Answer:

0.8988

Explanation:

To calculate the fractional saturation of hemoglobin , the formula used is

YO_2=\frac{(pO_2)^n}{(p50)^n+(pO_2)^n}

now putting the values

YO_2= \frac{58^3}{28^3+58^3}

= \frac{195112}{21952+195112}

=0.8988

Therefore, fractional saturation of hemoglobin= 0.8988

where

YO_2= fractional saturation of hemoglobin

pO_2= partial pressure of oxygen

p50= is the pO_2 at which hemoglobin is 50% saturated

Determine the percent composition by mass of a 100g salt solution which contains 20g salt
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Mass of solution=100g

mass of salt=20g

so; mass of solute=80g

percentage composition =(mass of salt/total

mass) ×100

=  \frac{20}{100}  \times 100 \\  = 20\%

How can I balance this equation? ____ KClO3 ---> ____ KCl + ____ O2
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
__ KClO₃ → __ KCl + __ O₂

Left Side:
1 K
1 Cl
3 O

Right Side:
1 K
1 Cl
2 O

Since the least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6, we need to multiply the compound with 2 oxygen by 3 and the compound with 3 oxygen by 2.

This gives us 2KClO₃ → __ KCl + 3O₂.

However, this equation is still not balanced.

Left Side:
2 K
2 Cl
6 O

Right Side:
1 K
1 Cl
6 O

In order to balance the K and Cl, we need to multiply the KCl compound on the right side by 2.

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

What is the theoretical yield of aluminum oxide if 1.40 mol of aluminum metal is exposed to 1.35 mol of oxygen?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

71.372 g or 0.7 moles

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Moles of Aluminium is 1.40 mol
  • Moles of Oxygen 1.35 mol

We are required to determine the theoretical yield of Aluminium oxide

The equation for the reaction between Aluminium and Oxygen is given by;

4Al(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Al₂O₃(s)

From the equation 4 moles Al reacts with 3 moles of oxygen to yield 2 moles of Aluminium oxide.

Therefore;

1.4 moles of Al will require 1.05 moles (1.4 × 3/4) of oxygen

1.35 moles of Oxygen will require 1.8 moles (1.35 × 4/3) of Aluminium

Therefore, Aluminium is the rate limiting reagent in the reaction while Oxygen is the excess reactant.

4 moles of aluminium reacts to generate 2 moles aluminium oxide.

Therefore;

Mole ratio Al : Al₂O₃ is 4 : 2

Thus;

Moles of Al₂O₃ = Moles of Al × 0.5

                         = 1.4 moles × 0.5

                         = 0.7 moles

But; 1 mole of Al₂O₃ = 101.96 g/mol

Thus;

Theoretical mass of Al₂O₃ = 0.7 moles × 101.96 g/mol

                                            = 71.372 g
