Answer:

2. It helps us to eliminate waste

3. It helps regulate our body temperature

Explanation:

In addition to the function of bringing nutrients to the cells, water provides the elimination of substances out of the body. This occurs, for example, through urine, which is basically formed by water and toxic or excess substances dissolved.

Water also helps in regulating body temperature. This occurs when the heat becomes exaggerated, sweat is released, which has water in its composition. When in contact with the medium, the sweat evaporates on the surface of the skin, causing the body to cool.

If 5 mol of oxygen gas effuses through an opening in 10 seconds, how long will it take for the same amount of hydrogen gas to ef

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

Recall the law of effusion:

$\displaystyle \frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt{ \frac{\mathcal{M}_2}{\mathcal{M}_1} }$

Because 5 mol of oxygen was effused in 10 seconds, the rate is 0.5 mol/s.

Let the rate of oxygen be r₁ and the rate of hydrogen be r₂.

The molecular weight of oxygen gas is 32.00 g/mol and the molecular weight of hydrogen gas is 2.02 g/mol.

Substitute and solve for r₂:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \frac{(0.5\text{ mol/s})}{r_2} & = \sqrt{\frac{(2.02\text{ g/mol})}{(32.00\text{ g/mol})}} \\ \\ r_2 & = \frac{0.5\text{ mol/s}}{\sqrt{\dfrac{(2.02\text{ g/mol})}{(32.00\text{ g/mol})}}} \\ \\ & = 2.0\text{ mol/s}\end{aligned}$

Because there are 5 moles of hydrogen gas:

$\displaystyle 5.0\text{ mol} \cdot \frac{1\text{ s}}{2.0\text{ mol}} = 2.5\text{ s}$

In conclusion, it will take about 2.5 seconds for the hydrogen gas to effuse.

Check: Because hydrogen gas is lighter than oxygen gas, we expect that hydrogen gas will effuse quicker than oxygen gas.

Phenol (C6H5OH) is often used as an antiseptic in mouthwashes and throat lozenges. If a mouthwash has a phenol concentration of

amm1812

Answer:

$M=0.16M$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity is defined as moles of solute divided by liters of solution, since we have phenol with a molar mass of 94.12 g/mol, we can first compute the moles in 1.5 g of phenol:

$n=1.5g*\frac{1mol}{94.12 g}=0.016mol$

Next, since 1000 mL = 1 L, we notice that the volume of the solution is 0.100 L and therefore, the molarity of such solution turns out:

$M=\frac{n}{V}=\frac{0.016mol}{0.100L}\\\\M=0.16M$

Best regards!

Salt in crude oil must be removed before the oil undergoes processing in a refinery. The

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{0.64 \, \%}$

Explanation:

Assume you are using 1 L of water.

Then you are washing 4 L of salty oil.

1. Calculate the mass of the salty oil

Assume the oil has a density of 0.86 g/mL.

$\text{Mass of oil} = \text{4000 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{0.86 g}}{\text{1 mL}} = \text{3440 g}$

2. Calculate the mass of salt in the salty oil

$\text{Mass of salt} = \text{3440 g} \times \dfrac{\text{5 g salt}}{\text{100 g oil}} = \text{172 g salt}$

3. Calculate the mass of salt in the spent water

$\text{Mass of salt} = \text{1000 g water} \times \dfrac{\text{15 g salt}}{\text{100 g water}} = \text{150 g salt}$

4. Mass of salt remaining in washed oil

Mass = 172 g - 150 g = 22 g

5. Concentration of salt in washed oil

$\text{Concentration} = \dfrac{\text{22 g}}{\text{3440 g}} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{0.64 \, \%}\\\\\text{The concentration of salt in the washed oil is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{0.64 \, \%}}$}$
