Answer:

Explanation:

We do not have the means to digest cellulose (termites have bacteria in their gut which enables them to do so) ....it has no nutritional value to us

Calculate the mass of khc8h4o4 that reacts with 15 ml of the naoh solution

dlinn [17]

The balanced chemical reaction would be:

KHC8H4O4 (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaKC8H4O4 (aq) + H2O.

The concentration of the NaOH is equal 0.1 M. We use this and the volume given above to determine the mass of KHC8H4O4. We do as follows:

0.1 mol / L NaOH (.015 L) ( 1 mol KHC8H4O4 / 1 mol NaOH) (204 g / 1 mol) = 0.306 g KHC8H4O4

There is about 1.0 g of calcium as Ca2+ in 1.0 L of milk. What is the molarity of Ca2+ in milk?

meriva

Explanation:

It is known that molarity is the number of moles present in a liter of solution.

Molarity = $\frac{\text{no. of moles}}{volume}$

Also, number of moles equal mass divided by molar mass. And, molar mass of calcium is 40.07 g/mol.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{1.0 g}{40.07 g/mol}$

= 0.025 mol

Therefore, calculate the molarity as follows.

Molarity = $\frac{\text{no. of moles}}{volume}$

= $\frac{0.025 mol}{1.0 L}$

= 0.025 M

Thus, we can conclude that molarity of $Ca^{2+}$ in milk is 0.025 M.

The production of ammonia (NH3) under standard conditions at 25°C is represented by the following thermochemical equation. N2(g)

asambeis [7]

Answer:

44,901 kilo Joule heat is released when $1.663\times 10^4 g$ grams of ammonia is produced.

Explanation:

Moles of ammonia gas produced :

$\frac{1.663\times 10^4 g}{17 g/mol}=978.235 mol$

According to reaction, when 2 moles of ammonia are produced 9.18 kilo joules of energy is also released.

So, When 978.235 moles of ammonia gas is produced the energy released will be:

$\frac{-91.8 kJ}{2}\times 978.235 mol=-44,900.98 kJ\approx -44,901 kJ$

(negative sign indicates that energy is released as heat)

44,901 kilo Joule heat is released when $1.663\times 10^4 g$ grams of ammonia is produced.

Which statement describes how a basic coffee cup calorimeter works? A) It measures the mass of a substance given the specific he

fomenos

A calorimeter experiment is a set-up that provides insulation so that no heat escapes to the surroundings and all energy can be accounted for. It can be done at either constant volume or constant pressure. So, the answer to this is knowing the mass of water, the specific heat which is an empirical data, and the change in temperature which can be measured using a thermometer. This experiment could measure the mass of an unknown substance added or the specific heat of the substance or the calorimeter. The answer is D.
