One of the essential minerals in the human body is salt. How much salt (NaCl) is in the average adult human body?

1 answer:

8 0

The human body contains many salts, of which sodium chloride NaCl is the major one, making up around 0.4 per cent of the body's weight. So a 50kgperson would contain around 200g of sodium chloride - around 40 teaspoons. Since we lose salt whenever we sweat, it has to be continually replaced. Answer: C.

Determine the energy in joules of a photon whose frequency is 3.55 x10^17 hz

zaharov [31]

The equation for energy of a photon is E=hv where v equals frequency and h equals the Planck constant (6.626X10^-34). So since you've been given frequency you can just plug in frequency to find the total energy in joules.

E=(3.55X10^17)(6.626X10^-34)
E=2.35223X10^-16

Not sure how many significant figures you needed. Hope this helped.

Sodium carbonate (NaCO3) is sometimes used as a water-softening agent. Suppose that a worker prepares a 0.730 M solution of NaCO

elena55 [62]

Answer : The mass of solute in solution is $1.09\times 10^2g$ .

Solution : Given,

Molarity = 0.730 M

Volume of solution = 1.421 L

Molar mass of sodium carbonate = 105.98 g/mole

Formula used for Molarity :

$Molarity=\frac{w}{M\times V}$

where,

w = mass of solute

M = Molar mass of solute

V = volume of solution in liter

Sodium carbonate is solute and water is solvent.

Now put the given values in above formula, we get the mass of solute in solution.

$0.730mole/L=\frac{w}{(105.98g/mole)\times (1.412L)}$

By rearranging the terms, we get

$m=109.247g=1.09\times 10^2g$

Therefore, the mass of solute in solution is $1.09\times 10^2g$ .

Write a net ionic equation for the overall reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide and hydrosulfuric aci

Helga [31]

Answer:

2OH-(aq) + 2H+(aq) → 2H2O(l)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

sodium hydroxide = NaOH

hydrosulfuric acid = H2S

Step 2: The unbalanced equation

NaOH(aq) + H2S(aq) → Na2S(aq) + H2O(l)

Step 3: Balancing the equation

On the left side we have 1x Na (in NaOH), on the right side we have 2x Na (in Na2S). To balance the amount of Na on both sides, we have to multiply NaOH on the left side by 2.

2NaOH(aq) + H2S(aq) → Na2S(aq) + H2O(l)

On the left side we have 4x H (2x in NaOH and 2x in H2S), on the right side we have 2x H (in H2O). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply H2O on the right side by 2. Now the equation is balanced.

2NaOH(aq) + H2S(aq) → Na2S(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Step 4: The net ionic equation

2Na+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + 2H+(aq) + S^2-(aq) → 2Na+(aq) + S^2-(aq) + 2H2O(l)

The net ionic equation, for which spectator ions are omitted - remember that spectator ions are those ions located on both sides of the equation - will , after canceling those spectator ions in both side, look like this:

2OH-(aq) + 2H+(aq) → 2H2O(l)

The acidity of normal rain water is due to ______. a) SO2 b) CO2 c) NO2 d) NO

Viktor [21]

The correct answer choice is CO₂ (B)

Rainwater naturally contains acids derived from carbon dioxide in the air and reacts with water vapor to form weak acids

H₂O + CO₂ ---> H₂CO₃

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>

Rainwater can cause damage to buildings, animals or plants due to acid rain

Acid rain occurs because other gases in the air mix with toxic gases to form acids

Rainwater naturally contains acids derived from carbon dioxide in the air and reacts with water vapor to form weak acids

H₂O + CO₂ ---> H₂CO₃

However, due to exhaust gases from industry, motor vehicles, or power plants that use fossil fuels containing sulfur to produce sulfur dioxide gas which will produce sulfuric acid

Sulfur combustion from fossil fuels

S + O₂ ----> SO₂

SO₂ produced from this exhaust gas reacts with O₂ oxygen which oxidizes SO₂ to SO₃

SO₂ + O₂ ----> SO₃

SO3 formed reacts with water vapor in the air to produce sulfuric acid as acid rain

SO₃ + H₂O ---> H₂SO₄

To reduce the pollution from this fossil fuel, various studies are now carried out as substitute energy that is more environmentally friendly such as solar energy and so on
