Nataly [62]

The main constituent of gallstones is cholesterol. Cholesterol may have a role in heart attacks and blood clot formation. Its elemental percentage composition is 83.87% C, 11.99% H, and 4.14% O. It has a molecular weight of 386.64 amu. Empirical formula is C₃H₄O₁ and Molecular formula is 7(C₃H₄O₁).

<h3>What is Empirical Formula ?</h3>

Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in given compound.

Element % Atomic mass Relative no. of atoms Simplest whole ratio

C 83.87 12 $\frac{83.87}{12}$ = 6.98 $\frac{6.98}{0.25}$ = 3

H 11.99 1 $\frac{11.99}{1}$ = 11.09 $\frac{11.09}{0.25}$ = 4

O 4.14 16 $\frac{4.14}{16}$ = 0.25 $\frac{0.25}{0.25}$ = 1

Thus the empirical formula is C₃H₄O₁.

<h3>How to find the Molecular formula of compound ?</h3>

Molecular formula = Empirical formula × n

n = $\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}$

= $\frac{386.64}{56}$

= 7

Molecular formula = Empirical formula × n

= 7 (C₃H₄O₁)

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The main constituent of gallstones is cholesterol. Cholesterol may have a role in heart attacks and blood clot formation. Its elemental percentage composition is 83.87% C, 11.99% H, and 4.14% O. It has a molecular weight of 386.64 amu. Empirical formula is C₃H₄O₁ and Molecular formula is 7(C₃H₄O₁).

A sample of carbon dioxide at RTP is 0.50 dm3. How many grams of carbon dioxide do we have?

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

0.924 g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Volume of CO2 at RTP = 0.50 dm³

Mass of CO2 =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of CO2 that occupied 0.50 dm³ at RTP (room temperature and pressure). This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of gas = 24 dm³ at RTP

Thus,

1 mole of CO2 occupies 24 dm³ at RTP.

Therefore, Xmol of CO2 will occupy 0.50 dm³ at RTP i.e

Xmol of CO2 = 0.5 /24

Xmol of CO2 = 0.021 mole

Thus, 0.021 mole of CO2 occupied 0.5 dm³ at RTP.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CO2 as follow:

Mole of CO2 = 0.021 mole

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2×16) = 13 + 32 = 44 g/mol

Mass of CO2 =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

0.021 = mass of CO2 /44

Cross multiply

Mass of CO2 = 0.021 × 44

Mass of CO2 = 0.924 g.

The amount ofcalcium present in milk can be determined by adding oxalate to asample and measuring the massof calcium oxalate pre

Sauron [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of calcium in milk is 0.107 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of calcium oxalate = 0.429 g

Molar mass of calcium oxalate = 128.1 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of calcium oxalate}=\frac{0.429g}{128.1g/mol}=0.0033mol$

The given chemical equation follows:

$Na_2C_2O_4(aq.)+Ca^{2+}(aq.)\rightarrow CaC_2O_4(s)+2Na^+(aq.)$

Sodium oxalate is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent. And, calcium ion is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of calcium oxalate is produced from 1 mole of calcium ion

So, 0.0033 moles of calcium oxalate is produced from = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0033=0.0033mol$ of calcium ions

Now, calculating the mass of calcium ions by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of calcium ions = 0.0033 moles

Molar mass of calcium ions = 40 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0033mol=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium ions}}{40g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of calcium ions}=(0.0033mol\times 40g/mol)=0.132g$

To calculate the mass percentage of calcium ions in milk, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of calcium ions}=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium ions}}{\text{Mass of milk}}\times 100$

Mass of milk = 125 g

Mass of calcium ions = 0.132 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of calcium ions}=\frac{0.132g}{125g}\times 100=0.107\%$

Hence, the mass percent of calcium in milk is 0.107 %

What average global temperature is maintained when there is a balance in Earth’s energy budget?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The incoming and outgoing energy at the Earth’s surface must balance. Or in other words, the flow of energy into the atmosphere must be balanced by an equal flow of energy out of the atmosphere and back to space.<span>
Earth's Energy balance describes how the incoming energy from the sun is used and returned to space. All </span>of the energy entering earth’s atmosphere comes from the sun. Half of it is absorbed by the earth’s surface i.e. the land and oceans, 30% is directly reflected back to space by clouds and 20% is absorbed by the atmosphere and clouds.<span>Earth's </span>actual<span> average global temperature is around 14° C (57 F).</span>
