The salivary glands persent in the oral caity secretes wide range of enzymes that help immensely, in the digestion of the food. This includes, saliva, lysozymes, lingual lipase, and haptocorrin. There are two types of salivary glands: serous glands and mixed glands.

Lithium, sodium and potassium are all in group 1 of the periodic table. Which of these has the lowest boiling point?

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Potassium

Explanation:

In group one of the periodic table both the melting and the boiling points usually decrease down the group.

Now, down the group, it's lithium that comes first, then sodium, then potassium.

Thus, among the 3, potassium is furthermost down the group by virtue of the factor it has the highest atomic number.

Therefore, we can say that potassium has the lowest boiling point among the 3.

Answer: The mass of nickel (II) oxide and aluminium that must be used is 18.8 g and 4.54 g respectively.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For nickel:

Given mass of nickel = 14.8 g

Molar mass of nickel = 58.7 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of nickel}=\frac{14.8g}{58.7g/mol}=0.252mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$3NiO(s)+2Al(s)\rightarrow 3Ni(l)+Al_2O_3(s)$

For nickel (II) oxide:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of nickel are produced from 3 moles of nickel (II) oxide

So, 0.252 moles of nickel will be produced from $\frac{3}{3}\times 0.252=0.252mol$ of nickel (II) oxide

Now, calculating the mass of nickel (II) oxide by using equation 1:

Molar mass of nickel (II) oxide = 74.7 g/mol

Moles of nickel (II) oxide = 0.252 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.252mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nickel (II) oxide}}{74.7g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nickel (II) oxide}=(0.252mol\times 74.7g/mol)=18.8g$

For aluminium:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of nickel are produced from 2 moles of aluminium

So, 0.252 moles of nickel will be produced from $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.252=0.168mol$ of aluminium

Now, calculating the mass of aluminium by using equation 1:

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Moles of aluminium = 0.168 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.168mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aluminium}}{27g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aluminium}=(0.168mol\times 27g/mol)=4.54g$

Hence, the mass of nickel (II) oxide and aluminium that must be used is 18.8 g and 4.54 g respectively.

How many milligrams of product can be produced from the complete Diels-Alder reaction of 180. mg of anthracene and 100. mg of ma

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: It will be produced 276,3 mg of product

Explanation: The reaction of anthracene (C14H10) and maleic anhydride (C4H2O3) produce a compound named 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-α,β-succinic anhydride (C18H12O3), as described below:

C14H10 + C4H2O3 → C18H12O3

The reaction is already balanced, which means to produce 1 mol of C18H12O3 is necessary 1 mol of anthracene and 1 mol of maleic anhydride.

1 mol of C14H10 equals 178,23 g. As it is used 180 mg of that reagent, we have 0,001 mol of anthracene. With it, the reaction produces 0,001 mol of C18H12O3.

As 1 mol of C18H12O3 equals 276,3 g, the mass produced is 276,3 mg.
