<u>0.549 mol</u> of citric acid are in 1.50 qt of lemon juice (d = 1.09 g/mL) that is 6.82% citric acid.

<h3>What is citric acid?</h3>

Citric acid is an organic compound with a chemical formula of $HOC(CO_2H)(CH_2CO_2H)_2$ . It is a weak organic acid that is colourless. Citrus fruits naturally produce it. It is a biochemical intermediary in the citric acid cycle, which is a process that all aerobic organisms go through during metabolism.

Every year, more than two million tonnes of citric acid are produced. It is frequently employed as a chelating agent, an acidifier, and a flavouring

Citrates, which include salts, esters, and the polyatomic anion present in solution, are derivatives of citric acid. Trisodium citrate is an example of the former; triethyl citrate is an example of an ester.

a sample of carbon dioxide contains 3.8 moles of oxygen atoms, how many moles of carbon dioxide are in the sample?

dedylja [7]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.9 moles

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a compound that is made up of carbon and oxygen elements.

It contains 2 moles of oxygen atoms and 1 mole of carbon atoms

Therefore;

We would say, 1 mole of CO₂ → 2 moles of Oxygen atoms + 1 mole of carbon atoms

Thus;

If a sample of CO₂ contains 3.8 moles of oxygen atoms we could use mole ratio to determine the moles of CO₂

Mole ratio of CO₂ to Oxygen is 1 : 2

Therefore;

Moles of CO₂ = 3.8 moles ÷ 2

= 1.9 moles

Hence, the moles of CO₂ present in a sample that would produce 3.8 moles of Oxygen atoms is 1.9 moles

What do I mean by Water table in Water cycle

Lina20 [59]

Answer: -

After rain fall occurs, water accumulates .

This water is called ground water. This water slowly flows under the ground through the pore spaces in the soil. The water continues to go under the soil till it reaches a certain point where it can no longer go down.

In this region the water slowly accumulates forming a water reservoir called aquifer. The aquifer is a place under the soil which is saturated with water. The upper surface of this zone of saturation is called the water table.

The following reaction proceeds at a rate such that 3 mole of A is consumed per minute. Given this, how many moles of C are prod

Dovator [93]

Answer:

6 mol/min

Explanation:

2A+2B→4C

The relationship between the reactants and products of this equation is given by;

1/2 -d[A]/dt = 1/2 -d[B]/dt = 1/4 d[C]/dt

Our focus is on A and C

From the question;

d[A]/dt = 3mol/min

We have;

1/2 (3) = 1/4 d[C]/dt

d[C]/dt = 4/2 * 3 = 6 mol/min
