This fixed percent is called the definite proportion. Specifically, this phenomenon is states in the Law of Definite Proportions. According to John Dalton, all the individual elements making up the compound has a fixed ratio, whether in mass or in moles. For example, for any amount of H₂O, there will always be a fixed proportion of 2 H atoms: 1 O atom.

Answer:

Law of definite proportion

Explanation:

A compound is a substance which is composed of two or more elements. According to the law of definite proportion, a compound is made up of element in definite and fixed ratio (by mass) therefore elements in compounds comprises of fixed percent. This law was given by English chemist john Dalton in 1808.

Answer:

Samira's model is incorrect because not all atoms are accounted for

Explanation:

The image of Samira's model has been attached to this answer to enhance the explanation.

What is depicted in that model is rightly regarded as a chemical change. In a chemical change atoms of substances are rearranged as new substances are formed.

However, all atoms in the products must also be found in at least one of the reactants. In this case we have an atom in one of the products that is not accounted for. Hence the model is incorrect.

How does the presence of oxygen affect the chemical pathways used to extract energy from glucose
lapo4ka [179]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway or cycle that transforms glucose (C6H12O6) into pyruvate, CH3COCOO−, and H+ by producing free energy, this supports in high-energy molecules like ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) and NADH (Nicotinamide adenine di-nucleotide) formation.

The presence of oxygen affect the chemical pathways which is used to extract energy from glucose in glycolysis process as in the presence of oxygen gas all hydrogens stripped off Acetyl CoA, two by two, to remove the electrons for the generation of ATP, until no hydrogen is left and all that remains of sugar is carbon-di-oxide, a waste product and water.

Caluclate the number of grams of oxygen that must react
bonufazy [111]

Answer : The number of grams of oxygen react must be, 170.4 grams.

Solution : Given,

Mass of C_3H_8 = 46.85 g

Molar mass of C_3H_8 = 44 g/mole

Molar mass of O_2 = 32 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of C_3H_8.

\text{ Moles of }C_3H_8=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_3H_8}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_3H_8}=\frac{46.85g}{44g/mole}=1.065moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of O_2

The balanced chemical reaction is,

C_3H_8+5O_2\rightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of C_3H_8 react with 5 mole of O_2

So, 1.065 moles of C_3H_8 react with 1.065\times 5=5.325 moles of O_2

Now we have to calculate the mass of O_2

\text{ Mass of }O_2=\text{ Moles of }O_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }O_2

\text{ Mass of }O_2=(5.325moles)\times (32g/mole)=170.4g

Therefore, the number of grams of oxygen react must be, 170.4 grams.
