What element is found in liver and is needed to prevent anemia or tired blood.

DochEvi [55]

The element found in the liver that helps prevent anemia is iron.

Iron is an essential element for blood production. Close to 70% of the body's iron is found in the red blood cells. In the red blood cells it is a vital ingredient of hemoglobin, the red pigment that gives blood its red color. In the muscle cells, iron is found as myoglobin.

Iron is stored mostly in the liver as ferritin or hemosiderin.

When iron stores are finished or exhausted, the condition is called iron depletion. When the shortage of iron is severe, it results in a condition known as iron deficiency anemia whereby the red blood cells do not have enough hemoglobin.

An unknown salt is either NaF, NaCl, or NaOCl. When 0.050 mol of the salt is dissolved in water to form 0.500 L of solution, the

victus00 [196]

Answer: The unknown salt is NaF

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Moles of salt = 0.050 moles

Volume of solution = 0.500 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of salt}=\frac{0.050mol}{0.500L}\\\\\text{Molarity of salt}=0.1M$

To calculate the hydroxide ion concentration, we first calculate pOH of the solution, which is:

pH + pOH = 14

We are given:

pH = 8.08

$pOH=14-8.08=5.92$

To calculate pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5.92=-\log[OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=10^{-5.92}=1.202\times 10^{-6}M$

The unknown salt given are formed by the combination of weak acid and strong acid which is NaOH

The chemical equation for the hydrolysis of $X^-$ ions follows:

$X^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons HX(aq.)+OH^-(aq.);K_b$

Initial: 0.1

At eqllm: 0.1-x x x

Concentration of $OH^-=x=1.202\times 10^{-6}M$

The expression of $K_b$ for above equation follows:

$K_b=\frac{[OH^-][HX]}{[X^-]}$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$K_b=\frac{(1.202\times 10^{-6})\times (1.202\times 10^{-6})}{(1-(1.202\times 10^{-6}))}\\\\K_b=1.445\times 10^{-11}M$

To calculate the acid dissociation constant for the given base dissociation constant, we use the equation:

$K_w=K_b\times K_a$

where,

$K_w$ = Ionic product of water = $10^{-14}$

$K_a$ = Acid dissociation constant

$K_b$ = Base dissociation constant = $1.445\times 10^{-11}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$10^{-14}=1.445\times 10^{-11}\times K_a\\\\K_a=\frac{10^{-14}}{1.445\times 10^{-11}}=6.92\times 10^{-4}$

We know that:

$K_a\text{ for HF}=6.8\times 10^{-6}$

$K_a\text{ for HCl}=1.3\times 10^{6}$

$K_a\text{ for HClO}=3.0\times 10^{-8}$

So, the calculated $K_a$ is approximately equal to the $K_a$ of HF

Hence, the unknown salt is NaF

vampirchik [111]

Answer:A compound is formed as a result of chemical reaction, between the constituent elements

Explanation:

A compound is formed as a result of chemical reaction, between the constituent elements. The properties of compound are different from the properties of the elements from which it is formed. Ex. Compounds can be further divided into three classes : acids, bases and salts, on the basis of their properties.
