Answer:

Mass percentage of phosphorus is 22.54%and mass percentage of chlorine is 77.46%.

Explanation:

Mass of the compound = 50.51 g

Mass of phosphorus atoms produced = 11.39 g

According to law of conservation of mass.

Mass of phosphorus atoms and chlorine atoms = Mass of the compound

Mass of the phosphorus = 50.51 g

Percentage of Phosphorus:

\%(Phosphorus)=\frac{11.39 g}{50.51 g}\times 100=22.54\%

Percentage of Chlorine:

\%(Chlorine)=100\%-(\%(Phosphorus))=100\%-22.54\%=77.46\%

Mass percentage of phosphorus is 22.54%and mass percentage of chlorine is 77.46%.

<u>Ans: P = 22.5% and Cl = 77.5%</u>

<u></u>

<u>Given:</u>

Total Mass of sample containing P and Cl = 50.51 g

Mass of P produced = 11.39 g

<u>To determine:</u>

Mass % of P and Cl

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass % of a given element in a total mass is generally expressed as:

Mass % of element = [mass of element/total mass]*100

Here,

Total mass = mass of P + mass of Cl

mass of Cl = Total - mass of P = 50.51-11.39 = 39.12 g

% P = [11.39/50.51]*100 = 22.5%

%Cl = [39.12/50.51]*100 = 77.5%

In a particular reaction, 53.8 g of liquid silicon tetrachloride is added to 65.0 g of solid magnesium to produce solid magnesiu
kotykmax [81]

Answer: Mg is the excess reactant for the forward reaction.

Explanation: It is a stoichiometry problem and solved with the help of given grams and using balanced equation. Grams of both the reactants are converted to moles and divided by their coefficients. The excess reactant is the one for which we get the highest number on doing above steps.

The balanced equation is:

SiCl_4(l)+2Mg(s)\rightarrow 2MgCl_2(s)+Si(s)

Molar mass of silicon tetra chloride is 169.9 gram per mol and the molar mass of Mg is 24.3 gram per mol.

53.8gSiCl_4(\frac{1mol}{169.9g})

= 0.317molSiCl_4

65.0gMg(\frac{1mol}{24.3g})

= 2.67 mol Mg

From balanced equation, the coefficient of silicon tetra chloride is 1 and that of Mg is 2. So, we will divide the moles of silicon tetra chloride by 1 and that of Mg by 2 and see which one gives highest number.

For silicon tetra chloride, \frac{0.317}{1}  = 0.317

and for Mg, \frac{2.67}{2}  = 1.34

The highest number is for Mg and so the excess reactant for the forward reaction is Mg.

Describe ways a lack of water could affect cell functions?
ladessa [460]

The way a lack of water could affect cell functions is that cell membranes would lack structure.

Osmosis causes water to flow from the cell into the surrounding liquid. This causes the protoplasm all the material inside the cell, to shrink from the cell wall. Excessive water loss leading to cell wall breakdown can lead to cell death. Water is an important part of the protoplasm of living cells as it is directly involved in myriad biochemical reactions such as photosynthesis and respiration.

Without them, cells cannot move waste and byproducts absorb nutrients, carry out intracellular transport functions or send signals. Regulates body temperature. Moisten eye nose and mouth tissues. Protects body organs and tissues. Carry nutrients and oxygen to cells. Plasmolysis is a situation in which cells lose water in hypertonic solutions. the plant cells lose water causing them to shrink or shrink removing the cell cytoplasm from the cell wall.

Which aldehyde is an intermediate in the reduction of ethyl benzoate with lithium aluminum hydride?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

tetrahedral aldehyde

Explanation:

  1. The reaction begins with a hydride nucleophile reacting with the ester carbonyl carbon to form the tetrahedral intermediate.
  1. The carbonyl reforms to produce an aldehyde with the loss of the alkoxide ion.
  2. The resulting aldehyde undergoes a subsequent reaction with a hydride nucleophile to form another tetrahedral intermediate. The carbonyl is not able to reform, because there are no stable leaving groups.
  3. Therefore, the tetrahedral intermediate is protonated to produce a primary alcohol.
