Because gravity treats all mass equally. It doesn't treat heavier objects with greater force. All objects experience the gravitational pull equally. Making the two different weights reach the ground together simultaneously despite their weight differences.

Calculate the mass of H2OH2O produced by metabolism of 2.4 kgkg of fat, assuming the fat consists entirely of tristearin (C57H11
otez555 [7]

Answer:

2,669.58 grams of water will be produced by metabolism of 2.4 kilogram of fat.

Explanation:

2C_{57}H_{110}O_6+163O_2\rightarrow 114CO_2+110H_2O

Mass of fat = 2.4 kg = 2.4 × 1000 g = 2400 g

1 kg = 1000 g

Molar mass of fat = M

M = 57 × 12 g/mol + 110 × 1 g/mol+ 6 × 16 g/mol = 890 g/mol[/tex]

Moles of fat = \frac{2400 g}{890 g/mol}=2.6966 mol

According to reaction , 2 moles of fat gives 110 moles of water. Then 2.6966 moles of fat will give  ;

\frac{110}{2}\times 2.6966 mol=148.31 mol of water

Mass of 148.31 moles of water ;

148.31 mol × 18 g/mol = 2,669.58 g

2,669.58 grams of water will be produced by metabolism of 2.4 kilogram of fat.

Hydrogen sulfide burns form sulfur dioxide:
Helga [31]

Answer: 404.04 kJ.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

moles of H_2S

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{26.7g}{34.1g/mol}=0.78moles

2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)    \Delta H=-1036kJ

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of H_2S on burning produces = 1036 kJ

Thus 0.78 moles of H_2S on burning produces =\frac{1036kJ}{2}\times 0.78=404.04

Thus the enthalpy change when burning 26.7 g of hydrogen sulfide is 404.04 kJ.

The product of the nitration reaction will have a nitro group at which position with respect to the methyl group? Group of answe
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Mostly Para

Explanation:

First, let's assume that the molecule is the toluene (A benzene with a methyl group as radical).

Now the nitration reaction is a reaction in which the nitric acid in presence of sulfuric acid, react with the benzene molecule, to introduce the nitro group into the molecule. The nitro group is a relative strong deactiviting group and is metha director, so, further reactions that occur will be in the metha position.

Now, in this case, the methyl group is a weak activating group in the molecule of benzene, and is always ortho and para director for the simple fact that this molecule (The methyl group) is a donor of electrons instead of atracting group of electrons. Therefore for these two reasons, when the nitration occurs,it will go to the ortho or para position.

Now which position will prefer to go? it's true it can go either ortho or para, however, let's use the steric hindrance principle. Although the methyl group it's not a very voluminous and big molecule, it still exerts a little steric hindrance, and the nitro group would rather go to a position where no molecule is present so it can attach easily. It's like you have two doors that lead to the same place, but in one door you have a kid in the middle and the other door is free to go, you'll rather pass by the door which is free instead of the door with the kid in the middle even though you can pass for that door too. Same thing happens here. Therefore the correct option will be mostly para.
