Iteru [2.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

they regulate the amount of water in the body.

Explanation:

The kidneys help maintain homeostasis by regulating the concentration and volume of body fluids. For example, the amount of H+ and HCO3 - secreted by the kidneys controls the body's pH.

Saponification is a chemical reaction _____. A. due to the presence of a strong organic acid. B. that results in an alcohol and
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

that results in an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.

Explanation:

Saponification is a chemical reaction process of alkaline hydrolysis of esters(R'COOR group) by which soap is obtained.

For Example, when a base such as sodium hydroxide [NaOH]  is used to hydrolyze an ester, the products are a carboxylate salt and an alcohol. Because soaps are prepared by the alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils.

In a saponification reaction, alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils with sodium hydroxide  yields propane-1,2,3-triol and the corresponding sodium salts of the component fatty acids.

i.e  Fat or oil + caustic alkali ⇒ Soap + propane-1,2,3-triol

As a specific example, ethyl acetate and NaOH react to form sodium acetate and ethanol:

The reaction goes to completion in the image below:

Analysis of an unknown sample indicated the sample contained 0.140 grams of N and 0.320 grams of O. The molecular mass of the co
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

the molecular formula of the compound is N2O4

Explanation:

- Find the empirical formula

mole of N present = mass of N divided by molar mass of N = 0.140/14 = 0.01 mole

mole of O present = mass of O divided by molar mass of O = 0.320/16 = 0.02 mole

Divide both by the smallest number of mole to determine the coefficient of each, the smallest number of mole is 0.01 thus:

quantity of N = 0.01/0.01 = 1

quantity of O = 0.02/0.01= 2

thus the empirical formula = NO2

- Now determine the molecular formula by finding the ratio of molecular formula and empirical formula

Molar mass of molecular formula = 92.02 amu = 92.02 g/mole

Molar mass of empirical formula NO2 = (14 + (16 x 2)) = 46 g/mole

the x factor = 92.02/46 = 2

Molecular formula = 2 x NO2 = N2O4
