Chemistry

The <u>secretion</u><u> </u>of acids, buffers, enzymes, and water aids in the breakdown of food.

The food moves through the gastrointestinal tract and breaks down into smaller particles for energy, cell repair, and growth.

Digestion begins when eating and chewing food with the help of teeth in the mouth, then it goes down to the small intestine.

While moving through the gastrointestinal tract it mixes with juices, acids, enzymes, and water which disintegrates the large molecules of food into smaller ones and makes it suitable for assimilation and absorption in the body.

How many miles of C atoms are present in a sample of 3.85x1024 C atoms?
alekssr [168]
Answer:
number of moles = 6.393 moles

Explanation:
One mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number (6.022 * 10^23) of atoms. 
Therefore, to know the number of moles that contain 3.85 * 10^24 atoms, all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
1 mole ......................> 6.022 * 10^23
?? moles ..................> 3.85 * 10^24
number of moles = (3.85 * 10^24 *1) / (6.022 * 10^23)
number of moles = 6.393 moles

Hope this helps :)

The reaction is not balanced

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2Fe(s)+3O₂(g)⇒2Fe₂O₃(s)

Required

The number of atoms

Solution

In a balanced chemical equation, the number of atoms in the compound that reacts (the reactants and products) will have the same number

Reactants : Fe(s)+O₂(g)

Fe = 2 atoms

O = 3 x 2 = 6 atoms

Products : Fe₂O₃(s)

Fe = 2 x 2 = 4 atoms

O = 2 x 3 = 6 atoms

The reaction is not balanced because the number of Fe atoms is not the same

The balanced reaction should be:

4Fe(s)+3O₂(g)⇒2Fe₂O₃(s)

1.00 g of a compound is combusted in oxygen and found to give 3.14g of CO2 and 1.29 g of H2O. From these data we can tell thatA.
lora16 [44]

Answer:

the compound contains C, H, and some other element of unknownidentity, so we can’t calculate the empirical formula

Explanation:

Mass of CO2 obtained = 3.14 g

Hence number of moles of CO2 = 3.14g/44.0 g = 0.0714 mol

The mass of the carbon in the sample = 0.0714 mol × 12.0g/mol = 0.857 g

Mass of H2O obtained = 1.29 g

Hence number of moles of H2O = 1.29g/18.0 g = 0.0717 mol

The mass of the carbon in the sample = 0.0717 mol × 1g/mol = 0.0717 g

% by mass of carbon = 0.857/1 ×100 = 85.7 %

% by mass of hydrogen = 0.0717/1 × 100 = 7.17%

Mass of carbon and hydrogen = 85.7 + 7.17 = 92.87 %

Hence, there must be an unidentified element that accounts for (100 - 92.87) = 7.13% of the compound.
