Q1. Amylum, commonly known as starch is a white powder with variable molecular formula due to the different number of repeating sugar units based on the plant that it is obtained from. A sample of amylum in the form of spherical beads was subjected to series of analyses to determine physicochemical properties in the quality control unit of a factory. From the results each bead is found to have a 4.5 mL volume and 1.47 g/mL density. 4 of the beads were placed in a reaction chamber combusted, as a result, 43.1 g CO, and 14.7 g H2O were obtained. If the molecular weight of the amylum is 972.84 g/mol how many repeating units the starch molecule consist and what is the molecular formula of the starch? [Empirical Formula=CxHyOz, Repeating unit=n, Molecular Formula=( C×H,O2)*n= CnxHnyOnz]

(When answering this problem, report the answer with the appropriate number of significant figures. When entering units, use proper abbreviated units with proper capitalization.)A beverage drink mix sample is prepared by mixing a packet of beverage powder in a gallon (3.78 L) of water. A sample for analysis is prepared by diluting 10.00 mL of this solution in a 50.0 mL volumetric flask. When measured using a colorimeter, this diluted solution has an absorbance of (3.49x10^-1). The calibration curve for the experiment yielded a linear fit of y = 21655x+(1.7950x10^-2) and an R2 value of 0.9911. Determine the molar concentration of food dye in the analyzed sample. Hint: The answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible.

12. A buret is filled with deionized (DI) water and the stopcock is used to adjust the meniscus of the water in the buret to an initial value of 1.06 mL. The stopcock is opened and the DI water is dispensed in a flask. The stopcock is closed and the final buret reading is 15.72 mL. The volume of DI water (mL) in the flask is 14.66 35.34 16.8 14.7
Potassium nitrate was synthesized in an experiment using 10 mL of nitric acid and excess potassium hydroxide. The mass data obtained from the experiment is shown in Table 1 below. Given that the percentage yield of potassium nitrate was 88.3 %, calculate the concentration (% m/v) of the nitric acid used in the experiment. Table 1: Mass data for the synthesis of potassium nitrate from nitric acid and potassium hydroxide Mass of clock glass and crystallized potassium nitrate/ g 45.55 Mass of empty clock glass/ g 39.18
Read the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you the substance is a pure substance or a mixture, if you can. . Sample A is 100. g of a coarse grey powder with a faint unpleasant smell. 15. g of the powder is put into a funnel lined with a sheet of thick paper. Distilled water is poured slowly over the powder. All of the powder disappears, and the water under the funnel turns a deep purple. . Sample B is 100. mL of a clear liquid. The density of the liquid is measured, and turns out to be 0.77 g/mL. The liquid is then cooled in the refrigerator At 10.0 °C crystals begin to appear. The temperature of the liquid continues to decrease as more crystals form, until at 6.2 °C the liquid is entirely solid. Is sample A made from a pure substance or a mixture? If the description of the substance and the outcome of the experiment isn't enough to decide, choose "can't decide." Is sample B made from a pure substance or a…
