The deployment of airbags during a car accident results from a chemical reaction that, until the 1990s, involved sodium azide, N

aN 3 . Sodium azide has since been replaced by less toxic substances that react in a similar way. In older airbags a crash triggers the decomposition of NaN 3 to form elemental sodium and nitrogen gas , which fills the airbag . How many moles of N 2 gas are produced when 167.7 g NaN 3 decomposes ?

Answer:

Number of moles of nitrogen produced from 167.7 g of sodium azide are 3.87.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium azide = 167.7 g

Moles of nitrogen gas produced = ?

Solution:

First of all we will write the balance chemical equation of decomposition of sodium azide.

Chemical equation:

2NaN₃   →  3N₂  + 2Na

Number of moles of sodium azide:

Number of moles of sodium azide = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of sodium azide = 167.7 g/ 65 g/mol

Number of moles of sodium azide = 2.58 mol

Now we compare the moles of sodium azide with nitrogen from balance chemical equation.

                        NaN₃        :         N₂

                           2            :          3

                          2.58        :           3/2×2.58 = 3.87

Number of moles of nitrogen produced from 167.7 g of sodium azide are 3.87.

Mass of nitrogen produced = moles × molar mass

Mass of nitrogen produced = 3.87 mol × 14 g/mol

Mass of nitrogen produced = 54.18 g.

In glycolysis, if glucose is labeled at the carbon 6 position (see page 1 for numbering of carbons in glucose) A) the carbon wit
Oliga [24]

Answer:

D) the carbon with the low-energy phosphate on it in 1,3 BPG is labeled.

Explanation:

Glycolysis has 2 phase (1) preparatory phase (2) pay-off phase.

<u>(1) Preparatory phase</u>

During preparatory phase glucose is converted into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. Till this time the carbon numbering remains the same i.e. if we will label carbon at 6th position of glucose, its position will remian the same in fructose-1,6-bisphosphate that means the labeled carbon will still remain at 6th position.

When fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is further catalyzed with the help of enzyme aldolase it is cleaved into two 3 carbon intermediates which are glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP) and dihyroxyacetone  phosphate (DHAP).  In this conversion, the first three carbons of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate become carbons of DHAP while the last three carbons of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate will become carbons of GAP. It simply means that GAP will acquire the last carbon of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate which is labeled. Now the last carbon of GAP which has phosphate will be labeled.  

<u>(2) Pay-off phase</u>

During this phase, GAP is dehydrogenated into 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) with the help of enzyme glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. This oxidation is coupled to phosphorylation of C1 of GAP and this is the reason why 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate has phosphates at 2 positions i.e. at position 1 in which phosphate is newly added and position 3rd which already had labeled carbon.

It is pertinent to mention here that<u> BPG has a mixed anhydride and the bond at C1 is a very high energy bond.</u> In the next step, this high energy bond is hydrolyzed into a carboxylic acid with the help of enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase and the final product is 3-phosphoglycerate. Hence, the carbon with low energy phosphate i.e. the carbon at 3rd position remains labeled.

Does heating a cup of water allow it to dissolve more sugar? Temperature of the water is measured in degrees centigrade. Amount
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes heating water allows it to dissolve more Sugars because the molecular distance increases and this distance can be covered by more sugar. In the given question, The independent variable would be the temperature of water.

Since to whatever temperature the water boils at the boiling temperature of  does not change remains hundred degree. Rest all the variables can vary the weight of the amount of sugar with the variable in the temperature of Boiling of water to remain constant.
