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 are heat, temperature, and thermal energy related?​
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Heat, temperature, and thermal energy are related because they all work with each other.

Explanation:

First of all, everything start's off with temperature. It starts off low. But when heat is added to it, it rises and the temperature goes up. This causes thermal energy to the objects touching it. The hotter it is the faster the particles move and the more kinetic energy they have.

A mixture of methane and air is capable of being ignited only if the mole percent of methane is between 5% and 15%. A mixture co
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The air 9% mole% methane have an average molecular weight of:

9%×16,04g/mol + 91%×29g/mol = 27,8g/mol

And a flow of 700000g/h÷27,8g/mol = 25180 mol/h

In the reactor where methane solution and air are mixed:

In = Out

Air balance:

91% air×25180 mol/h + 100% air×X = 95%air×(X+25180)

Where X is the flow rate of air in mol/h = <em>20144 mol air/h</em>

<em></em>

The air in the product gas is

95%×(20144 + 25180) mol/h = 43058 mol air× 21%O₂ = 9042 mol O₂ ×32g/mol = <em>289 kg O₂</em>

43058 mol air×29g/mol <em>1249 kg air</em>

Percent of oxygen is: \frac{289kg}{1249 kg} =<em>0,231 kg O₂/ kg air</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
