Insulin Basics: How Insulin Helps Control Blood Glucose Levels. Insulin and glucagon are hormones secreted by islet cells within the pancreas. They are both secreted in response to blood sugar levels, but in opposite fashion! Insulin is normally secreted by the beta cells (a type of islet cell) of the pancreas
Answer:
sodium ion has smaller radius than a atom.
Explanation:
The answer is 60.3% magnesium, 39.7% oxygen.
Solution:
The chemical equation for the reaction is 2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO.
Since magnesium reacts completely with oxygen, it is the limiting reactant in the reaction. Hence, we can use the number of moles of magnesium to get the mass of MgO produced:
moles of magnesium = 14.7g / 24.305g mol-1
= 0.6048 mol
mass of MgO = 0.6048mol Mg(2 mol MgO/2mol Mg)(40.3044g MgO/1 mol MgO)
= 24.376g MgO
We can now solve for the percentage of magnesium:
% Mg = (14.7g Mg / 24.376g MgO)*100% = 60.3%
We also use the number of moles of magnesium to get the mass of oxygen consumed in the reaction:
mass of O2 = 0.6048 mol Mg (1mol O2 / 2mol Mg) (31.998g / 1mol O2)
= 9.676g
The percentage of oxygen is therefore
% O2 = (9.676g O2 / 24.376g MgO)*100%
= 39.7%
Notice that we can just subtract the magnesium's percentage from 100% to get
% O2 = 100% - 60.3% = 39.7%
Explanation:
1 mole is equal to 1 moles Al2O3, or 101.961276 grams.
