Answer:

2.954 g

Explanation:

One banana contains 422 mg

One banana weighs 118 g

To make our calculations easier, we will convert both unit to the same power, that is both of them will be in g.

422 mg = 422/1000 = 0.422 g

If one banana contains 0.422 g of potassium, then 7 bananas(since he eats 1 per day) will weigh

0.422 * 7 = 2.954 g

Thus, after a week, he would have ingested at least 2.954 g of potassium.

I hope you understand the explanations. Thanks

Which of the following describes the boundaries created by earth's tectonic systems
Dvinal [7]
The earth's plates usually move in three different ways resulting in three different types of plate margins/ boundaries: CONVERGENT, DIVERGENT and TRANSFORM plate boundaries.

When plates move towards each other, they collide and this usually either results in the denser of the plates sliding below the other plate or both plates pushing against each other resulting in both plates being pushed upwards to form often times Fold Mountains.  This type of earth tectonics causes a CONVERGENT (destructive; because the collision of the plates results in loss of earth surface area) plate boundary to be formed.

Plates can also pull away from each other and in so doing creating space usually in the form of a fissure between the two moving plates. This fissure usually also for molten earth (magma) rising to the surface and closing the opening between the plates.  This type of earth tectonic is known to form DIVERGENT (constructive; because it usually results in new land being formed) plate margins.

Plates also slide against each other (side to side) thus not resulting in neither the destruction or creation of new land.  This kind of plate margin is known as the TRANSFORM plate boundary.


The diagram below helps to solidify the points made above.

A florist prepares a solution of nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer by dissolving 5.66 g of NH₄NO₃ and 4.42 g of (NH₄)₃ PO₄ in enoug
Alexandra [31]

In finding the molarity of a solution, we use the following formula:

M=moles soluteL solution

What is Molarity?

The number of moles of the solute is calculated by dividing the mass of the solute by its molar mass.

<h3 />

The molar mass of  NH4NO3 and (NH4)3PO4 are  80.043 g/mol and 149.0867 g/mol, respectively.

molesNH+4inNH4NO3=5.66 g80.043 g/mol×1molNH+41molNH4NO3=0.0707 mol

molesNH+4in(NH4)3PO4=4.42 g149.0867 g/mol×3molNH+41mol(NH4)3PO4=0.0889 mol

total molesNH+4=0.0707 mol+0.0889 mol=0.1596 mol

molesPO3−4in(NH4)3PO4=4.42 g149.0867 g/mol×1molPO3−41mol(NH4)3PO4=0.0296 mol

[NH+4]=0.1596 mol20.0 L=7.98×10−3 M NH+4

[PO3−4]=0.0296 mol20.0 L=1.48×10−3 M PO3−4

Therefore, [PO3−4]\\ has a molarity of  1.48×10−3 M PO3−

Consider the following reaction between calcium oxide and carbon dioxide: CaO(s)+CO2(g)→CaCO3(s) A chemist allows 14.4 g of CaO
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Theoretical yield =26.03 g

Percent yield = 87%

Limiting reactant = CaO

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CaO = 14.4 g

Mass of CO₂ = 13.8 g

Actual yield of CaCO₃ = 22.6 g

Theoretical yield = ?

Percent yield = ?

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CaO + CO₂   → CaCO₃

Number of moles of CaO:

Number of moles  = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles = 14.4 g / 56.1 g/mol

Number of moles  = 0.26 mol

Number of moles of CO₂:

Number of moles = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles = 13.8 g / 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.31 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CO₂ and CaO with CaCO₃ .

                  CO₂         :                CaCO₃  

                  1               :                 1

                 0.31           :              0.31

                CaO           :               CaCO₃  

                 1                :                 1

                 0.26         :              0.26

The number of moles of  CaCO₃ produced by CaO are less it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of CaCO₃: Theoretical yield

Mass of CaCO₃ = moles × molar mass

Mass of CaCO₃ =0.26 mol × 100.1 g/mol

Mass of CaCO₃ =  26.03 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 22.6 g/ 26.03 g × 100

Percent yield = 0.87× 100

Percent yield = 87%

Limiting reactant:

The number of moles of  CaCO₃ produced by CaO are less it will be limiting reactant.
