In cellular respiration glucose is oxidized to three compounds

What is the theoretical yield of fluorenone if you oxidize 175 mg of fluorene?

Answer:

602 mg of CO₂ and 94.8 mg of H₂O

Explanation:

The yield is measured by the amount of each product produced by the reaction.

The chemical formula of fluorene is C₁₃H₁₀, and its molar mass is 166.223 g/mol.

The oxidation, also know as combustion, of this hydrocarbon is represented by the following balanced chemical equation:

$2C_{13}H_{10}+31O_2\rightarrow 26CO_2+10H_2O$

To calculate the yield follow these steps:

1. Mole ratio

$2molC_{13}H_{10}:31molO_2:26molCO_2:10molH_2O$

2. Convert 175mg of fluorene to number of moles

$175mg/times 1g/1,000mg=0.175g$

Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

$\text{number of moles}=0.175g/166.223g/mol=0.0010528mol$

3. Set a proportion for each product of the reaction

a) For CO₂

i) number of moles

$2molC_{10}H_{13}/26molCO_2=0.0010528molC_{10}H{13}/x$

$x=0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times 26molCO_2/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.013686molCO_2$

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01g/mol

mass = number of moles × molar mass

mass = 0.013686 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 0.602 g = 602mg

b) For H₂O

i) number of moles

$0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times10molH_2O/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.00526molH_2O$

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.015g/mol

mass = number of moles × molar mass

mass = 0.00526 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 0.0948mg = 94.8 mg

Classify each of these soluble solutes as a strong electrolyte, a weak electrolyte, or a nonelectrolyte. Solutes formula hydroch

matrenka [14]

Compounds which on dissolving in water gets completely dissociates into its ions are known as strong electrolytes whereas compounds which on dissolving in water gets partially dissociates into its ions are known as weak electrolytes.

Substances which gives solution on dissolving in water and do not dissociates into ions also does not conduct electric current are known as nonelectrolyte.

Hydrochloric acid, $HCl$

On adding $HCl$ (strong acid) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions ( $H^{+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

Sodium hydroxide, $NaOH$

On adding $NaOH$ (strong base) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions ( $Na^{+}$ and $OH^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

Formic acid, $HCOOH$

On adding $HCOOH$ (weak acid) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions ( $H^{+}$ and $HCOO^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

Methyl amine, $CH_3NH_2$

On adding $CH_3NH_2$ (weak base) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions ( $CH_3NH_3^{+}$ and $OH^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

Potassium chloride, $KCl$

On adding $KCl$ in water, it will completely dissociates into ions ( $K^{+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

Ethanol, $C_2H_5OH$

On adding $C_2H_5OH$ in water, it will not dissociates into ions and thus, it is a nonelectrolyte.

Sucrose, $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$

On adding $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$ in water, it will not dissociates into ions and thus, it is a nonelectrolyte.

Dylan changed a formless pile of sand into a sand castle. What other natural materials can be changed into art

amm1812

Other natural material such as clay, wood, and stones can be changed into art.

Clay is pliable and is very easy to be molded into different shapes and sizes.

Wood can easily carved into different shapes, also different patterns can be easily etched on wood.

Stones of different variety and from different geological sources are painstakingly converted into statues or portraits of different life forms and scenery.

What defines a mixture?

erica [24]

B is your best answer because a mixture is when two or more things combine but not chemically. Take soup for example you take out all the pieces because they didn't combine together and just become 1 thing they still have parts. You can still take the noodles, you take the fish or meat out still, you take the broth away to.

How does biodiversity help sustain a population in an area

Firdavs [7]

Having a variety is always good you never want to have too much of one thing. It helps with the food chain its basically survival of the fittest
