Answer:

An antioxidant helps in the mopping up and elimination of free radicals and a common example is Glutathione. Oxidation reactions Involves the transfer of electrons or addition of oxygen to a substance.

Antioxidants help in decreasing or prevention of the oxidation of the molecules due to free radicals being formed which causes damage in the cells of animals.

A vessel contains a mixture of gases. The mass of each gas used to make the mixture is known. Which of the following information

faltersainse [42]

Answer: The molar mass of each gas

Explanation:

Mole fraction is the ratio of moles of that component to the total moles of solution. Moles of solute is the ratio of given mass to the molar mass.

$\text{Mole fraction of solute}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Total Moles}}$

Suppose if there are three gases A, B and C.

a) $\text{Mole fraction of A}=\frac{\text{Moles of A}}{\text{ Moles of (A+B+C)}}$

b) $\text{Mole fraction of B}=\frac{\text{Moles of B}}{\text{ Moles of (A+B+C)}}$

c) $\text{Mole fraction of C}=\frac{\text{Moles of C}}{\text{ Moles of (A+B+C)}}$

moles of solute = $\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}$

Thus if mass of each gas is known , we must know the molar mass of each gas to know the moles of each gas.

Which is true about models in science

levacccp [35]

Models in science help you get the idea of what something looks like that's why your teacher may ask you to draw a diagram to help you remember what the object looks like. Hope this helps.

3. A student carries out the clay-catalyzed dehydration of cyclohexanol starting with 10 moles of cyclohexanol and obtains 500 m

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

$49.45~%$

Explanation:

In this case, we have to start with the chemical reaction:

$C_6H_1_2O~->~C_6H_1_0~+~H_2O$

So, if we start with 10 mol of cyclohexanol ( $C_6H_1_2O$ ) we will obtain 10 mol of cyclohexanol ( $C_6H_1_0$ ). So, we can calculate the grams of cyclohexanol if we calculate the molar mass:

$(6*12)+(10*1)=82~g/mol$

With this value we can calculate the grams:

$10~mol~C_6H_1_0\frac{82~g~C_6H_1_0}{1~mol~C_6H_1_0}=820~g~C_6H_1_0$

Now, we have as a product 500 mL of $C_6H_1_0$ . If we use the density value (0.811 g/mL). We can calculate the grams of product:

$500~mL\frac{0.811~g}{1~mL}=405.5~g$

Finally, with these values we can calculate the yield:

$%~=~\frac{405.5}{820}x100~=~49.45%$ %= (405.5/820)*100 = 49.45 %

See figure 1

Write the mole ratios of (2ca+o2➡2cao)

tresset_1 [31]

N(Ca)/2 = n(O)/1 = n(CaO)/2

The calcium and the Calcium Oxide are divided by 2 because of their coefficients
there is no number in front of the oxygen so it is over one.
Hope this helped!!
