Answer:

There are four major classes of biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids)

Explanation:

There are four major classes of biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids), and each is an important component of the cell and performs a wide array of functions. ... Biological macromolecules are organic, meaning that they contain carbon.

If you run this reaction with 15 g of CuCl2 and 20 g NaNO3, what is the theoretical yield of NaCl?

Margaret [11]

The theoretical yield of a substance is the amount of the mass that is calculated from stoichiometry. The mass of sodium chloride produced is 13.03 gms.

Mass of the substance is a multiplication of the molar mass and moles.

The balanced reaction is given as:

CuCl₂ + 2NaNO₃ ⇒ 2NaCl + Cu(NO₃)₂

Moles of copper chloride are calculated as: 15 ÷ 134.45 = 0.115 moles

Moles of sodium nitrate are calculated as: 20 ÷ 84.99 = 0.2353 moles

From the reaction, 1 mole of copper chloride gives 2 moles of sodium chloride so, 0.115 moles of copper chloride will produce 0.223 moles.

Similarly, 2 moles of sodium nitrate produce 2 moles of sodium chloride so, 0.2353 moles produce 0.4706 moles.

From this, it can be concluded that copper chloride is a limiting reagent and will be used to calculate the mass of NaCl.

Mass of NaCl is calculated as: Mass = 0.223 moles × 58.44 = 13.03 gms.

Therefore, 13.03 gms is the theoretical yield of sodium chloride.

What principle requires that a chemical equation be balanced?

Dafna1 [17]

The principle that requires that a chemical equation be balanced would be the law of definite proportions. It states that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio (by mass) and does not depend on its source and method of preparation. Hope this answers the question.

5. Why doesn't the air at a frontal boundary mix?

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

At a front, the two air masses have different densities, based on temperature, and do not easily mix. One air mass is lifted above the other, creating a low pressure zone.

(chem) which is more concentrated: 45.0 grams of HCOOH dissolved in 189 mL of water or 1.5 moles of CH↓2COOH dissolved in twice

Liula [17]

Answer:

CH3COOH would be more concentrated

Explanation:

The higher the concentration value, the more concentrated it is.

The relationship between concentration, moles and volume is given by the equation;

Concentration = No of moles / Volume

5.0 grams of HCOOH dissolved in 189 mL of water

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass = 5 / 46.03 = 0.1086 mol

Concentration = 0.1086 / 0.189 = 0.5746 mol/L

1.5 moles of CH3COOH dissolved in twice as much water

Volume = 2 * 189 = 378 ml = 0.378 L

Concentration = 1.5 / 0.378 = 3.9683 mol/L

Comparing both concentration values;

CH3COOH would be more concentrated

How many km are in 5.6mm? 5.6x103 5.6x10-6 5.6x10-3 5.6x106

il63 [147K]

Hey there :)

Question: How many km are in 5.6mm?

=>5.6x10^3

=>5.6x10^-6

=>5.6x10^-3

=> 5.6x10^6

Answer:-

$5.6 \times 10^{ - 6}$

Explanation:-

By using the formula-

$1millimeter = \frac{1}{1000000}$

As 1 with 6 zeros, we convert it into exponential form.

$= > \frac{1}{10^{6} }$

As this above value is fraction type, we can do the reciprocal, thus, the exponent gets a negative value.

$= > 10^{ - 6}$

Now combine with given question.

$= > 5.6 \times 10^{ - 6}$
