Ascorbic acid, of vitamin c (c6h8o6), is an essential vitamin. it cannot be stored by the body and must be present in the diet.

what is the molar mass of ascorbic acid? vitamin c tablets are taken as a dietary supplement. if a typical tablet contains 500.0 mg of vitamin c, how many moles and how many molecules of vitamin c does it contain?

Answer:

Molar mass of ascorbic acid is 176 g.

The tablet contains 0.002841 moles and 1.711\times 10^{21} molecules of vitamin C.

Explanation:

Molar mass of vitamin C=(6\times atomic mass of C)+(8\times atomic mass of H)+(6\times atomic mass of O) = (6\times 12 g)+(8\times 1 g)+(6\times 16 g) = 176 g

We know, number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

So moles of vitamin C in 500.0 mg tablet = \frac{0.5000 g}{176 g}

                                                                     = 0.002841 moles

We know 1 mol of a compound contains 6.023\times 10^{23} molecules of that compound.

So number of molecules of vitamin C in 500.0 mg tablet = 0.002841\times 6.023\times 10^{23} molecules =  1.711\times 10^{21} molecules

Molecular formula of ascorbic acid is C_{6}H_{8}O_{6}

Molar mass of ascorbic acid = (6 * 12 g/mol) + (8 * 1 g/mol) + (6 * 16 g/mol) = 176 g/mol

Converting 500.0 mg of ascorbic acid to moles: We use molar mass of ascorbic acid to convert mass to moles.

500.0 mg * \frac{1 g}{1000 g} *\frac{1 mol}{176 g} =   0.00284 mol

Converting 500.0 mg of ascorbic acid to molecules: The conversion factor used is 1 mole = 6.022*10^{23} molecules

500.0 mg * \frac{1 g}{1000 mg}*\frac{1 mol}{176 g} * \frac{6.022*10^{23}molecules}{1 mol} = 1.71 * 10^{21} molecules

How many moles are there in 7.5 L Of H2
True [87]
So multiply number of moles x number of atoms/mole = 1.8066 x 10^24 atoms of H2. One mole of any gas at STP has a volume of 22.4 L. So first determine the number of moles of gas you have.
for example do 7
7.5 \div 22.4
that 's what I think

¿El agua salada es una mezcla homogénea o heterogénea?
Sedbober [7]

The question is in another language, so the English translation of the question is as follows:

Is salt-water a hom.ogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?

Answer:

Hom.ogenous mixture

Explanation:

There are two types of mixtures hom.ogenous and hetergenous.  a heterogeneous mixture has two or more visible phases while a hom.ogeneous mixture is composed of a single visible phase.

The salt-water is hom.ogeneous because the solve dissolve evenly in throughout the entire salt-water sample and gives visible phase.

Hence, the correct option is "hom.ogenous mixture".

Which of the following statement is FALSE? a. Lowering the free energy of the transition state can increase a reaction rate. b.
ryzh [129]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy or free energy of a transition state is defined as the  minimum amount of energy required to by reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction.

So, when activation energy is decreased then molecules with lesser amount of energy can also participate in the reaction. This leads to an increase in rate of reaction.  

Also, increase in temperature will help in increasing the rate of reaction.

Whereas at a given temperature, every molecule will have different energy because every molecule travels at different speed.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options false statement is that at a given temperature and time all molecules in a solution or a sample will have the same energy.
