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>

Describe how the air pressure on Earth affects the weather.
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:  

As the pressure decreases, the amount of oxygen available to breathe also decreases. Atmospheric pressure is an indicator of weather. When a low-pressure system moves into an area, it usually leads to cloudiness, wind, and precipitation. High-pressure systems usually lead to fair, calm weather.

How much heat is lost when 1277 g of H20 at 400 K is changed into ice at 263 K? Plz help I’ll give you brainliest 20 points
OLga [1]

The heat lost is -7.32*10^-^5J

The heat lost when the ice is cooled from 400k to 263K can be calculated using the formula of heat transfer.

<h3>Heat Transfer</h3>

This is the heat transferred from a body of higher temperature to a body of lower temperature.

Q = mc(\delta)T

  • Q = Heat Transfer
  • m = mass = 1277g
  • ΔT  = change in temperature

\delta T = (400 - 273) - (263 - 273) = \\&#10;\delta T = T_2 - T_1\\&#10;\delta T = -10 - 127\\&#10;\delta T = -137^0C

We converted the temperature from kelvin scale into Celsius scale and find the change in temperature.

Solving for heat transfer

Q = mc\delta T\\&#10;Q = 1277 * 4.186 * -137\\&#10;Q = -732336.514J

The heat loss is approximately -7.32*10^-^5J
