The answer would be "This ancient form of pain relief and stimulation is said to benefit patients by blocking channels which practitioners claim allowed pain to travel within the body" because this statement best explains how acupuncture reduces pain.

To support such answer, it must be noted that acupuncture is a traditional Chinese mode of pain-relieving through the insertion of extremely fine needles into the skin at specific points in the body known as "acupoints". This may relieve pain by releasing the hormone known as endorphins (happy hormone), which is the body's natural pain-killers and by affecting the brain part that governs serotonin- brain chemical which involved mood.

A mixture of Na2CO3 and MgCO3 of mass 7.63 g is reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid. The CO2 gas generated occupies a vo
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

58.6 % by mass of Na₂CO₃

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

Na₂CO₃  +  MgCO₃ +  4HCl  →  MgCl₂  +  2NaCl  + 2CO₂  +  2H₂O

Let's find out the moles of CO₂ produced, by the Ideal Gases Law

1.24 atm . 1.67 L = n . 0.082 . 299K

(1.24 atm . 1.67 L / 0.082 . 299K) = n

0.0844 moles = n

Ratio is 2:1, so 2 moles of dioxide were produced by 1 mol of sodium carbonate. Let's make a rule of three:

2 moles of CO₂ were produced by 1 mol of Na₂CO₃

Then, 0.0844 moles of Co₂ would beeen produced by (0.0844 .1)/2  = 0.0422 moles of Na₂CO₃.

Let's convert this moles into mass (mol . molar mass)

0.0422 mol . 106 g/mol = 4.47 g

Finally we can know the mass percent of sodium carbonate in the mixture

(Mass of compound /Total mass) . 100 → (4.47 g / 7.63g) . 100 = 58.6 %

A solution contains 10.0 g pentane, C5H12, 20.0 g hexane, C6H14, and 10.0 g benzene, C6H6. What is the mole fraction of hexane?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

b) 0.47

Explanation:

MwC5H12 = 72.15g/mol

⇒mol C5H12 = (10.0)*(mol/72.15)=0.1386molC5H12

MwC6H14=86.18g/mol

⇒molC6H14=(20.0)*(mol/86.18)=0,232

MwC6H6=78.11g/mol

⇒molC6H6=(10.0)*(mol/78.11)=0.128molC6H6

<h3>XC6H14=(0.232)/(0.1386+0.232+0,128)=0.465≅0.47</h3>

How many grams of chromium metal are plated out when a constant current of 8.00 a is passed through an aqueous solution containi
Oliga [24]
We can solve this without a concrete formula through dimensional analysis. This works by manipulating the units such that you end up with the unit of the final answer. Manipulate them by cancelling units that appear both in the numerator and denominator side. As a result, we must be left with the units of g. The current in A or amperes is equivalent to amount of Coulombs per second. Since this involves Coulombs, we will use the Faraday's constant which is 96,500 C/mol electron. The reaction is:

Cr³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻ --> Cr(s)

This means that for every 3 moles of electron transferred, 1 mole of Chromium metal is plated. The molar mass of Cr: 52 g/mol. The solution is as follows:

Mass of Chromium metal = (8 C/s)(60 s/1 min)(160 min)(1 mol e⁻/96,500 C)(1 mol Cr/3 mol e)(52 g/mol)
<em>Mass of Chromium metal = 13.79 g</em>

How did knowing the number of valence electrons in one of the alien elements help to identify it? Explain how the table was used
lawyer [7]
Knowing the number of valence electrons in one of the alien elements helps in identifying it because the number of valence electrons can help categorize the alien element. Similar elements have the same valence electrons and knowing the category of the element can help further analyze the element.
