Chapter 10, Problem 20Q
What is the name of the substance responsible for the hot flavor of chili peppers, and what is its molecular structure? Use the Internet to find your answers. Also, when chilies are placed in your mouth, why is their burning sensation not greatly affected by drinking water? What drinks would be more effective in reducing this “burning”?

A white powder is added while baking breads and cakes to make them soft and fluffy. Write the name of the powder. Name its main ingredients. Explain the function of each ingredient. Write the chemical reaction taking place when the powder is heated during baking.
A student follows a lab protocol that asks them to make an ‘alcohol’ solution for an experiment. They make a 1.00 L solution by adding 575 g of an alcohol to water. Later they realize that there were three different alcohols sitting on the lab bench and they’re not sure which one they used. The alcohols are: methanol (CH3OH), ethanol (C2H5OH), and butanol (C4H9OH). They decide to boil the solution and they find that it boils at 106.40 °C. Using this information determine which alcohol the student used to make their solution. Density of water is 1.00 g/mL, Kb = 0.513 K/mc. Hint: you need to consider the molar masses of your alcohols.
Consider the following balanced chemical equation:
Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl → 2H2O + MgCl2
How many grams of HCl would be required to neutralize 50.0 grams of Mg(OH)2?
