Answer:

Jane has 2.77 * 10^20 molecules cholesterol in 1 dL of blood

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Given data

Molar mass of Cholesterol =  386.654 g/mol

Jane has a cholesterol of 178 mg/dL

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate mass of cholsterol in 1 dL

178 mg/dL means in 1 dL she has 178 mg cholesterol or 0.178 grams

<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate number of moles of cholesterol

Number of moles = mass of cholesterol / molar mass of cholesterol

Number of moles = 0.178 grams / 386.654 g/mol = 4.6 * 10^-4 moles

<u>Step 4: </u>Calculate number of molecules

Number of molecules = 4.6 * 10^-4 mol * 6.022 *10^23 / mol = 2.77 * 10^20 molecules

Jane has 2.77 * 10^20 molecules cholesterol in 1 dL of blood

A chemist is working on a reaction represented by this chemical equation:
erastova [34]

Answer is: A. 1.81 mol.

Balanced chemical reaction: FeCl₂ + 2KOH → Fe(OH)₂ + 2KCl.

n(FeCl₂) = 4.15 mol; amount of iron(II) chloride.

n(KOH) = 3.62 mol; amount of potassium hydroxide, limiting reactant.

From chemical reaction: n(KOH) : n(Fe(OH)₂) = 2 : 1.

n(Fe(OH)₂) = n(KOH) ÷ 2.

n(Fe(OH)₂) = 3.62 mol ÷ 2.

n(Fe(OH)₂) = 1.81 mol; amount of iron(II) hydroxide.

Which of the following shows an accurate combustion reaction?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

  • <em>Cu + O₂  → CuO₂</em>

Explanation:

A <em>combustion reaction</em> is the reaction with oxygen along with the release of energy in form of heat or light.

Organic compounds (like CH₄) undergo combustion forming water and CO₂.

The combustion reaction of CH₄ is:

  • CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

Hence, the first equation from the choices is not showing the combustion reaction of CH₄.

Not only organic compounds can undergo combustion. Metals and no metals can undergo combustion, i.e. metals and no metals can react with oxygen releasing light or heat.

The reaction of copper and oxygen (second choice) is a combustion reaction:

  • <em>Cu + O₂ → CuO₂</em>

The formation of water (2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O) is other example of a combustion reaction where no organic compounds are involved.

On the other hand, the other two equations from the choice list are not reactions with oxygen, so they do not show combustion reactions.

Which of the compounds above are strong enough acids to react almost completely with a hydroxide ion (pka of h2o = 15.74) or wit
luda_lava [24]

The compounds can react with OH⁻ and HCO₃⁻ only C₅H₆N pyridinium

<h3><em>Further explanation </em></h3>

In an acid-base reaction, it can be determined whether or not a reaction occurs by knowing the value of pKa or Ka from acid and conjugate acid (acid from the reaction)

Acids and bases according to Bronsted-Lowry

Acid = donor (donor) proton (H + ion)

Base = proton (receiver) acceptor (H + ion)

If the acid gives (H +), then the remaining acid is a conjugate base because it accepts protons. Conversely, if a base receives (H +), then the base formed can release protons and is called the conjugate acid from the original base.

From this, it can be seen whether the acid in the product can give its proton to a base (or acid which has a lower Ka value) so that the reaction can go to the right to produce the product.

The step that needs to be done is to know the pKa value of the two acids (one on the left side and one on the right side of the arrow), then just determine the value of the equilibrium constant

Can be formulated:

K acid-base reaction = Ka acid on the left : K acid on the right.

or:

pK = acid pKa on the left - pKa acid on the right

K = equilibrium constant for acid-base reactions

pK = -log K;

K~=~10^{-pK}

K value> 1 indicates the reaction can take place, or the position of equilibrium to the right.

There is some data that we need to complete from the problem above, which is the pKa value of some compounds that will react, namely:

pyridinium pKa = 5.25

acetone pKa = 19.3

butan-2-one pKa = 19

Let's look at the K value of each possible reaction:

pka H₂O = 15.74, pka of H₂CO₃ = 6.37)

  • 1. C₅H₆N pyridinium

* with OH⁻

C₅H₆N + OH- ---> C₅H₅N- + H₂O

pK = pKa pyridinium - pKa H₂O

pK = 5.25 - 15.74

pK = -10.49

K~=~10^{4.9}

K values> 1 indicate the reaction can take place

* with HCO3⁻

C₅H₆N + HCO₃⁻-- ---> C₅H₅N⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 5.25 - 6.37

pK = -1.12

K`=~10^{1.12]

Reaction can take place

  • 2. Acetone C₃H₆O

* with OH-

C₃H₆O + OH⁻ ---> C₃H₅O- + H₂O

pK = 19.3 - 15.74

pK = 3.56

K~=~10^{ -3.56}

Reaction does not happen

* with HCO₃-

C₃H₆O + HCO₃⁻ ----> C₃H₅O⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 19.3 - 6.37

pK = 12.93

K`=~10 ^{-12.93}

Reaction does not happen

  • 3. butan-2-one C₄H₇O

* with OH-

C₄H₇O + OH- ---> C₄H₆O- + H₂O

pK = 19 - 15.74

pK = 3.26

K~=~10^{-3.26}

Reaction does not happen

* with HCO₃⁻

C₄H₇O + HCO₃⁻ ---> C₄H₆O⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 19 - 6.37

pK = 12.63

K~=~ 10^{-12.63}

Reaction does not happen

So that can react with OH⁻ and HCO₃⁻ only C₅H₆N pyridinium

The Lewis structure for CO2 has a central The Lewis structure for C O 2 has a central blank atom attached to blank atoms.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

1) The Lewis structure for  CO_2 has a central Carbon<em> </em>atom attached to Oxygen atoms.

In the CO_2  we will have a structure:  O=C=O the <u>central atom</u> "carbon" we will have <u>2 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds</u>, therefore, we have an <u>Sp hybridization</u>. For O we have <u>1 pi and 1 sigma bond</u>, therefore, we have an <u>Sp2 hybridization</u>.

2) These atoms are held together by <u>double bonds.</u>

<u></u>

Again in the structure of CO_2: O=C=O we only have double bonds.

3. Carbon dioxide has a Carbon dioxide has a <u>Linear</u> electron geometry.

Due to the double bonds we have to have a linear structure because in this geometry the atoms will be further apart from each other.

4. The carbon atom is <u>Sp</u> hybridized.

We will have for carbon 2 pi bonds, so we will have an <u>Sp</u> hybridization.

5. Carbon dioxide has two Carbon dioxide has two C(p) - O(p) π bonds and two C(sp) - O(Sp2) σ bonds.

(See figures)

The average concentration of bromde ion in seawater is 65 mg of bromide ion per kg of seawater. what is the molarity of the brom
allsm [11]
Usually concentrations are expressed as molarity, or moles of solute per liter solution. First, convert the mass of bromide ion to moles. The molar mass of bromine is 79.904 g/mol.

Moles of bromine = 65 mg * 1 g/1000 mg * 1 mol/79.904 g = 8.135×10⁻⁴ moles

Next, convert the mass of seawater to volume using the density.

Volume of seawater =  1 kg * 1 m³/ 1,025 kg * 1000 L/1 m³ = 0.976 L

Thus,
Molarity = 8.135×10⁻⁴ moles/0.976 L = 8.335×10⁻⁴ M
