Magnesium is lighter than other structural metals, so it is increasingly important in the design of more efficient vehicles. Mg2

+ ions are present in seawater, and the metal is often prepared by "harvesting" these ions and converting them to mg metal. The average magnesium content of the oceans is about 1270 g mg2+ per ton of seawater, and the density of seawater is about 1.03 g/ml. What is the molarity of mg2+ ions in seawater? The design for a concept car calls for 125 kilograms of magnesium per vehicle. How many gallons of seawater would be required to supply enough magnesium to build one of these cars?

The design for a concept car calls for 125 kilograms of magnesium per vehicle. How many gallons of seawater would be required to supply enough magnesium to build one of these cars?

In each ton of sea water the mass of Mg+2 = 1270 grams

one ton = 907185 grams

so volume of one ton of sea water = mass / density = 907185 / 1.03

                                                                                = 880762 mL

Volume of sea water in L = 880.760 L

atomic mass of Mg+2 = 24g/ mole

So moles of Mg+2 in sea water = mass / molar mass = 1270 g / 24 = 52.92 moles

molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution in litres = 52.92 / 880.760 = 0.06 M

PArt 2:

As in each litre of sea water the mass of Mg+2 = 1270g / 880.760 L = 1.442 g/L

So for 1 grams we need = 0.693 L of sea water

For 125 kilograms = 125 X 0.693 X 1000 L

We know that 1L = 0.2642 gallons

so  125 X 0.693 X 1000 L  = 0.2642 X  125 X 0.693 X 1000 L gallons

                    = 22886.33 gallons of sea water will be required

Tema [17]

Answer:

When the operation of the voltaic cell, which is formed of an aluminum and silver strip takes place, the atom of aluminum loses three of its electrons and the Al3+ formed moves within the solution. The Al3+ ion gets dissolved within the solution and the electrons lost in the process moves through the wire and get acquired by the ions of silver, which then get reduced to solid Ag resulting in the mass gain of silver strip.

Select the true statements about denaturation.
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The correct options are: Denaturation of an enzyme will cause a loss of its catalytic activity.

Egg white meringue contains denatured egg white proteins.

A denatured protein has a different tertiary structure than its native state.

 Protein denaturation involves cleavage of its peptide bonds.

Explanation:

Protein denaturation is the breakdown of tertiary or quaternary junctions of proteins, which are the easiest to break compared to primary and secondary.

Denaturation can arise due to a change in pH or due to excess temperature. An enzyme is generally a protein and if it is subjected to acidic acids or high temperatures, it denatures, ceasing to perform its function.

Zymogen is a non-denatured INACTIVE proenzyme, that is why we consider that option false along with those that were not selected.

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

*The model should show the carbon compounds enter as carbon dioxide

*The model should show the carbon compounds exit as 3-carbon molecules

Explanation:

In plants, carbon dioxide (CO2) enters the chloroplast through the stomata and diffuses into the stroma of the chloroplast—the site of the Calvin cycle reactions where sugar is synthesized. The reactions are named after the scientist who discovered them, and reference the fact that the reactions function as a cycle.
