A particular sample of fresh carrot is 79% free water. After drying the sample, the carrot’s new mass was 8 g. After burning the

dried carrot until smoke no longer appeared, however, the mass of the remaining ash was 1.2 g. what is the organic content of the carrot tissue expressed as a percentage of fresh weight?

Answer:

17.85% is the organic content of the carrot tissue.

Explanation:

Percentage of water is carrot sample = 79%

Mass of the sample = M

Mass of the water is sample = 79% of M = 0.79M

Percentage of dried carrot sample = 100%-79%=21%

Mass of the carrot sample after drying = 8 g

$21\%=\frac{8 g}{M}\times 100$

$M=38.10 g$

Mass of ash =- 1.2 g

Mass of organic matter = 8 g - 1.2 g = 6.8 g

Percentage of organic matter ;

$=\frac{6.8 g}{38.10 g}\times 100=17.85\%$

17.85% is the organic content of the carrot tissue.

A solution is prepared by mixing 93.0 mL of 5.00 M HCl and 37.0 mL of 8.00 M HNO3. Water is then added until the final volume is

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

$[H^{+}] = 0.761 \frac{mol}{L}$

$[OH^{-}]=1.33X10^{-14}\frac{mol}{L}$

$pH = 0.119$

Explanation:

HCl and HNO₃ both dissociate completely in water. A simple method is to determine the number of moles of proton from both these acids and dividing it by the total volume of solution.

$n_{H^{+} } from HCl = [HCl](\frac{mol}{L}). V_{HCl}(L) \\ n_{H^{+} } from HNO_{3} = [HNO_{3}](\frac{mol}{L}). V_{HNO_{3}}(L)$

Here, n is the number of moles and V is the volume. From the given data moles can be calculated as follows

$n_{H^{+} } from HCl = (5.00)(0.093)$

$n_{H^{+} } from HCl = 0.465 mol$

$n_{H^{+} } from HNO_{3} = (8.00)(0.037)$

$n_{H^{+} } from HNO_{3} = 0.296 mol$

$n_{H^{+}(total) } = 0.296 + 0.465$

$n_{H^{+}(total) } = 0.761 mol$

For molar concentration of hydrogen ions:

$[H^{+}] = \frac{n_{H^{+}}(mol)}{V(L)}$

$[H^{+}] = \frac{0.761}{1.00}$

$[H^{+}] = 0.761 \frac{mol}{L}$

From dissociation of water (Kw = 1.01 X 10⁻¹⁴ at 25°C) [OH⁻] can be determined as follows

$K_{w} = [H^{+} ][OH^{-} ]$

$[OH^{-}]=\frac{Kw}{[H^{+}] }$

$[OH^{-}]=\frac{1.01X10-^{-14}}{0.761 }$

$[OH^{-}]=1.33X10^{-14}\frac{mol}{L}$

The pH of the solution can be measured by the following formula:

$pH = -log[H^{+} ]$

$pH = -log(0.761)$

$pH = 0.119$

A solution is made by dissolving 3.14 g of NaCl in 79.9 mL of water. What is the concentration of sodium chloride in units of we

Trava [24]

The concentration of sodium chloride in units of weight/volume percent is 3.93g/ml

Given that

3.93 (w/v) NaCl

Weight NaCl = 3.14g

Volume of water = 79.9mL

W/V is usually represented in g/mL, so no need to change anything

3.14g/79.9mL *100 = 3.93 g/mL (%)

One mole of NaCl contains 6.022 x 10 23 NaCl formula units.

• Use the mole quantity to count formulas by weighing them.

• Mass of a mole of particles = mass of 1 particle x 6.022 x 1023

• The mass of an atom in amu is numerically the same

as the mass of one mole of atoms of the element in grams.

• One atom of sulfur has a mass of 32.07 amu;

one mole of S atoms has a mass of 32.07 g.

Mass of 1 H atom: 1.008 amu x 1.661 x10-24 g/amu = 1.674 x10-24 g

Mass of 1 mole of H atoms:

1.674 x10-24g/H atom x 6.022 x1023H atoms = 1.008 g

BrainlieSTTTTTT A gas is originally stored at a pressure of 25 atm with a volume of 3 L. If the pressure were increased to 75 at

Crazy boy [7]

Explanation:

Apply Boyle's Law :-

P1V1 = P2V2

Where P1 is 25 atm
V1 is 3L
P2 is 75 atm
V2 is what we need to find out.

25 × 3 = 75 × V2

$\tt{V_2 = \dfrac{ 25 \times 3}{75}}$

$\tt{V_2 = \dfrac{75}{75}}$

<u>So, the answer is d) Part, 1L .</u>

Hope it helps :)
