Response: A. The removal of a water molecule between each pair of units

Explanation: Carbohydrates are polymers formed by linking monomer units of monosaccharides.

Amino acids serve as the building blocks of proteins, meaning they are the smallest units that combine to form protein polymers.

Thus, when two monosaccharide monomers are linked, a condensation reaction occurs, eliminating a molecule of water. This same process applies to protein formation.

Therefore, option (A) is the correct choice.

When 1.34 g Zn(s) reacts with 60.0 mL of 0.750 M HCl(aq), 3.14 kJ of heat are produced. Determine the enthalpy change per mole o
Alekssandra [3086]

Answer: The change in enthalpy for each mole of zinc involved in the reaction is 152.4 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

First, we need to determine the moles of Zn and HCl.

\text{Moles of }Zn=\frac{\text{Mass of }Zn}{\text{Molar mass of }Zn}

The molar mass of Zn is 65 g/mole

\text{Moles of }Zn=\frac{1.34g}{65g/mole}=0.0206mole

and,

\text{Moles of }HCl=\text{Concentration of }HCl\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.750M\times 0.0600=0.0450mole

Next, we must identify the limiting reagent and the excess reagent.

The chemical reaction given is:

Zn(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow ZnCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)

According to the balanced reaction we find that

1 mole of Zn reacts with 2 moles of HCl

Thus, 0.0206 moles of Zn react with 0.0206\times 2=0.0412 moles of HCl

This leads us to determine that HCl is the excess reagent because the moles provided exceed the required moles, while Zn is limiting and restricts product formation.

Now to find the enthalpy change for each mole of zinc reacting in this reaction.

From the reaction we gather that,[ [TAG_59]]

0.0206 moles of Zn yield heat = 3.14 kJ

This implies that 1 mole of Zn generates heat = \frac{3.14kJ}{0.0206mol}=152.4kJ/mol

Hence, the enthalpy change per mole of zinc involved in this reaction amounts to 152.4 kJ/mol.

In a coffee-cup calorimeter experiment, 10.00 g of a soluble ionic compound was added to the calorimeter containing 75.0 g h2o i
VMariaS [2998]
Given: Mass of the ionic compound = 10.00 g Mass of water = 75.0 g Initial temperature of water T1= 23.2 C Final temperature of water T2 = 31.8 C Specific heat of water c = 4.18 J/gC To determine: Enthalpy of dissolution of the ionic compound Heat gained by water equation: Q = mcΔT m = mass of water c = specific heat ΔT = change in temperature (T2-T1) Q = 75.0 g * 4.18 J/gC * (31.8-23.2)C = 2696 J Thus, the heat gained by water equals heat lost by the ionic compound (enthalpy of dissolution) Therefore, q(ionic) = 2696 J ΔH = q(ionic)/mass of ionic compound = 2696 J/10.00 g = 2.7 *10² J/g Answer: A) enthalpy change = 2.7*10² J/g
