The body uses atoms in different ways to accomplish different tasks. For example, one portion of the body's calcium supply stren

gthens bones, whereas another portion combines with proteins to stimulate blood clotting after tissue injury. Which of the following statements provides the most logical chemical explanation of calcium's ability to perform such different functions?a. The calcium in blood is a more reactive form of the atom and therefore has fewer protons than the calcium in bone.
b. there are many different isotopes of calcium, and the most reactive isotope is found in the bone.
c. the bone contains calcium salts, which are less reactive than the calcium ions found in the blood.
d. the calcium in blood has a lighter atomic mass than the calcium in bone and is in a more reactive form.

Answer:

The correct option is;

c. the bone contains calcium salts, which are less reactive than the calcium ions found in the blood.

Explanation:

The most abundant metallic element found in the human body is calcium as it is present in the bones teeth and metabolism of the kidney

99 %  of the calcium in the human body are found in the bones while the remaining 1 % circulates in the blood as ions

The bones of the vertebrate are made up of calcium salts such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and calcium fluoride.

Helium can be liquefied when he atoms are attracted to one another by intermolecular ________ forces.
Akimi4 [234]

Helium can be liquefy through a very low temperature because of the weakness of attractions between the helium atoms. In addition, helium is a noble gas that has a very weak interatomic London dispersion forces. Thus, this element would remain liquid at atmospheric pressure all the way to its liquefaction point going to absolute zero.

2.56 g of hydrogen reacts completely with 20.32 g of oxygen<br> to form X g of water. X = g
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Mass of water produced is 22.86 g.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 2.56 g

Mass of oxygen = 20.32 g

Mass of water = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →  2H₂O

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 20.32 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.635 mol

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.56 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.28 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen and hydrogen.

                    O₂            :            H₂O

                     1              :             2

                  0.635        ;            2×0.635 =  1.27

                   H₂             :              H₂O

                    2              :              2

                 1.28            :           1.28

The number of  moles of water produced by oxygen are less thus it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of water produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.27 × 18 g/mol

Mass = 22.86 g

"11. Barium nitrate reacts with aqueous sodium sulfate to produce solid barium sulfate and aqueous sodium nitrate. Abigail place
Amanda [17]

Answer:

44 mL of Na2SO4

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

Ba(NO3)2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) —> BaSO4 (s) + 2NaNO3 (aq)

Step 2:

Determination of the number of mole of Ba(NO3)2 in 20.00 mL of 0.500 M barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2). This is illustrated below:

Molarity of Ba(NO3)2 = 0.5 M

Volume of solution = 20 mL = 20/1000 = 0.02 L

Mole of solute (Ba(NO3)2) =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

0.5 = Mole of Ba(NO3)2 / 0.02

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Mole of Ba(NO3)2 = 0.5 x 0.02

Mole of Ba(NO3)2 = 0.01 mole

Step 3:

Determination of the number of mole of Na2SO4 that reacted.

Ba(NO3)2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) —> BaSO4 (s) + 2NaNO3 (aq)

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Ba(NO3)2 reacted with 1 mole of Na2SO4.

Therefore, 0.01 mole of Ba(NO3)2 will also react with 0.01 mole of Na2SO4.

Step 4:

Determination of the volume of Na2SO4 needed for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Mole of Na2SO4 = 0.01 mole

Molarity of Na2SO4 = 0.225M

Volume =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

0.225 = 0.01 / volume

Cross multiply to express in linear form

0.225 x Volume = 0.01

Divide both side by 0.225

Volume = 0.01/0.225

Volume of Na2SO4 = 0.044 L

Converting 0.044 L to mL, we have

Volume of Na2SO4 = 0.044 x 1000

Volume of Na2SO4 = 44 mL

Therefore, 44 mL of Na2SO4 is needed for the reaction
