The given balanced reaction is,

$4Fe(s) + 3O_{2}(g) --->2Fe_{2}O_{3} (s)$

The stoichiometric coefficients of each element or compound represents the number of moles of that element or compound required for the complete reaction to take place.

The mole ratios of different products and reactants will be:

$\frac{Fe}{O_{2}} = \frac{4 mol Fe}{3 mol O_{2}}$

$\frac{Fe}{Fe_{2}O_{3}} = \frac{4 mol Fe}{2 Fe_{2}O_{3}}$

$\frac{O_{2}}{Fe_{2}O_{3}} =\frac{3 mol O_{2}}{2molFe_{2}O_{3}}$

So the mole ratio comparing iron (Fe) and oxygen gas ( $O_{2}$ ) is

An aluminum block has a density of 2.70 g/mL. If the mass of the block is 24.60 g, find the volume of the substance.

harina [27]

Volume of a substance can be determined by dividing mass of the substance by its density.

That can be mathematical shown as:

Density=Mass/Volume

So, Volume=Mass/Density

Here mass of the substance given as 24.60 g

Whereas density of the substance is 2.70 g/mL

So,

Volume=Mass/Density

=24.6/2.7

=9.1 mL

So volume of the substance is 9.1 mL.

Acetone is one of the most important solvents in organic chemistry. It is used to dissolve everything from fats and waxes to air

Yanka [14]

Answer: a. 79.6 s

b. 44.3 s

c. 191 s

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{8.7\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}=79.6s$

b) for completion of 32% of reaction

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-32}$

$t=\frac{2.303}{8.7\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{100}{68}$

$t=44.3s$

c) for completion of 81 % of reaction

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-81}$

$t=\frac{2.303}{8.7\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{100}{19}$

$t=191s$

During beta-oxidation of fatty acids, ___________ is produced in peroxisomes but not in mitochondria. A) acetyl-CoA B) FADH 2 C)

stepan [7]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

Normally, beta-oxidation of fatty acid occurs in the mitchondrial matrix, however, when the fatty acid chains are too long, the beta-oxidation occurs in the peroxisomes where the oxidation is not attached to ATP synthesis but rather transferred (i.e high energy electrons are transferred) to O₂ to form hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). This is the major difference between the beta-oxidation that occurs in the peroxisomes to that which occurs in the mitochondria.

a 25.0-ml volume of a sodium hydroxide solution requires 19.6 ml of a 0.189 m hydrochloric acid for neutralization. a 10.0- ml v

Rashid [163]

Concentration of NaOH = 0.148 molar, M

Concentration of H3PO4 = 0.172 molar, M

Concentration x Volume will give the number of moles of solute in that volume. C*V = moles

Concentration has a unit of (moles/liter). When multiplied by the liters of solution used, the result is the number of moles.

Original HCl solution: (0.189 moles/L)*(0.0196 L)= 0.00370 moles of HCl

The neutralization of 25.0 ml of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, requires 0.00370 moles of HCl. The reaction is:

NaOH + HCl > NaCl and H2O

This balanced equation tells us that neutralization of NaOH with HCl requires the same number of moles of each. We just determined that the moles of HCl used was 0.00370 moles. Therefore, the 25.0 ml solution of NaOH had the same number of moles: 0.00370 moles NaOH.

The 0.00370 moles of NaOH was contained in 25.0 ml (0.025 liters). The concentration of NaOH is therefore:

(0.00370 moles of NaOH)/(0.025 L) = 0.148 moles/liter or Molar, M

====

The phosphoric acid problem is handled the same way, but with an added twist. Phosphoric acid is H3PO4. We learn the 34.9 ml of the same NaOH solution (0.148M) is needed to neutralize the H3PO4. But now the acid has three hydrogens that will react. The balanced equation for this reaction is:

H3PO4 + 3NaOH = Na3PO4 + 3H2O

Now we need three times the moles of NaOH to neutralize 1 mole of H3PO4.

The moles of NaOH that were used is:

(0.148M)*(0.0349 liters) = 0.00517 moles of NaOH

Since the molar ratio of NaOH to H3PO4 is 3 for neutralization, the NaOH only neutralized (0.00517)*(1/3)moles of H3PO4 = 0.00172 moles of H3PO4.

The 0.00172 moles of H3PO4 was contained in 10.0 ml. The concentration is therefore:

(0.00172 moles H3PO4)/(0.010 liters H3PO4)

Concentration of H3PO4 = 0.172 molar, M
