Chemistry Questions

The main purpose of balancing chemical equations is to make the mass of reactants is equal to mass of products obtained after the reaction. Hence, to make law of conservation of mass is purpose of balancing chemica equations.

Carbohydrates are also called as saccharides are molecular compounds made from just three elements:

carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

Carbohydrates are:

* a source of energy for the body e.g. glucose and a store of energy, e.g. starch in plants

* building blocks for polysaccharides (giant carbohydrates), e.g. cellulose in plants and glycogen in the human body

* components of other molecules eg DNA, RNA, glycolipids, glycoproteins, ATP

Types:

1. Monosaccharides (e.g. glucose) and

2. Disaccharides (e.g. sucrose) are relatively small molecules. They are often called sugars.

3. Other carbohydrate molecules are very large called Polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose.

bullet proof material is made up of polymer Poly carbonates.

Silicon carbide is used in Cutting very hard substances.

A mixture is the blending of two or more dissimilar substances.

Characteristics of a Mixture:

1. It has No formula.

2. It is an impure sustance

3. They can be mixed in any ratio.

4. The properties of the mixture are the properties of its constituents.

5. Constituents can e easily seperated by physical methods.
eg: Heating, Drying, Crystallization, Distillation etc...

6. It is either homogenous or heterogenous.

A major characteristic of mixtures is that the materials do not chemically combine. Mixtures can be divided into those that are evenly distributed (homogeneous) and those that aren't (heterogeneous).

Rust forms when oxygen reacts with chemicals in rocks, and that is often the case with many other elements in general. Like a copper nail being exposed to the air will rust.
