Answer:

Carbohydrates, protein, and fat

Step-by-step explanation:

Lettuce is about 96 % water.

If you remove the water from 100 g of lettuce, the remaining 4 g consists of :

55 % carbohydrate

33 % protein

5 % fat

6 % potassium

1 % phosphorus

How many pounds of ice are required to absorb 4900 kJ of heat as the ice melts? The heat of fusion of water is 0.334 kJ/g.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

m = 32.34 pounds of ice.

Explanation:

In this case we need to use the following expression of heat:

q = m * ΔHf (1)

Where:

q: heat absorbed in J or kJ

m: mass of the compound in g

ΔHf: heat of fusion of the water in kJ/g

We are asked to look for the mass of ice in pounds, so after we get the grams, we need to convert the grams to pounds, using the following conversion:

1 pound --------> 453.59 g (2)

So, we have the heat and heat of fusion, from (1) let's solve for the mass, and then, using (2) the conversion to pounds:

q = m * ΔHf

m = q / ΔHf

m = 4900 / 0.334 = 14,670.66 g of ice

Now, the conversion to pounds:

m = 14,670.66 g * 1 pound/453.59 g

<h2>m = 32.34 pounds of ice.</h2>

Hope this helps

During an investigation, a student burns magnesium to form magnesium oxide. The starting mass of magnesium is measured as 21.3 g

enot [183]

Answer:

Percentage yield = 85.2%

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Mg = 21.3 g

Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g

Percentage yield = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

Number of moles of Mg = mass/molar mass

Number of moles of Mg = 21.3 g / 24.3 g/mol

Number of moles of Mg = 0.88 mol

Now we will compare the moles of MgO with Mg.

Mg : MgO

2 : 2

0.88 : 0.88

Mass of MgO:

Mass of MgO= moles × molar mass

Mass of MgO= 0.88 mol × 40.3g/mol

Mass of MgO = 35.46 g

Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g

Percentage yield:

Percentage yield = Actual yield/theoretical yield × 100

Percentage yield = 30.2 g/ 35.46 g × 100

Percentage yield = 85.2%

What volume of water is required to prepare 0.1 M H3PO4 from 100 ml of 0.5 M solution?

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer: A volume of 500 mL water is required to prepare 0.1 M $H_{3}PO_{4}$ from 100 ml of 0.5 M solution.

Explanation:

Given: $M_{1}$ = 0.1 M, $V_{1}$ = ?

$M_{2}$ = 0.5 M, $V_{2}$ = 100 mL

Formula used to calculate the volume of water is as follows.

$M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\\0.1 M \times V_{1} = 0.5 M \times 100 mL\\V_{1} = 500 mL$

Thus, we can conclude that a volume of 500 mL water is required to prepare 0.1 M $H_{3}PO_{4}$ from 100 ml of 0.5 M solution.
