Answer:

A pH indicator is a halochromic chemical compound added in small amounts to a solution so the pH (acidity or basicity) of the solution can be determined visually. Hence, a pH indicator is a chemical detector for hydronium ions (H3O+) or hydrogen ions (H+) in the Arrhenius model.A pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution like water. A pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic solution. Ultimately, the pH value indicates how much H+ has dissociated from molecules within a solution. The lower the pH value, the higher concentration of H+ ions in the solution and the stronger the acid. Likewise, the higher the pH value, the lower the concentration of H+ ions in the solution and the weaker the acid.

What is a cholesterol level of 1.85 g/l in the standard units of mg/dl?

sp2606 [1]

Cholesterol is a sterol, it is a type of lipid molecule, and is biosynthesized by all animal cells. Total cholesterol level lesser than 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) is considered desirable for an adult. The standard unit used for any substance is gram per liter. However sometimes the concentration can also be expressed in terms of mg per deciliter. In this context 1 gram per liter is equal to 100 milligram per deciliter.

Thus 1.85 gram per liter is equal to 185 mg per deciliter. So 1.85 g/L is equivalent to 185mg per deciliter.

5C + 6O2 = ? What will be the product of molecules formed from this equation?

harina [27]

Answer:5 moles ofCarbonmonoxide and 3.5 moles of oxygen gas.This in combine to yield carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

5C + 6O2----------5CO + 7/2O2.

When carbon combine with oxygen, carbon monoxide is formed first and it later recombine with oxygen to yield carbon dioxide.

During an experiment, 95 grams of calcium carbonate reacted with an excess amount of hydrochloric acid. If the percent yield of

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Actual yield: 86.5 grams.

Explanation:

How many moles of formula units in 95 grams of calcium carbonate $\rm CaCO_3$ ?

Refer to a modern periodic table for relative atomic mass data:

Ca: 40.078;
C: 12.011;
O: 15.999.

Formula mass of $\rm CaCO_3$ :

$M(\mathrm{CaCO_3}) = \underbrace{1\times 40.078}_{\rm Ca} + \underbrace{1\times 12.011}_{\rm C} + \underbrace{3\times 15.999}_{\rm O} = \rm 100.086\;g\cdot mol^{-1}$ .

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{CaCO_3}) = \frac{m(\mathrm{CaCO_3})}{M(\mathrm{CaCO_3})} = \rm \frac{95\;g}{100.086\;g\cdot mol^{-1}} = 0.949184\;mol$ .

How many moles of $\rm CaCl_2$ will be produced?

The coefficient in front of $\rm CaCO_3$ in the chemical equation is the same as that in front of $\rm CaCl_2$ . That is:

$\displaystyle \frac{n(\rm CaCl_2)}{n(\rm CaCO_3)} = 1$ .

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{CaCl_2}) = n(\mathrm{CaCO_3})\cdot \frac{n(\rm CaCl_2)}{n(\rm CaCO_3)} = n(\mathrm{CaCO_3}) = \rm 0.949184\;mol$ .

What's the theoretical yield of calcium chloride? In other words, what's the mass of $\rm 0.949184\;mol$ of $\rm CaCl_2$ ?

Again, refer to a periodic table for relative atomic data:

Ca: 40.078;
Cl: 35.45.

$M(\mathrm{CaCl_2}) = \underbrace{1\times 40.078}_{\rm Ca} + \underbrace{2\times 35.45}_{\rm Cl} = \rm 110.978\;g\cdot mol^{-1}$ .

$\begin{aligned}m(\mathrm{CaCl_2}) &= n(\mathrm{CaCl_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{CaCl_2})\\ &= \rm 0.949184\;mol\times 110.978\;g\cdot mol^{-1}\\ &= \rm 105.339\; g\end{aligned}$ .

What's the actual yield of calcium chloride?

$\displaystyle \text{Percentage Yield} = \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}}\times 100\%$ .

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Actual Yield} &= \text{Theoretical Yield}\cdot \frac{\text{Percentage Yield}}{100\%}\\ &=\rm 105.339\; g \times \frac{82.15\%}{100\%}\\&= \rm 86.5\;g \end{aligned}$ .
