Through the complete electrolysis of a sample of pure water, a student collects 14.0 grams of hydrogen gas and 112.0 grams of ox

ygen gas. What mass of water (in grams), if it reacted completely, was initially present? (The electrolysis of water is the use of an electric current to decompose it into its component elements.) Report your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer:

126.0g of water were initially present

Explanation:

The electrolysis of water occurs as follows:

2H₂O(l) ⇄ 2H₂(g) + O₂(g)

<em>Where 2 moles of water produce 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen.</em>

<em />

To find the mass of water we need to determine moles of oxygen and hydrogen, thus:

<em>Moles Hydrogen:</em>

14.0g H₂ ₓ (1mol / 2g H₂) = 7 moles H₂

<em>Moles Oxygen:</em>

112.0g O₂ ₓ (1mol / 32g) = 3.5 moles O₂

Based on the chemical equation, the moles of water initially present were 7 moles (That produce 7 moles H₂ and 3.5 moles O₂). The mass of 7 moles of H₂O is:

7 moles H₂O * (18g / mol) =

g How many turns through the citric acid cycle are required to fully oxidize all of the acetly-coA that result from 1 molecule o
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The two molecules of acetyl-CoA that are produced from a molecule of glucose goes through two turn in the citric acid cycle, one for each molecule of acetyl-CoA.

Explanation:

Glycolysis the process by which a molecule of glucose is broken down in a series of steps to yield two molecules of pyruvate. The overall equation for  the reactions of glycolsis is given below:

Glucose + 2NAD+ ----> 2 Pyruvate + 2NADH + 2H⁺

Each of the two pyruvate molecules produced from glucose breakdown is further oxidized to two molecules of acetyl-CoA and CO₂ each.

2 Pyruvate ----> 2 AcetylCoA + 2CO₂

Each of the acetyl-CoA molecule then enters the citric acid cycle for its oxidation. In each turn of the cycle, one acetyl group enters as acetyl-CoA and two molecules of CO₂ leave.

What is 2n^2 rule ( of science)​
lozanna [386]

2n² rule:

This rule is used to determine number of electrons in particular shell.

n=1 means K shell

n=2 means L shell

n=3 means M shell

n=4means N shell

The first K shell can hold upto 2 electrons, L shell can hold up to 8, third M shell can hold up to 18and the fourth N shell can hold upto 32 electrons. This rule of arrangement of electrons according to the shell is known 2n2 rule where n means number of shell.

For example: There is one proton in the nucleus of hydrogen atom, which moves in K shell path. It has no neutron.

An atom of a certain element has 12 protons, 14 neutrons, and 2 valence electrons. What is the name of this element?
DedPeter [7]

Given :

An atom of a certain element has 12 protons, 14 neutrons, and 2 valence electrons.

To Find :

The name of this element.

Solution :

We know, element with atomic number ( number of protons ) 12 and valance electrons is Magnesium.

Now, isotope of magnesium of proton with 14 neutrons is Mg-16 .

Therefore, name of element is Mg-16 .

Hence, this is the required solution.

As a child (with a mass of 35.0 kg) you take your 5.0-kg sled to Orchard Downs. If you are sliding down the hill on your sled, w
alukav5142 [94]

Velocity = 3.61 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass of child = 35 kg

mass of sled = 5 kg

Kinetic energy = 260 J

Required

velocity

Solution

Energy because its motion is expressed as Kinetic energy (KE) which can be formulated as:

KE = 1/2.mv²

mass of object :

= mass child + mass sled

= 35 kg + 5 kg

= 40 kg

Input the value :

v²=KE : 1/2.m

v²= 260 : 1/2.40 kg

v²=13

v=3.61 m/s
