1) molar mass of C₁₄H₁₃NaO₃ = 252 g/mole

2) number of moles of naproxen sodium = 0.00119 moles

3) 0.00238 moles of naproxen in one day

Explanation:

1) Determine the molar mass of naproxen sodium.

We know that the molecular formula of naproxen sodium is C₁₄H₁₃NaO₃.

Now we can calculate the molar mass of naproxen sodium:

molar mass of C₁₄H₁₃NaO₃ = molar mass of C × 14 + molar mass of H × 13 + molar mass of Na × 1 + molar mass of O × 3

molar mass of C₁₄H₁₃NaO₃ = 12 × 14 + 1 × 13 + 23 × 1 + 16 × 3

molar mass of C₁₄H₁₃NaO₃ = 252 g/mole

2) Calculate the number of moles of naproxen sodium in a single tablet.

Knowing that one tablet contains 300 mg = 0.3 g of naproxen sodium, we use the following formula to find the number of moles:

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of naproxen sodium = 0.3 / 252

number of moles of naproxen sodium = 0.00119 moles

3) Calculate the number of moles of naproxen sodium that an adult would have taken if she took two doses of naproxen sodium in one day.

To find the number of moles taken by the adult in one day we follow the next reasoning:

if 1 tablet of naproxen contains 0.00119 moles of naproxen

then 2 tablets of naproxen contains X moles of naproxen

X = (2 × 0.00119) / 1 = 0.00238 moles of naproxen

Which of these are ways in which a seed might be dispersed? Check all that apply. organisms clouds wind water rocks

alisha [4.7K]

Answer: organisms

wind

water

Explanation:

There are several ways through which plants can move the seed of plants from one place to another. It isn't possible for plants to move their seeds themselves, therefore, there are other methods for their seeds to be moved.

These include fire, wind, animals, organisms, water, fire, water etc. It should be noted that rocks and clouds are not dispersion methods.

A scientist is trying to determine whether a certain substance is radioactive. Which question would be most helpful to ask?

oksian1 [2.3K]

Well a question to ask would be if the mass of the material has changed significantly as that would determine that the substance is radioactive or if there have been any high readings found by a Geiger meter in certain period of time

hope that helps

If 42.7 of 0.208 M hydrochloric acid are needed to completely neutralize a solution of calcium hydroxide, how many grams of calc

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

0.329 g

Explanation:

In the context of this problem, we have a chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium hydroxide. HCl is the acid here and calcium hydroxide is the base. Hence, we have an acid-base reaction, also known as neutralization reaction.

In a neutralization reaction, water is produced as a product, as well as a salt that we obtain after we exchange the cations: calcium bonds to chloride and hydrogen bonds to hydroxide (the latter is the formation of water). This means we also produce calcium chloride as a product. The overall reaction represents this as:

$Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2 HCl (aq)\rightarrow CaCl_2 (aq)+2 H_2O (l)$

Firslt of all, we wish to find the number of moles of HCl present. Having molarity and volume, this is done by applying the molarity formula. It states that molarity is equal to the rate between moles and volume:

$c_{HCl}=\frac{n_{HCl}}{V_{HCl}}$

Rearranging for moles of HCl, n:

$n_{HCl}=c_{HCl}V_{HCl}$

Based on stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation, notice that 1 mole of calcium hydroxide reacts with 2 moles of HCl, meaning:

$n_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{1}{2} n_{HCl}=\frac{1}{2}c_{HCl}V_{HCl}$

Now that we have the expression for moles, we may also express moles of calcium hydroxide as the ratio between its mass and molar mass:

$n_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{m_{Ca(OH)_2}}{M_{Ca(OH)_2}}$

Using the last two equations, we see that:

$\frac{1}{2}c_{HCl}V_{HCl}=\frac{m_{Ca(OH)_2}}{M_{Ca(OH)_2}}\\\therefore m_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{1}{2}c_{HCl}V_{HCl}M_{Ca(OH)_2}$

Substitute the given data, as well as the molar mass of calcium hydroxide:

$m_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{1}{2}\cdot0.208 M\cdot0.0427 L\cdot74.093 g/mol=0.329 g$
