To answer your question I will use dimensional analysis, which is used by cancelling out the units. I will also use the balanced equation provided as a conversion factor.

A) First start out with the 0.300 mol of C6H12O6...
0.300 mol C6H12O6 * (2 mol CO2 / 1 mol C6H12O6) = 0.600 mol CO2

*The significant figures (sig figs) at still three, the 2 is a conversion counting number and does not count*

B) First change 2.00 g of C2H5OH to moles of C2H5OH...
The molecular mass of C2H5OH is...
2(12.01 g/mol) + 5(1.008 g/mol) + 16.00 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol = 46.07 g/mol
This can be used as a conversion factor to change grams to moles.
2.00 g C2H5OH * (1 mol C2H5OH / 46.07 g C2H5OH) = 0.0434 mol C2H5OH

Second, you can change the moles of C2H5OH to moles of C6H12O6..
0.0434 mol C2H5OH * (1 mol C6H12O6 / 2 mol C6H12O6) = 0.0217 mol C6H12O6

Third, change moles of C6H12O6 to grams...
MM = 6(12.01 g/mol) + 12(1.008 g/mol) + 6(16.00 g/mol) = 180.16 g/mol
0.0217 mol C6H12O6 * (180.16 g C6H12O6 / 1 mol C6H12O6) = 3.91 g C6H12O6

C) Now I am going to put it all into one long dimensional analysis problem.
MM of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol
MM of C2H5OH = 46.07 g/mol

2.00 g C2H5OH * (1 mol C2H5OH / 46.07 g C2H5OH) * (2 mol CO2 / 2 mol C2H5OH) * (44.01 g CO2 / 1 mol CO2) = 1.91 g CO2

I hope this helped and I am sorry that I talked to much, I just didn't want to miss anything!

The majority of water molecules moving across plasma membranes by osmosis do so via a process that is most similar to ____.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The answer is Facilitated Diffusion

Explanation:

Osmosis is most similar to facilitated diffusion.

Osmosis can be defined as : Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, down a concentration gradient from a low concentrated solution into a more concentrated solution.

Facilitated diffusion is defined as: Facilitated diffusion is the flow of molecules requiring the aid of a protein, across a membrane, down a concentration gradient from a low concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.

Determine the bonding type for boron trihydride given the electronegativity on the Pauling scale for boron is 2.0 and for hydrog

Anika [276]

Answer: The bond between boron and hydrogen in boron trihydride is covalent bond.

Explanation:

The type of bonding between the atoms forming a compound is determined by using the electronegativity difference between the atoms. According to the pauling's electronegativity rule:
