What is the proper name for vinegar?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: acetic acid is the scientific name for vinegar

Answer 2

Answer: The word "vinegar" derives from the French vin aigre, meaning "sour wine." Its called Acetic acid or Ethanoic acid.
Its chemical formula is : CH3COOH or HC2H3O2.

The proper name for vinegar is vinegar.
It consists of roughly 15% acetic acid and 85% water, with a small amount of natural vegetable colorants and volatiles (hence the differences in colours and odours between brown vinegar, white vinegar, cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, etc.)

The acid in vinegar is indeed acetic acid; however, 90 percent of all the acetic acid on the market is made in chemical plants. Almost all of that - 83 percent of the total - is made by reacting methanol and carbon monoxide in the formula

CH3OH + CO -> CH3COOH

The rest is made by oxidizing either acetaldehyde or ethylene.

Vinegar is always made by fermenting fruit juices. It is a two-stage process, in which yeasts convert fruit juice to wine, then acetobacter bacteria convert the alcohol in wine to acetic acid. Because many nations' food laws prohibit the use of vinegar in edibles that is not made through the fermentation of fruit juice, they are very careful to only call fruit juice-derived acetic acid "vinegar."

What is Aqua Auras mineral family/class?

Answers

Aqua Auras belong to the Quartz family. It's a synthetic type of Quarts that was enhanced with the help of gold coating, and sometimes other materials. The reason why it's called as aqua is because of its distinctive blue color thanks to the procedure which made it.

How does temperature impact the mixture of ethanol and water?????????????

Answers

The temperature impact the mixture ethanol and water because of the ions that exist between them. As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules is high because there is room for movement.

A certain substance melts at a temperature of . But if a sample of is prepared with of urea dissolved in it, the sample is found to have a melting point of instead. Calculate the molal freezing point depression constant of . Round your answer to significant digits.

Answers

Answer:

2.2 °C/m

Explanation:

It seems the question is incomplete. However, this problem has been found in a web search, with values as follow:

" A certain substance X melts at a temperature of -9.9 °C. But if a 350 g sample of X is prepared with 31.8 g of urea (CH₄N₂O) dissolved in it, the sample is found to have a melting point of -13.2°C instead. Calculate the molal freezing point depression constant of X. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. "

So we use the formula for freezing point depression:

ΔTf = Kf * m

In this case, ΔTf = 13.2 - 9.9 = 3.3°C

m is the molality (moles solute/kg solvent)

350 g X ⇒ 350/1000 = 0.35 kg X

31.8 g Urea ÷ 60 g/mol = 0.53 mol Urea

Molality = 0.53 / 0.35 = 1.51 m

So now we have all the required data to solve for Kf:

ΔTf = Kf * m

3.3 °C = Kf * 1.51 m

Kf = 2.2 °C/m

50 grams of acetic acid C2H4O2 are dissolved in 200 g of water. Calculate the weight % and mole fraction of the acetic acid in the solution

Answers

$50g$ $of$ $C_2H_4O_2$ $in$ $200g$ $H_2O$

so:

$(50)/(200+50)+100\%= (50*100)/(250)\%=20\%$

$MW of acid = 2*C+4*H+2*O = 2*12+4*1+2*16=$

$=24+4+32=60g/mol$

so:

$(50g)/(60g/mol)\approx0.83moles$

it means that

in $50g$ of acid there is $\approx0.83$ moles of acid

$MW of H_2O = 2*H+O=2*1+16=2+16=18g/mol$

so:

$(200g)/(18g/mol)\approx11.11moles$

it means that:

in $200g$ of water there is $\approx11.11$ moles of water

therefore:

$(0.83mol)/(11.11mol+0.83mol)= (0.83mol)/(11.94mol)=0.069$

So your answers are:

$20\%$

and the mole fraction is:

$0.069$

Mendeleev’s principle of chemical periodicity states that when the elements are arranged according to their atomic numbers. This periodic law allows elements with similar properties to appear at regular intervals. Predict the group of elements and their number of valence electrons that will combine in a 2:1 ratio to with sodium. A)bromine, chlorine, iodine, 7
B)
sulfur, selenium, polonium, 6
Eliminate
C)
hydrogen, fluorine, potassium, 1
D)
calcium, phosphorus, tellurium, 2

Answers

The correct option is B.

Sodium will react with elements in GROUP 6, WHICH HAVE SIX ELECTRONS IN THEIR OUTERMOST SHELLS.

Sodium is a metal with atomic number 11. The electronic configuration of sodium is 2,8,1. This implies that, sodium has one electron in its outermost shell. Sodium always donate this electron in order to become stable. Elements in group 6 have six electrons in their outermost shells and they require two more electrons to attain stability. In order to form chemical bonds with elements from group 6, two atoms of sodium will react with each atom of those elements, that is, the ratio of reaction will be 2:1. By so doing, the two sodium atoms will be the ones that will donate the two electrons that the group 6 elements need to attain stability. One example of compounds formed by such reaction is sodium sulfide, Na2S.

The main part of this question is the "2:1 ratio."

On the periodic table, bromine, chlorine, and iodine have 7 valence electrons and sulfur, selenium, and polonium have 6, so these choices are viable based on their valence electrons. However, fluorine does not have 1 valence electron and phosphorus and tellurium do not have 2 valence electrons, so C) and D) are automatically out, leaving A) and B).

If we know that the sodium will combine in a 2:1 ratio, we know that the charge of the ions must have a 2:1 ratio too; that's how ionic compounds work. Sodium (Na) has an ion with a charge of +1 (Na+), so that means whatever ion it combines with in a 2:1 ratio must have a charge of -2 - a 2:1 ratio.

Bromine, chlorine, and iodine have a charge of -1, but sulfur, selenium, and polonium have charges of -2. This gives us the correct answer as C).

How could you safely determine if a base is stronger than an acid?

Answers

Combine the two solutions. If the resulting salt is basic, you know the base was stronger. If you end up with an acidic salt, the acid was stronger.

Answer:

B) Use a conductivity apparatus

Explanation:

I got it right on Plato. Strong acids and strong bases will conduct more than weak acids and weak bases, so you can tell if one is stronger than the other by seeing which one conducts more.
