Page 13 of 16 !! Next O Previous Hydrogen peroxide is used as a cleaning agent in the treatment of cuts and abrasions for several reasons. It is an oxidizing agent that can directly kill many microorganisms; it decomposes upc inhibits the growth of anaerobic microorganisms), and it foams upon contact with blood, which provides a cleansing action. In the laboratory, small quantities of hydrogen peroxide can be prepa such as barium peroxide. BaO2(s) + HC1(aq) → H2O2(aq) +BaCl2 (aq) What amount of hydrogen peroxide should result when 1.21 g of barium peroxide is treated with 26.5 mL of hydrochloric acid solution containing 0.0275 g of HCl per mL? g H2O2 Cengage Learning | Cengage Technical Support P Type here to search
What is the balanced chemical equation for each of the following compounds and calculate the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) for each. Toulene - C7H8 Propionic Acid - C3H6O2 Benzene - C6H6
The name carbohydrate comes from the fact that many simple sugars have chemical formulae that look like water has simply been added to carbon. (The suffix hydrate from the Greek word hydor ("water") means "compound formed by the addition of water.") The actual chemical structure of carbohydrates doesn't look anything like water molecules bonded to carbon atoms (see sketch at right). But it is nevertheless possible to chemically extract all the hydrogen and oxygen from many simple carbohydrates as water, leaving only carbon behind. If you search the Internet for "reaction of sulfuric acid and sugar" you will find some impressive videos of this. Suppose you had (200. g) of ordinary table sugar, which chemists call sucrose, and which has the chemical formula C12H₂2011. Calculate the maximum mass of water you could theoretically extract. Be sure your answer has alunit symbol, and round it to 3 significant digits. 0 HO CH₂OH OH OH OH The actual chemical structure of glucose.
