As described by the free-radical theory, exposure to oxidizing agents results in unstable oxygen compounds that can be neutraliz

ed by antioxidants. What antioxidant does the body produce?

AnnyKZ [126]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: The body produce NADPH a reducing equivalents as antioxidants.

Explanation:

During the pentose phosphate pathway reducing equivalents like NADPH is produced which help to prevent oxidative stress. It reduces glutathione via glutathione reductase which converts reactive H2O2 to H2O by glutathione peroxidase.

Why do we need to use moles when we try to determine amounts of reactants and products in a reaction?.
ICE Princess25 [194]

\huge\fbox{Answer ☘}

<em>Chemists use the mole unit to represent 6.022 × 10 23 things, whether the things are atoms of elements or molecules of compounds. This number, called Avogadro's number, is important because this number of atoms or molecules has the same mass in grams as one atom or molecule has in atomic mass units. </em>

What mass of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 5.30x10-3 g of methane?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

1.45 x 10⁻² g CO₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of carbon dioxide, you need to (1) convert grams CH₄ to moles CH₄ (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles CH₄ to moles CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles CO₂ to grams CO₂ (via molar mass). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value (5.30 x 10⁻³ g).

Molar Mass (CH₄): 12.011 g/mol + 4(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (CH₄): 16.043 g/mol

Combustion of Methane:

1 CH₄ + 2 O₂ ---> 2 H₂O + 1 CO₂

Molar Mass (CO₂): 12.011 g/mol + 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (CO₂): 44.007 g/mol

5.30 x 10⁻³ g CH₄          1 mole              1 mole CO₂          44.007 g
---------------------------  x  ----------------  x  ---------------------  x  -----------------  =
                                      16.043 g            1 mole CH₄            1 mole

=  0.0145 g CO₂

=  1.45 x 10⁻² g CO₂

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 30 and its mass number is 70?
Yanka [14]
The answer is 40.

We can solve this by finding out the number of protons, and neutrons. Atomic number of an element means the number of protons in that element. So, the atom has 30 protons if the atomic number is 30.

On the other hand, mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons, but not electrons, because they're too light comparing to the other 2. Therefore, we can simply solve the number of neutrons in the atom by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. 70 - 30 = 40.

Therfore, the number of neutrons is 40.

To demonstrate the formation of iron (iii) chloride from iron fillings
Pavel [41]

Iron (iii) chloride is obtained by vapor condensation from the reaction between chlorine gas and iron fillings.

<h3>How can iron (iii) chloride be formed from iron fillings?</h3>

Iron (ii) chloride can be formed from iron fillings in the laboratory as follows:

  • Iron fillings + Cl₂ → FeCl₃

Chlorine gas is introduced into a reaction vessel containing iron fillings and the iron (iii) chloride vapor formed is obtained by condensation.

In conclusion, iron (iii) chloride is formed by the the direct combination of iron fillings and chlorine gas.
