Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C (C6H8O6, molar mass = 176 g/mol), is a naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant propert

ies. A healthy adult’s daily requirement of vitamin C is 70-90 mg. A sweet lime contains 2.82×10−4 mol of ascorbic acid.
To determine whether the ascorbic acid in a sweet lime meets the daily requirement, calculate the mass of ascorbic acid in 2.82×10−4 mol of ascorbic acid.

Answer:

The quantity of ascorbic acid found in sweet lime of 49.6 mg does not meet the daily requirement.

Explanation:

To determine the mass of ascorbic acid knowing the number of moles we use the following formula:

number of moles = mass / molecular weight

mass = number of moles × molecular weight

mass of ascorbic acid = 2.82 × 10⁻⁴ × 176

mass of ascorbic acid = 496 × 10⁻⁴ g = 0.0496 g = 49.6 mg

daily requirement of ascorbic acid = 70 - 90 mg

The quantity of ascorbic acid found in sweet lime of 49.6 mg does not meet the daily requirement.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>49.7 mg of Ascorbic acid do not meet the daily requirement.</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The conversions are  

Moles to mass, by multiplying with molar mass.

Molar mass is the mass of 1 mole of the substance.

Its unit is gram per mole g/mol

Ascorbic acid (C_6H_8O_6) contains 6, C atoms 8, H atoms and 6, O atoms .

We find the molar mass of the compound by just adding the atomic mass of the atoms present in it

Molar mass of Ascorbic acid

=(6\times 12.0107)+(8\times 1.00784)+(6\times 15.999)

=176.124 g/mol(Given)

Mass of Ascorbic acid = Moles × Molar mass

=2.82 \times 10^{-4} mol \times 176.124 g/mol

=0.0497 g

We know

1 g = 1000 mg

So

0.0497g \times 1000mg/1g=49.7mg VITAMIN C

The required quantity for an Adult is 70 to 90mg.

<em>So 49.7 mg of Ascorbic acid do not meet the daily requirement.(Answer)</em>

Why were colonists in new england angry at king james 2 abd governor edmund andros of new england?​
Pani-rosa [81]

His strict imposition of autocratic rule was supported by his appointment by the King, who otherwise was not directly involved.

Explanation:

Andros’ imposition of Episcopalian worship in the Old South Meeting house, Boston his vigorous enforcement of the Navigation Acts.

He had earned the enmity of the local populace by enforcing the restrictive Navigation Acts.

He had infuriated Puritans in Boston by promoting the Church of England, which was rejected by many Nonconformist New England colonists.

When news of the overthrow of James II (1688) reached Boston, the colonists revolted, deposing Andros and imprisoning him.

His requirement that landholders take out new land patents and his limitations upon town meetings and rights of local taxation all aroused sharp resentment in colonial America.

3. A mass of 0.15 ounces is equal to how many grams?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Option C = 4.25 g

Explanation:

Ounce and grams are unit of mass. Ounce is larger unit while gram is smaller unit. The one ounce is consist of 28.35 g or we can say that one ounce is equal to 28.35 g. In order to convert the given ounce value into grams the value is multiply with 28.35 g.

Given data:

Mass = 0.15 ounce

Mass in gram = ?

Solution:

One ounce is equal to 28.35 g, so

0.15 × 28.35 = 4.25 g

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Part A: 36 MBq; Part B: 18 MBq

Explanation:

The half-life is the time it takes for half the substance to disappear.

The activity decreases by half every half-life

A =Ao(½)^n, where n is the number of half-lives.

Part A

3.0 da = 1 half-life

A =  Ao(½) = ½ × 72 MBq = 36 MBq

Part B

6.0 da = 2 half-lives

A = Ao(½)^2 = ¼ × 72 MBq = 18 MBq
