umka21 [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Defective collagen proteins affect an individuals joints, as <u>collagen is an important component protein in body</u><u> connective tissues</u>

Explanation:

Collagen is a crucial protein in the extracellular matrix of various connective tissues in body (tendons, ligaments, muscles). It constitutes major protein component in mammals body.

Collagen Vascular disease is a group of diseases affecting 'collagen' connecting tissue. Apart from inheritance, they can con occur due to autoimmune disease. This implies that body's immune system fights against itself & mistakenly damages its own tissues. So, these diseases have a huge bearing on body joints components. Eg : Lupus , Arthritis are common collagen vascular diseases. Arthritis mostly affects adults above 30 years of age, lupus can be diagnosed in younger people above 15 years of age also.

Calculate how many grams of the product form when 16.7 g of calcium metal completely reacts. Assume that there is more than enou
swat32

39.96 g product form when 16.7 g of calcium metal completely reacts.

<h3>What is the stoichiometric process?</h3>

Stoichiometry is a section of chemistry that involves using relationships between reactants and/or products in a chemical reaction to determine desired quantitative data.

Equation:

Ca(s) + Cl_2(g) → CaCl_2(s)

In this case, for the undergoing reaction, we can compute the grams of the formed calcium chloride by noticing the 1:1 molar ratio between calcium and it (stoichiometric coefficients) and using their molar mass of 40 g/mol and 111 g/mol by using the following stoichiometric process:

m_{ca_C_l_2}= 16.7 g Ca x \frac{1 mol \;of \;Ca}{40g Ca} x \frac{1 mol \;of \;CaCl_2}{1 mol \;Ca} x \frac{111g of \;CaCl_2}{1 mol \;CaCl_2}

m_{ca_C_l_2} = 39.96 g

Hence, 39.96 g product form when 16.7 g of calcium metal completely reacts.

Are nails in a jar with water a chemical change
Digiron [165]
I would say it is a chemical change because after a while, the nails start to rust. Now they only rust after about a week though. But rust is a chemical change.
