The four elements that make up about 96% of body matter are ________.

AveGali [126]

An element is a pure substance that cannot be separated or divided into simpler substances by any method (physical or chemical). The four common elements in all the living organisms are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen.

Thus, the four elements that make up about 96 % of body matter are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen (c).

Ethylene produced by fermentation has a specific gravity of 0.787 at 25 degree Celsius. What is the volume of 125g of ethanol at

WITCHER [35]

Answer: The volume of given amount of ethanol at this temperature is 159.44 mL

Explanation:

Specific gravity is given by the formula:

$\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{\text{Density of water}}$

We are given:

Density of water = 0.997 g/mL

Specific gravity of ethanol = 0.787

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.787=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{0.997g/mL}\\\\\text{Density of a substance}=(0.787\times 0.997g/mL)=0.784g/mL$

Density is defined as the ratio of mass and volume of a substance.

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$ ......(1)

Given values:

Mass of ethanol = 125 g

Density of ethanol = 0.784 g/mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Volume of ethanol}=\frac{125g}{0.784g/mL}=159.44mL$

Hence, the volume of given amount of ethanol at this temperature is 159.44 mL

What is the mass percent of potassium sulfate in solution if 78g of potassium sulfate is dissolved in 500 mL of water? (The dens

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

13.5 %

Explanation:

First we calculate the mass of 500 mL of water, using its density:

Volume * Density = Mass

500 mL * 1.00 g/mL = 500 g

Then we calculate the mass percent of potassium sulfate, using the formula:

Mass of Potassium Sulfate / Total Mass * 100%

78 g / (78 + 500) g * 100 % = 13.5 %

3. Discuss the difference between molarity and molality, state the units of each, state the symbol for each, and give an example

dangina [55]

Molality(m) or molal concentration is a measure of concentration and it refers to amount of substance in a specified amount of mass of the solvent. Used unit for molality is mol/kg which is also sometimes denoted as 1 molal. It is equal to the moles of solute (the substance being dissolved) divided by the kilograms of solvent (the substance used to dissolve).

Molarity(M) or molar concentration is also a measure of concentration and represents the amount of substance per unit volume of solution(number of moles per litre of solution. Used unit for molarity is mol/L or M. A solution with a concentration of 1 mol/L is equivalent to 1 molar (1 M).

Molality is preferred when the temperature of the solution varies, because it does not depend on temperature, (neither number of moles of solute nor mass of solvent will be affected by changes of temperature), while molarity changes as temperature changes(volume of solution changes as temperature changes).
