How many kilograms of water must be added to 6.07 grams of oxalic acid (H2C2O4) to make a 0.025 m solution?

= 6.77M - the initial molarity (concentration)

= 15.00 mL - the initial volume

= 1.50 M - the desired molarity (concentration)
V
b
= (15.00 + x mL) - the volume of the desired solution
(6.77 M) (15.00 mL) = (1.50 M)(15.00 mL + x )
101.55 M mL= 22.5 M mL + 1.50x M
101.55 M mL - 22.5 M mL = 1.50x M
79.05 M mL = 1.50 M
79.05 M mL / 1.50 M = x
52.7 mL = x
59.7 mL needs to be added to the original 15.00 mL solution in order to dilute it from 6.77 M to 1.50 M.

Select the correct empirical formula for each molecular formula given.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

CH₂O

Explanation:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of atoms of different elements in small whole number.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula shows the actual whole number ratio of elements present in compound.

Given molecular formula: C₆H₁₂O₆

Empirical formula = CH₂O

In molecular formula six moles of carbon six moles of oxygen and 12 moles of hydrogen are present.

To get the smallest whole number we divide the each number by 6 and we get CH₂O which is empirical formula of C₆H₁₂O₆.

A sample of hydrogen gas at a pressure of 0.926 atm and a temperature of 29.5 C, occupies a volume of 457 mL. If the gas is allo
klio [65]

Answer:

V₂ = 946.72 mL

Explanation:

Given data;

Initial pressure = 0.926 atm

Initial volume = 457 mL

Temperature = constant = 29.5°C

Final pressure = 0.447 atm

Final volume = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solved through the Boyle's law,

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

by putting values,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

0.926 atm × 457 mL = 0.447 atm × V₂

V₂ = 423.18 atm. mL/ 0.447 atm

V₂ = 946.72 mL

Why chemical industry important for the nation with its examples.
Artyom0805 [142]
The chemical industry is a very important contributor to the wealth of a country. For example it contributes over 1% to the Gross National Product (GNP) of European countries, which is over 6% of the total GNP produced by all manufacturing industries.

If each NADHNADH generates 3 ATPATP molecules and each FADH2FADH2 generates 2 ATPATP molecules, calculate the number of ATPATP m
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

128~ATP

Explanation:

The metabolic pathway by which energy can be obtained from a fatty acid is called <u>"beta-oxidation"</u>. In this route, acetyl-Coa is produced by removing <u>2 carbons</u> from the fatty acid for each acetyl-Coa produced. In other words, for each round, 1 acetyl Coa is produced and for each round 2 carbons are removed from the initial fatty acid. Therefore, the first step is to calculate the <u>number of rounds</u> that will take place for an <u>18-carbon fatty</u> acid using the following equation:

Number~of~Rounds=\frac{n}{2}-1

Where "n" is the <u>number of carbons</u>, in this case "18", so:

Number~of~Rounds=\frac{18}{2}-1~=~8

We also have to calculate the amount of Acetyl-Coa produced:

Number~of~Acetyl-Coa=\frac{18}{2}~=~9

Now, we have to keep in mind that in each round in the beta-oxidation we will have the <u>production of 1 FADH_2 and 1 NADH</u>. So, if we have 8 rounds we will have 8 FADH_2 and 8 NADH.

Finally, for the total calculation of ATP. We have to remember the <u>yield for each compound</u>:

-) 1~FADH_2~=~2~ATP

-) 1~NADH~=~3~ATP

-) Acetyl~CoA~=~10~ATP

Now we can do the total calculation:

(8*2)~+~(8*3)~+~(9*10)=130~ATP

We have to <u>subtract</u>  "2 ATP" molecules that correspond to the <u>activation</u> of the fatty acid, so:

130-2=128~ATP

In total, we will have 128 ATP.

I hope it helps!
