2. How are these nutrients used by your body?

Chemistry
1 answer:
REY [17]3 years ago
7 0

The nutrients that the body breaks down into basic units are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. From carbohydrates comes glucose, your body's -- especially the brain's -- primary form of fuel; from fats we get glycerol and fatty acids, many of which are essential ingredients in hormones and the protective sheath in our brain that covers communicating neurons; and from proteins we get amino acids, which are the building blocks to lots of structures, including our blood, muscle, skin, organs, antibodies, hair, and fingernails.

Each of these nutrients travels down a different pathway, but all can eventually fuel the body's production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is essentially our bodies' ultimate energy currency.

Consider the following reaction between calcium oxide and carbon dioxide: CaO(s)+CO2(g)→CaCO3(s) A chemist allows 14.4 g of CaO
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Theoretical yield =26.03 g

Percent yield = 87%

Limiting reactant = CaO

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CaO = 14.4 g

Mass of CO₂ = 13.8 g

Actual yield of CaCO₃ = 22.6 g

Theoretical yield = ?

Percent yield = ?

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CaO + CO₂   → CaCO₃

Number of moles of CaO:

Number of moles  = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles = 14.4 g / 56.1 g/mol

Number of moles  = 0.26 mol

Number of moles of CO₂:

Number of moles = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles = 13.8 g / 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.31 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CO₂ and CaO with CaCO₃ .

                  CO₂         :                CaCO₃  

                  1               :                 1

                 0.31           :              0.31

                CaO           :               CaCO₃  

                 1                :                 1

                 0.26         :              0.26

The number of moles of  CaCO₃ produced by CaO are less it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of CaCO₃: Theoretical yield

Mass of CaCO₃ = moles × molar mass

Mass of CaCO₃ =0.26 mol × 100.1 g/mol

Mass of CaCO₃ =  26.03 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 22.6 g/ 26.03 g × 100

Percent yield = 0.87× 100

Percent yield = 87%

Limiting reactant:

The number of moles of  CaCO₃ produced by CaO are less it will be limiting reactant.

Practice Problem: True Stress and Strain A cylindrical specimen of a metal alloy 49.7 mm long and 9.72 mm in diameter is stresse
amm1812

Answer:

The true stress required = 379 MPa

Explanation:

True Stress is the ratio of the internal resistive force to the instantaneous cross-sectional area of the specimen. True Strain is the natural log to the extended length after which load applied to the original length. The cold working stress – strain curve relation is as follows,

σ(t) = K (ε(t))ⁿ, σ(t) is the true stress, ε(t) is the true strain, K is the strength coefficient and n is the strain hardening exponent

True strain is given  by

Epsilon t =㏑ (l/l₀)

Substitute㏑(l/l₀) for ε(t)

σ(t) = K(㏑(l/l₀))ⁿ

Given values l₀ = 49.7mm, l =51.7mm , n =0.2 , σ(t) =379Mpa

379 x 10⁶ = K (㏑(51.7/49.7))^0.2

K = 379 x 10⁶/(㏑(51.7/49.7))^0.2

K = 723.48 MPa

Knowing the constant value would be same as the same material is being used in the second test, we can find out the true stress using the above formula replacing the value of the constant.

σ(t) = K(㏑(l/l₀))ⁿ

l₀ = 49.7mm, l = 51.7mm, n = 0.2, K = 723.48Mpa

σ(t) = 723.48 x 106 x (㏑(51.7/49.7))^0.2

σ(t) = 379 MPa

The true stress necessary to plastically elongate the specimen is 379 MPa.
