Find the molar mass of vitamin A (C20H30O).

1 answer:

3 0

Just add up the molar masses of each element.

Molar mass of C: 12.011 g/mol
The equation says C20, which means there are 20 carbon atoms in each molecule of Vitamin A. So, we multiply 12.011 by 20 to get 240.22 g/mol carbon.

Molar mass of H: 1.0079 g/mol
The equation says C30, which means there are 30 hydrogen atoms in each molecule of Vitamin A. So, we multiply 1.0079 by 30 to get 30.237 g/mol hydrogen.

Molar mass of O: 15.999 g/mol
The equation says O without a number, which means there is only one oxygen atom in each molecule of Vitamin A. So, we leave O at 15.999 g/mol.

Then, just add it up:
240.22 g/mol C + 30.237 g/mol H + 15.999 g/mol O = 286.456 g/mol C20H30O

So, the molar mass of Vitamin A, C20H30O, is approximately 286.5 g/mol.

raketka [301]

Answer:

THEY ALL INVOLVE FIGHTING PATHOGENS

Explanation:

The immune system which is involved in defending the body against infections are diseases involves three lines of defense which are all involved in fighting against pathogens. Pathogens are invaders which when introduced into the body causes harm and therefore makes us sick. The body's first line of defense includes the physical barriers such as the skin, mucous membrane; chemical barriers such as tears, saliva, gastric acid in the stomach. These helps to keep the pathogens from entering the delicate parts of the body and once the pathogens find their way out of the reach of the first line of defense, the second line of defense is initiated. This includes inflammatory effects, swelling, redness, phagocytosis by neutrophils and macrophages. The third line of defense is the actions of lymphocytes which acts on invading microbes. The lymphocytes are of two types; the B and T cells. B cells produces antibodies which fight the antigens and T cells attack the infected cells of the body. There is also the memory cells which keeps information about the invading microbes for future attacks. This enables the body to respond swiftly when next the same type of pathogens attack.

Percentage yield of sodium peroxide if 5 g of sodium oxide produces 5.5 g of sodium peroxide

Rama09 [41]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

87.40 %

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept being tested: Percent yield of a product

We are given;

Mass of Sodium oxide 5 g

Experimental or Actual yield of sodium peroxide IS 5.5 g

We are required to calculate the percent yield of sodium peroxide;

The equation for the reaction that forms sodium peroxide is

2Na₂O + O₂ → 2Na₂O₂

<h3>Step 1; moles of sodium oxide</h3>

Moles = mass ÷ molar mass

Molar mass of sodium oxide is 61.98 g/mol

Therefore;

Moles = 5 g ÷ 61.98 g/mol

= 0.0807 moles

<h3>Step 2: Theoretical moles of sodium peroxide produced </h3>

From the equation, 2 moles of sodium oxide produces 1 mole of sodium peroxide.

Thus, moles of sodium peroxide used is 0.0807 moles

<h3>Step 3: Theoretical mass of sodium peroxide used</h3>

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of sodium peroxide = 77.98 g/mol

Therefore;

Theoretical mass = 0.0807 moles × 77.98 g/mol

= 6.293 g

Theoretical mass of Na₂O₂ is 6.293 g

<h3>Step 4: Percent yield of Na₂O₂</h3>

We know that percent yield is given by the ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield expressed as a percentage.

$Percent yield=(\frac{Actual yield}{theoretical yield})100$

$Percent yield(Na_{2}O_{2})=(\frac{5.5g}{6.293g})100$

= 87.40 %

Therefore, the percentage yield of sodium peroxide is 87.4%

What most likely led to a change in the widely accepted theory of evolution? new experiments involving genes and evolution exper

ss7ja [257]

Incomplete question. Full question reads;

Darwin developed the theory of evolution to explain why there are so many different kinds of living things. He could easily observe that offspring of any animals were slightly different from their parents and that this could allow for big changes over thousands of years. He did not know that genes caused the differences. Genes are now very important in the modern theory of evolution.

What most likely led to a change in the widely accepted theory of evolution?

Answer:

<u>new experiments involving genes and evolution </u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Indeed, the original theory of evolution has experienced several changes in its acceptance because of its imperfect and wrong assumptions not based on generally acceptable scientific facts,

Hence, new experiments involving genes and evolution has led to a change (disagreements and few agreements) in the widely accepted theory of evolution.
