN. How many molecules are in this sample?
mario62 [17]

Answer:

2.89 \times  {10}^{20}  \:  \: molecules

Explanation:

The number of molecules of KCN can be found by using the formula

<h3>N = n × L</h3>

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

N = 0.00048 × 6.02 × 10²³

We have the final answer as

2.89 \times  {10}^{20}  \:  \:  \: molecules

Hope this helps you

2KOH+H2SO4=k2SO4+2H2O Is a balanced equation, displaying the combination of potassium hydroxide with sulfuric acid increase pota
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The number of moles of potassium hydroxide, KOH required to make 4 moles of K₂SO₄ is 8 moles of KOH

Explanation:

2KOH + H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

From the above reaction, we have 2 moles of KOH combining with 1 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1 mole of K₂SO₄  and 2 moles of H₂O.

Therefore the number of moles of potassium hydroxide that will be needed to make 4 moles of K₂SO₄ is;

8KOH + 4H₂SO₄ → 4K₂SO₄ + 8H₂O

8 moles of KOH is required to make 4 moles of K₂SO₄.
