Molar mass of a compound is the equivalent mass of the compound per mole of it. To determine the molar mass of hemoglobin, we need to know the mass and the number of moles that is present in a certain sample. We make use of the values given above.
Given
0.340 percent Fe = 0.340 g Fe / 100 g hemoglobin
4 atoms Fe per 1 molecule of hemoglobin

Solution:
4 atoms Fe per 1 molecule of hemoglobin ( 1 mol Fe / 6.022 x10^23 atoms Fe) ( 55 .85 g Fe/ 1 mol Fe ) ( 6.022x10^23 molecule hemoglobin / 1 mol hemoglobin ) = 223.4 g Fe / mol hemoglobin

Molar mass = (100 g hemoglobin / 0.340 g Fe) (223.4 g Fe / mol hemoglobin) = 65705.88 g/mol hemoglobin

Anna [14]

Answer:

  • <em>The mystery substance is</em> <u>C. Bromine (Br) </u>

Explanation:

<em>Argon (Ar) </em>is a noble gas. Whose freezing point is -189 °C (very low), thus it cannot be the frozen substance. Also, it is not reactive, thus is would have not reacted with iron. Hence, argon is not the mystery substance.

<em>Scandium (Sc) </em>is a metal from group 3 of the periodic table, thus is will not react with iron. Thus, scandium is not the mystery substance.

Both <em>bromine</em> and <em>iodine</em> are halogens (group 17 of the periodic table).

The freezing point of bromine is −7.2 °C, ​and the freezing point of iodine is 113.7 °C. Thus, both could be solids (frozen) in the lab.

The reactivity of the halogens decrease from top to bottom inside the group. Bromine is above iodine. Then bromine is more reactive than iodine.

Bromine is reactive enough to react with iron. Iodine is not reactive enough to react with iron.

You can find in the internet that bromine vapour over hot iron reacts  producing iron(III) bromide. Also, that bromine vapors are red-brown.

Therefore, <em>the mystery substance is bromine (Br).</em>

Silicon reacts with carbon dioxide to form silicon carbide sic and silicon dioxide
andrew-mc [135]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Silicon reacts with carbon dioxide to form silicon carbide and silicon dioxide. Write the balanced chemical equation.

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.

A balanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on product side.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of silicon and carbon dioxide follows:

2Si+CO_2\rightarrow SiC+SiO_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of silicon reacts with 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas to produce 1 mole of silicon carbide and 1 mole of silicon dioxide

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.
