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>

The muscles on the run in transform chemical potential energy into_____
LekaFEV [45]

Mechanical Energy

Mechanism energy is the energy associated with the position and motion of an object. Therefore it is also the summation of the kinetic and potential energies of the object.

Explanation:

Mechanism energy is the energy associated with the position and motion of an object. Therefore it is also the summation of the kinetic and potential energies of the object.

In the muscles, to have movement, the chemical bonds in ATP is broken to enable the sliding action of the myosin and actin fibres of a sarcomere (the basic unit of muscle). This sliding action is responsible for contraction of muscle.  The coordinated contractions and relaxations of sarcomeres on muscles result in movement which translates to mechanical energy.

This process is never 100% efficient with some energy lost as heat energy.

What is the necessary voltage to power the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride?
sammy [17]

4V  is the necessary voltage to power the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride.

To create sodium metal and chlorine gas, molten (liquid) sodium chloride can be electrolyzed. A Down's cell is the name of the electrolytic cell utilised in the procedure. The liquid sodium ions in a Down's cell are converted to liquid sodium metal at the cathode. Liquid chlorine ions are oxidised to chlorine gas at the anode. Below is an illustration of the reactions and cell potentials:

oxidation: 2Cl^{-} (l) → Cl_{2} (g) + 2e^{-}                                  E°= -1.36V

reduction: Na^{+} (l) + e^{-} → Na (l)                                    E°= -2.71V

overall : 2Na^{+} (l) + 2Cl^{-} (l) → 2Na(l) +Cl_{2} (g)              E°_{cell} = -4.07V

For this electrolysis to take place, the battery needs to supply more than 4 volts. The only means to obtain pure sodium metal is by this reaction, which also serves as a significant source of chlorine gas generation. Swimming pools and other surfaces are frequently cleaned and disinfected with chlorine gas.
