Answer:

Empirical formula:

Fe₂O

Subscript of iron in empirical formula is 2.

Explanation:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula  that gives the smallest whole number ratio between the atoms of elements present in a compound.

Given data:

Mass of iron = 87.47 g

Mass of oxygen = 12.53 g

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of iron = 87.47 /55.845 =1.57 grams atoms

Number of gram atoms of oxygen = 12.53 / 16 = 0.78 grams atoms

Atomic ratio:

Fe                   :          O

1.57/0.78        :       0.78/0.78  

     2               :              1                    

Fe : O = 2  :  1

Empirical formula:

Fe₂O

Subscript of iron in empirical formula is 2.

What happens in the body when we break down carbohydrates? Explain the whole course of events.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Energetic molecules are formed, or rather the energetic currency to be able to live, which we call ATP.

Explanation:

ATP is a molecule that arises from the degradation of carbohydrates, these are destroyed for the first time in the mouth by the enzyme salivary amylase, then by the stomach, and finally they are absorbed in the intestine in the form of glucose, this glucose enters the bloodstream, entering the cells through insulin.

Once glucose is entered into the cell, it completes an energetic cycle, called the krebs cycle, which provides 36 to 38 ATP.

Atp, is adenosine tri phosphate, phosphate bonds protect a lot of energy, this is how the body generates the following reaction when it needs energy, releasing energy to the environment to be able to produce from locomotion to respiration:

ATP -----> ADP + Pi

Can someone please explain me the difference between physical changes and physical properties and of chemical changes and chemic
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Physical properties and physical change:

Physical properties are the properties of substance that do not involve the change in to another matter while the process through which change is happen is called physical change.

For example,

Melting point is physical property and the process "melting" is called physical change.

Freezing point is physical property and the process "freezing" is called physical change.

Chemical property and chemical change:

Chemical property is the ability of substance to change into another substance while the process through through which it is happen is called chemical change or chemical reaction.

For example:

The chemical property of iron is to react with oxygen and form rust. This process or chemical change is called corrosion. So corrosion is chemical change.

Hydrocarbon react with oxygen and form water and carbon dioxide. It is the chemical property. While the process is called combustion so combustion is a chemical change.

When a potassium ion (K+) moves from the soil into the vacuole of a cell on the surface of a root, it must pass through several
insens350 [35]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C) primary cell wall → plasma membrane → cytoplasm → vacuole

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The cell wall is the protective outer layer of a plant cell, that gives the cell strength and structure, and also filters molecules that pass in and out of the cell.
  • Cell membrane acts as a semi-permeable barrier separating the inside of the cell from the outside of the cell. The membrane allows regulation of what enters/exits the cell and how quickly.
  • Cytoplasm is the jelly-like fluid that fills a cell. It is responsible for giving a cell its shape and also helps to fill out the cell and keeps organelles in their place.
  • Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways. They functional in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth.
  • <u>Potassium ion from the extracellular environment will move to the cell vacuole via the cell wall, the cell membrane and then via the cytoplasm to the vacuole.</u>

What is a polyprotic buffer?
coldgirl [10]
Buffers - mixtures of conjugate acid and conjugate base at ±1 pH unit from pH = pKa. Resistant to changes in pH in response to small additions of H+ or OH-. ... Polyprotic acids - dissociation of each H+ can be treated separately if the pKa values are different

A 0.89% (w/v) sodium chloride solution is referred to as physiological saline solution because it has the same concentration of
maks197457 [2]
1) 0.89% m/v = 0.89 grams of NaCl / 100 ml of solution

=> 8.9 grams of NaCl in 1000 ml of solution = 8.9 grams of NaCl in 1 liter of solution

2) Molarity = M = number of moles of solute / liters of solution

=> calculate the number of moles of 8.9 grams of NaCl

3) molar mass of NaCl = 23.0 g /mol + 35.5 g/mol = 58.5 g / mol

4) number of moles of NaCl = mass / molar mass = 8.9 g / 58.5 g / mol = 0.152 mol

5) M = 0.152 mol NaCl / 1 liter solution = 0.152 M

Answer: 0.152 M
