Answer:

94.3 grams

Explanation:

MW of C2HF3O2 is 114g/mol

MW of oxygen in C2HF3O2 is 32g/mol

% composition of oxygen in C2HF3O2 = 32/114 × 100 = 28.1%

Mass of oxygen = 26.5 grams

Mass of trifluoroacetic acid = 26.5/0.281 = 94.3 grams

Answer:

94.406 grams of the trifluoroacetic acid sample.

Explanation:

Mass of oxygen in trifluoroacetic acid = 26.5 g

Moles of oxygen = $\frac{26.5 g}{16 g/mol}=1.65625 mol$

1 mole of trifluoroacetic acid has 2 moles of oxygen element.

Then n moles of trifluoroacetic acid have 1.65625 mole of oxygen element.

$n\times 2=1.65625 mol$

$n=\frac{1.65625 mol}{2}=0.828125 mol$

Mass of 0.828125 moles of trifluoroacetic acid = m

Molar mass trifluoroacetic acid = M = 114 g/mol

$m=n\times M=0.828125 mol\times 114 g/mol=94.406 g$

94.406 grams of the trifluoroacetic acid sample.

Identify the true statement(s). There may be one answer or more than one answer.FADH2 is a reducing agent. FADH2 is an oxidizing

adell [148]

Answer:

FADH2 is a reducing agent.

FAD is an oxidizing agent.

Explanation:

The full form of FAD is flavin adenine dinucleotide. It is mainly a redox-active coenzyme which is associated with the different proteins and is involved with the enzymatic reactions in the metabolism.

FAD is obtained by donating or accepting electrons.

In the citric acid cycle,

succinate + FAD → fumarate + $FADH_2$

Thus we see that FAD is an oxidizing agent while $FADH_2$ is a reducing agent.

An actacide tablet containing Mg(OH)2 (MM = 58.3g / (mol)) is titrated with a 0.100 M solution of HNO3. The end point is determi

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

0.0583g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

2HNO3(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) -------> Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

From the question, number of moles of HNO3 reacted= concentration × volume

Concentration of HNO3= 0.100 M

Volume of HNO3 = 20.00mL

Number of moles of HNO3= 0.100 × 20/1000

Number of moles of HNO3 = 2×10^-3 moles

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of HNO3 reacts with 1 mole of Mg(OH)2

2×10^-3 moles reacts with 2×10^-3 moles ×1/2 = 1 ×10^-3 moles of Mg(OH)2

But

n= m/M

Where;

n= number of moles of Mg(OH)2

m= mass of Mg(OH)2

M= molar mass of Mg(OH)2

m= n×M

m= 1×10^-3 moles × 58.3 gmol-1

m = 0.0583g

Which statement is TRUE about oxidation-reduction reactions? a. Every oxidation must be accompanied by a reduction. b. There are

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Every oxidation must be accompanied by a reduction.

Explanation:

Oxidation and reduction are complementary processes. There can be no oxidation without reduction and vice versa. It is actually a given an take affair. A specie looses electrons which must be gained by another specie to complete the process. This explains why the selected option is the correct one.
