Answer:

This means 20.6% of the original hygrocopic compound is water

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Given data

A hygroscopic compound weighs 5.24 grams

To remove the absorbed water the compound is heated.

After the heating process, the compound weighs 4.16 grams

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the mass of the water

The total mass of the hygroscopic compound = mass of water + mass of dry compound

The mass of water = The total mass of the hygroscopic compound - mass of dry compound

The mass of water = 5.24 grams - 4.16 grams = 1.08 grams

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate the mass percent of water in the original compound

1.08g / 5.24g *100% = 20.6%

<u>Step 4: </u>To control this we can calculate the mass percent of the dry compound

4.16g / 5.24g *100 % = 79.4%

20.6% + 79.4% = 100%

This means 20.6% of the original hygrocopic compound is water

Your body uses about 24 grams of Glucose to run cellular respiration. How many molecules does your body need for cellular respir
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

for the cellular respiration the human body needs 1.424 E21 molecules of glucose

Explanation:

mass glucose = 24 g

∴ Mw glucose = 180.156 g/mol

∴ 1 mol ≡ 6.022 E23 molecules

⇒ mol glucose = (24 g)×(mol/180.156 g) = 0.1332 mol glucose

⇒ molecules glucose = (0.1332 mol glucose)×(6.022 E23 molecules/mol)

⇒ molecules glucose = 1.424 E21 molecules

HEYYY FAM IS THIS RIGHT
Otrada [13]

Answer: A reversible reaction is a reaction that takes place in back and front directions. If the reaction were to reach equilibrium, the rate of forward direction would be equal to that of the reverse reaction.

Explanation:

Reversible reactions :

These are the reaction in which reactants reacts to give product and products reacts to give reactants as a product in return.

        A+B\leftrightharpoons C+D

  • In above equation, 'A' and 'B' are reacting together to give 'C' and 'D', as products and vice-versa.
  • When the above reaction reaches equilibrium the rate of forward and backward reaction becomes equal.

What is the hybridization of the C atoms in C2Cl4 ?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

sp2

Explanation:

Orbital hybridization is defined as the changes in the orbitals of atoms when they pair with electrons of other atoms to form chemical bonds.

C atoms in C2Cl4 or tetrachloroethene have a total of three bond pairs, two with each chlorine atom and one with other carbon atom and zero lone pairs. Thus, C atoms in C2Cl4 is  sp2 hybridized.

Hence, the correct answer is "sp2".
