Interpretation:
Sucrose is heated to higher temperatures before it gets caramelized. The reason has to be given for the caramelization of sugar only at high temperatures using the kinetic molecular theory.
Concept Introduction:
Kinetic molecular theory:
This theory explains the laws that describe the behaviour of gases. It is based on five postulates.
1. A gas is composed of a large number of particles which are called molecules that are in constant random motion.
2. The distance between gas molecules is much greater than the size of molecules. Hence, the volume of the molecules is negligible.
3. Intermolecular interactions are so weak. Hence, they are also negligible.
4. Gas molecules collide with one another and with the walls of the container. These collisions are elastic collisions. They do not change the average kinetic energy of the molecules.
5. The average kinetic energy of the molecules depends only on the temperature.

- Suppose that you are closing a cabin in the north woods for the winter and you do not want the water in the toilet tank to freeze. You know that the temperature might get as low as 30. C, and you want to protect about 4.0 L water in the toilet tank from freezing. Calculate the volume of ethylene glycol (density = 1.113 g/mL; molar mass = 62.1 g/mol) you should add to the 4.0 L water.arrow_forwardTrue or false? Mixtures always result in a chemical reaction because they consist of two or more substances and thus combine to create a new product.arrow_forwardsolution is a homogeneous mixture. Can you give an example of a gaseous homogeneous mixture? A liquid homogeneous mixture? A solid homogeneous mixture?arrow_forward
- When calcium oxalate monohydrate is heated, anhydrous calcium oxalate and water are formed. Further decomposition of the calcium oxalate produces calcium carbonate and carbon monoxide. If the heating temperature is increased to well above 600 degrees celsius, calcium carbonate will decompose to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Write three reactions to depict the decomposition processess described here.arrow_forwardAt certain pressures, ClF forms a solid that sublimes when heated. Using a few words and a simple diagram, explain what is happening when ClF sublimes upon heating. Be sure your answer describes the differences in the two states of matter.arrow_forward1. Seawater is composed of salt, sand, and water. Is seawater a heterogenous mixture or homogenous mixture? 2. Suppose there are four unknowns in bottles: three of the bottles are solutions and one is a pure substance. How are you going to determine which of the unknown is a pure substance?arrow_forward
