How many grams of sulfur would be a typical amount in a 60.kg adult?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nadusha1986 [10]3 years ago
6 0

The answer is 180g. Sulfur composes approximately 0.3% of the human body composition. Therefore for a 60kg human, then the amount of sulfur in their body would be (0.3*60)/100 =0.18kg = 180g. Sulfur is mostly found in proteins since it’s a major element that is used in the formation of protein bonds like sulfur bridges etcetera.

Match the following associations. Exothermic or endothermic
Alekssandra [29.7K]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>1) ∆H is positive \Rightarrow Endothermic </em>

<em>2) E_p>E_r \Rightarrow Endothermic  </em>

<em>3) Energy is absorbed \Rightarrow Endothermic </em>

<em>4) E_r>E_p \Rightarrow Exothermic </em>

<em>5) ∆H is negtive \Rightarrow Exothermic </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

∆H is called as enthalpy change  

It is also called as Heat of reaction

Energy is required for the bond to break a bond.

Energy is released when a bond is formed.

H_2+Cl_2>2HCl

that is

H-H+Cl-Cl>2H-Cl

We see in this equation, bonds between hydrogen and chlorine molecules gets broken and on the right side bond is formed in HCl.

If energy of products greater than energy of reactants then the reaction enthalpy change is endothermic .

If energy of products lesser than energy of reactants then the reaction enthalpy change is exothermic .

For example  

\Delta H=E_p-E_r

=30KJ-20KJ

=+10KJ

(positive hence endothermic)

\Delta H=E_p-E_r

=10KJ-40KJ

=-30KJ

(negative hence exothermic)

The molar mass of an unknown gas was measured by an effusion experiment. It was found that it took 60 s for the gas to effuse, w
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The molar mass of the gas is 44 g/mol

Explanation:

It is possible to solve this problem using Graham's law that says: Rates of effusion are inversely dependent on the square of the mass of each gas. That is:

\frac{r_1}{r_2} =\frac{\sqrt{M_2} }{\sqrt{M_1} }

If rate of effusion of nitrogen is Xdistance / 48s and for the unknown gas is X distance / 60s and mass of nitrogen gas is 28g/mol (N₂):

\frac{X/48s}{X/60s} =\frac{\sqrt{M_2} }{\sqrt{28g/mol} }

6,61 = √M₂

44g/mol = M₂

<em>The molar mass of the gas is 44 g/mol</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Describe how the properties of elements in the same group differ to the properties of elements in the same period
Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) (i) All the elements of a group have similar chemical properties because they have same no. of valence electrons in their outermost shell. (ii) All the elements of a period have different chemical properties because they have different no. of valence electrons in their atoms.
