Please help: How do oxidation reactions help people with diabetes monitor their blood glucose levels? Thank you!!!

Chemistry
1 answer:
solong [7]3 years ago

Answer:-

People with diabetes must monitor their blood glucose levels constantly.

Blood glucose levels are nowadays measured by the help of enzyme glucose oxidase. The enzyme glucose oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid.

By this way all of the glucose is measured at one time. At the same time hydrogen peroxide is produced.

The hydrogen peroxide reacts with a second color producing chemical. The concentration of the glucose can be related to the intensity of color produced

Answer:

Mass of hydrogen gas produced = 0.2 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Mg = 0.2 mol

Number of moles of HCl = 0.2 mol

Mass of hydrogen gas produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Mg + 2HCl       →     MgCl₂ + H₂

Now we will compare the moles of of hydrogen with Mg and HCl.

                   Mg          :        H₂

                    1             :         1

                   0.2          :       0.2

                 HCl           :       H₂

                   2             :         1

                0.2            :         1/2×0.2 = 0.1

HCl produced less number of moles of hydrogen gas it will act as limiting reactant.

Mass of hydrogen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.1 mol × 2 g/mol

Mass = 0.2 g

Someone please help? I've had a go at this myself (see picture of working attached) but not sure where to go from there?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

75 ml of 0.1M  base neutralizes 25 ml of 0.1M acid, which means the acid has 0.3 moles/L of H ion

but that means each molecule of the acid has 3 times as many H ions aH ions in a molecule of NaOH

which means the formula for the acid must be H3A and

the value of x in

HxA is 3

Explanation:

75ml of a solutipn of 0.1moL  l-1 NaOH neutralises 25ml of a solution of an acid. The formula of the acid is HxA and the concentration of the acid is 0.1mol l-1. What is the value of x?​

the concentration of both the and the base are the same at 0.1M

the base...NaOH has 0.1 moles/L of OH ion

75 ml of 0.1M  base neutralizes 25 ml of 0.1M acid, which means the acid has 0.3 moles/L of H ion

but that means each molecule of the acid has 3 times as many H ions aH ions in a molecule of NaOH

which means the formula for the acid must be H3A and the value of x in

HxA is 3

How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis similar
Nimfa-mama [501]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2><em>Cellular respiration takes a glucose molecule and combines it with oxygen; the result is energy in the form of ATP, along with carbon dioxide and water as waste products. Photosynthesis takes carbon dioxide and combines it with water, enabled by radiant energy, usually from the sun.</em></h2><h2><em>Explanation:</em></h2><h2><em></em></h2>
