Answer:

Options a,b, c and d are correct

Explanation:

From the diagram attached in the picture below, They both have steroid nucleus since they have functional groups (such as the methyl and the ketone groups) that are spatially attached. It can also be deduced that both structures have three (3) ketone groups (CO/C=O), two (2) methyl groups (CH₃) and two (2) hydroxyl groups (OH). Hence, options a, b,c and d are correct.

However, cortisone has one (1) double bond while prednisone has two (2) double bonds.

How many moles of H2O form when 4.5 moles O2 reacts?

mart [117]

Explanation:

Start with a balanced equation.

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Assuming that H2 is in excess, multiply the given moles H2O by the mole ratio between O2 and H2O in the balanced equation so that moles H2O cancel.

5 mol H2O × (1 mol O2/2 mol H2O) = 2.5 mol O2

Answer: 2.5 mol O2 are needed to make 5 mol H2O, assuming H2 is in excess.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

6.00 moles of sodium permanganate

Explanation:

Let us attempt to count the number of atoms present in sodium perchlorate. The formula of the compound is NaClO4

Sodium atoms - 1

Chlorine atoms - 1

Oxygen atoms -4

Total number of atoms = 6

Among the options, only KMnO4 also has six atoms. One atom of potassium, one atom of manganese and four atoms of oxygen.
