Answer:

6.074 X 10¹⁸ molecules.

Explanation:

Molecular mass(MM) of this compound C₂₇H₄₆O

= 27*(MM of C) + 46*(MM of H) + (MM of O)

= 27*(12.0107) + 46* (1.00784) + (15.999)

= 324.2889 + 46.36064 + 15.999

=386.64854 g

The mass of a mole of any compound is called it's molar mass. 1 molar mass has 6.022 X 10²³, or Avogadro's number, C₂₇H₄₆O molecules.

If 386.64854 g of C₂₇H₄₆O has 6.022 X 10²³ molecules of  cholesterol, then

3.9mg or 0.0039g of C₂₇H₄₆O will have how many molecules?..

Using unitary method:

Number of molecules = \frac{0.0039 * 6.022 *10^{23} }{386.64854}

= 6.074 X 10¹⁸ molecules.

During photosynthesis, sunlight shining on a plant is absorbed. Through several chemical reactions, the plant produces sugar, a
weeeeeb [17]
The change is thermal energy to chemical energy.  Sugar contains a lot of chemical potential energy which is why living things use it as a source of energy.  The process of photo synthesis takes light from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.  That process is basically turning the thermal energy from the light into chemical energy in the sugar.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

Depression is freezing point is a colligative property. It is mathematically expressed as ΔTf = Kf X m

where Kf = <span>freezing point depression constant = 1.86°c kg /mol (for water)
m = molality of solution = 1.40 m

</span>∴ ΔTf = Kf X m  = 1.86 X 1.40 = 2.604 oC

Now, for water freezing point = 0 oC

∴Freezing point of solution = -2.604 oC

A 0.20 mol sample of MgCl2(s) and a 0.10 mol sample of KCl(s) are dissolved in water and diluted to 500 mL. What is the concentr
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

1 M

Explanation:

Magnesium chloride will furnish chloride ions as:

MgCl_2\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2Cl^-

Given :

Moles of magnesium chloride = 0.20 mol

Thus, moles of chlorine furnished by magnesium chloride is twice the moles of magnesium chloride as shown below:

Moles =2\times 0.20\ moles

Moles of chloride ions by magnesium chloride = 0.40 moles

Potassium chloride will furnish chloride ions as:

KCl\rightarrow K^{+}+Cl^-

Given :

Moles of potassium chloride = 0.10 moles

Thus, moles of chlorine furnished by potassium chloride is same as the moles of potassium chloride as shown below:

Moles of chloride ions by potassium chloride = 0.10 moles

Total moles = 0.40 + 0.10 moles = 0.50 moles

Given, Volume = 500 mL = 0.5 L (1 mL = 10⁻³ L)

Concentration of chloride ions is:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Molarity_{Cl^-}=\frac{0.50}{0.5}

<u> The final concentration of chloride anion = 1 M</u>
