Answer:

23.34 %.

Explanation:

The percentage of water must be calculated as a mass percent.

We need to find the mass of water, and the total mass in one mole of the compound. For that we need to use the atomic masses of each element and take in consideration the number of atoms of each element in the formula unit.

Atomic masses of the elements:

Cd: 112.411 g/mol, N: 14.0067 g/mol, O: 15.999 g/mol, and H: 1.008 g/mol.

Mass of the formula unit:

Cd(NO₃)₂•4H₂O

mass of the formula unit = (At. mass of Cd) + 2(At. mass of N) + 10(At. mass of O) + 8(At. mass of H) = (112.411 g/mol) + 2(14.0067 g/mol) + 10(15.999 g/mol) + 8(1.008 g/mol) = 308.5 g/mol.

Mass of water in the formula unit:

mass of water = (4 × 2 × 1.008 g/mol) + (4 × 15.999 g/mol) = 72.0 g/mol.

So, the percent of water in the compound = [mass of water / mass of the formula unit] × 100 = [(72.0 g/mol)/(308.5 g/mol)] × 100 = 23.34 %

Cellulose could provide an abundant and cheap form of glucose for humans. Why is cellulose not a source of nutrients for humans?

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Option (c).

Explanation:

Cellulose is one of the most important carbohydrate of the plant that provide structural framework to the plant cells. Cellulose is made of the monomer of the glucose that are linked through the beta glycosidic linkages.

Although cellulose contains large number of glucose but it cannot be used as the nutrient source for humans. Humans and other vertebrates lacks the enzyme cellulase that is required for the digestion of cellulose. Cellulose cannot be broken down in the human body.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

Based on the information given about capsules, which of the following types of molecules would you suspect comprises an S. pneum

Sergio039 [100]

"Polysaccharide carbohydrate" comprises an S. pneumoniae capsule.

Option: C

Explanation:

The lengthy sequences of carbohydrate molecules, primarily polymeric carbohydrates constructed of units of monosaccharides linked together through glycosidic connections, understood as Polysaccharides. This carbohydrate can respond to water by catalyzing amylase enzymes, which generate component sugars.

A major human pathogen is Streptococcus pneumoniae or pneumococcus. The virulence is primarily due to its polysaccharide envelope, which protects it from the recipient immune response, and this has led to comprehensive study of the shell.
