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>

Given a gas whose temperature is 418 K at a pressure of 56.0 kPa. What is the pressure of the gas if its Temperature changes to
Rainbow [258]

Answer: P₂=0.44 atm

Explanation:

For this problem, we are dealing with temperature and pressure. We will need to use Gay-Lussac's Law.

Gay-Lussac's Law: \frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} } =\frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }

First, let's do some conversions. Anytime we deal with the Ideal Gas Law and the different laws, we need to make sure our temperature is in Kelvins. Since T₂ is 64°C, we must change it to K.

64+273K=337K

Now, it may be uncomfortable to use kPa instead of atm, so let's convert kPa to atm.

56.0kPa*\frac{1000Pa}{1kPa} *\frac{atm}{101325Pa} =0.55atm

Since our units are in atm and K, we can use Gay-Lussac's Law to find P₂.

P_{2} =\frac{T_{2} P_{1} }{T_{1} }

P_{2}=\frac{(337K)(0.55atm)}{418K}

P₂=0.44 atm

what is the total amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from each atom in a mole of gaseous Ca
Temka [501]

Answer:

589.8 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Let's consider the process in which <em>the most loosely bound electron from each atom in a mole atom of gaseous calcium is removed.</em>

Ca(g) + Energy ⇒ Ca¹⁺(g) + 1 e⁻

The energy involved in this process is known as First Ionization Energy. The First Ionization Energy for calcium is 589.8 kJ/mol.
