Answer : The mass of iodine extracted can be 9796.7 mg

Explanation : Given,

Mass of thryoxine = 15.0 g

Molar mass of thryoxine = 776.86 g/mole

The molecular formula of thryoxine is, C_{15}H_{11}NO_4I_4

In C_{15}H_{11}NO_4I_4 compound, there are 15 moles of carbon, 11 moles of hydrogen, 1 mole of nitrogen, 4 moles of oxygen and 4 moles of iodine.

First we have to determine the moles of thryoxine.

\text{Moles of thryoxine}=\frac{\text{Mass of thryoxine}}{\text{Molar mass of thryoxine}}=\frac{15.0g}{776.86g/mole}=0.0193moles

Now we have to determine the moles of iodine.

As, 1 mole of thryoxine has 4 moles of iodine

So, 0.0193 mole of thryoxine has 4\times 0.0193=0.0772 moles of iodine

Now we have to determine the mass of iodine.

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

\text{Mass of iodine}=(0.0772mole)\times (126.9g/mole)=9.7967g=9796.7mg

conversion used : (1 g = 1000 mg)

Therefore, the mass of iodine extracted can be 9796.7 mg

I'm pretty sure it's 9726 milligrams of iodine. Hope this helps.

Which form of co2 transport accounts for the greatest amount of co2 transported in blood?
ra1l [238]
The greatest amount of CO2 transported in blood is in the form of bicarbonate in plasma. Most of the carbon dioxide is converted into bicarbonate with the help of carbonic anhydrase which is an enzyme. This enzyme converts carborn dioxide and water into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The bicarbonate in plasma accounts for about 70% of CO2.

Draw the structure of an alkane or cycloalkane that has more than three but fewer than ten carbon atoms, and only primary hydrog
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

The structures are shown in the figure.

Explanation:

The primary hydrogens are those which are attached to primary carbon.

Primary carbons are the carbons which are attached to only one carbon.

Primary carbons is bonded to three hydrogens.

In order to draw such structure we will draw structures which will have carbon with three hydrogens or no hydrogens (quaternary)

The structures are shown in the figure with clear marking.

7. Calculate the amount of energy required heat 100.g to <br> H2O(s) changes to H2O(l) at 0°C
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

33300J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ice  = 100g

Unknown:

Amount of energy = ?

Solution:

This is a phase change process from solid to liquid. In this case, the latent heat of melting of ice is 3.33 x 10⁵ J/kg.

 So;

            H  = mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of melting ice

  Now, insert the parameters and solve;

            H = mL

 mass from gram to kilogram;

            100g gives 0.1kg

  H = 0.1 x 3.33 x 10⁵ = 33300J
