The gleaming metallic appearance of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, comes from the stainless steel used in its construction. This steel is made mostly of iron, but it also contains 19% (by mass) chromium and 9.0% (by mass) nickel. Stainless steel maintains its metallic sheen because the chromium and nickel in it combine with oxygen from the atmosphere, forming a layer of Cr2O3 and NiO that is too thin to detract from the luster of the steel but that protects the metal beneath from further corrosion. What is the mole ratio of chromium to nickel atoms in this steel?

Why do you suppose the structural polysaccharide cellulose does not contain branches? why do you suppose the structural polysaccharide cellulose does not contain branches? branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into globules, thereby decreasing the flexibility and strength of the globules. branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into microfibrils, thereby increasing the rigidity and strength of the microfibrils. branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into globules, thereby increasing the flexibility and strength of the globules. branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into microfibrils, thereby decreasing the rigidity and strength of the microfibrils.
