Tracie measured 87.47 mg of cholesterol in 0.03 mL of blood. What is the density of this mixture in g/mL?
Lelu [443]

We can use a simple equation to solve this problem.


d = m/v


Where d is the density, m is the mass and v is the volume.


d = ?

m = 87.47 mg = 87.47 x 10⁻³ g

v = 0.03 mL


By applying the equation,

  d = 87.47 x 10⁻³ g / 0.03 mL

  d = 2.92 g/mL



Hence, the density of the mixture is 2.92 g/mL.

Answer:

Option A.

2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, we shall do a head count of the number of atoms present on both side to see which of them is balanced. This is illustrated below below:

For Option A:

2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na

4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H

2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O

Thus, the above equation is balanced.

For Option B:

2Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na

4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 3 H

2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O

Thus, the above equation is not balanced.

For Option C:

2Na + H2O —> 2NaOH + H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na

2 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H

1 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O

Thus, the above equation is not balanced.

For Option D:

Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + 2H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

1 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na

4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 5 H

2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O

Thus, the above equation is not balanced.

From the illustrations made above, only option A is balanced.
