Answer:

Hi, the statements given in the question (a and b) are combination of right and wrong answers. But i will split the statement a and b into necessary fragments.

Carbohydrates are quick source of energy relatively. That is the only correct statement in the question.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are naturally occurring organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen with the general formula (Cx H2y Oy) or Cx (H2O)y. They can be classified into simple sugar or complex sugar.

Simple sugars can be further divided into Monosaccharides (e.g glucose, fructose and galactose) and Disaccharides (e.g sucrose and maltose).

Complex sugar can be referred to as Polysaccharides (e.g cellulose and starch)

The statement above that says carbohydrate contains carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen polymers is not correct.

Carbohydrates are not mostly monosaccharides. They also contain Disaccharides and Polysaccharides.

They are not the only source of fuel.

Answer:

C₂H₃O

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Carbon (C) = 48.8383%

Hydrogen (H) = 8.1636%

Oxygen (O) = 43.1981%

Empirical formula =?

The empirical formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:

C = 48.8383%

H = 8.1636%

O = 43.1981%

Divide by their molar mass

C = 48.8383 / 12 = 4.07

H = 8.1636 / 1 = 8.1636

O = 43.1981 / 16 = 2.7

Divide by the smallest

C = 4.07 / 2.7 = 2

H = 8.1636 / 2.7 = 3

O = 2.7 /2.7 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is C₂H₃O

A rigid tank contains 0.66 mol of oxygen (O2). Find the mass of oxygen that must be withdrawn from the tank to lower the pressur

Answer:

12.8 g of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn from tank

Explanation:

Let's assume $O_{2}$ gas inside tank behaves ideally.

According to ideal gas equation- $PV=nRT$

where P is pressure of $O_{2}$ , V is volume of $O_{2}$ , n is number of moles of $O_{2}$ , R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin scale.

We can also write, $\frac{V}{RT}=\frac{n}{P}$

Here V, T and R are constants.

So, $\frac{n}{P}$ ratio will also be constant before and after removal of $O_{2}$ from tank

Hence, $\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}=\frac{n_{after}}{P_{after}}$

Here, $\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}=\frac{0.66mol}{43atm}$ and $P_{after}=17atm$

So, $n_{after}=\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}\times P_{after}=\frac{0.66mol}{43atm}\times 17atm=0.26mol$

So, moles of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn = (0.66 - 0.26) mol = 0.40 mol

Molar mass of $O_{2}$ = 32 g/mol

So, mass of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn = $(32\times 0.40)g=12.8g$

Explanation:cell division occurs to produce new cells from preexisting ones. the new cells are called daughter cells.the old cells are called parent cells.cell division may be mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis occurs in a somatic cell and produce four daughter cell. Meiosis occurs in sex cells and produce two daughter cells. Cell division usually involves Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Cell division occurs to ensure the continous existence of life.

Mitosis involve producing daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells while meiosis involves producing daughter cells with Half number of chromosomes.
