The highest atom economy
2CO + O₂ ⇒ 2CO₂
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
The reaction for the production of CO₂
Required
The highest atom economy
Solution
In reactions, there are sometimes unwanted products that can be said to be a by-product or a waste product. Meanwhile, the desired product can be said to be a useful product, which can be shown as the atom economy
of the reaction
the higher the atomic economy value of a reaction, the smaller the waste/ byproducts produced, so that less energy is wasted
The general formula:
Atom economy = (mass of useful product : mass of all reactants/products) x 100
<em>or
</em>
Atom economy = (total formula masses of useful product : total formula masses of all reactants/products) x 100
So a reaction that only produces one product will have the highest atomic value, namely the reaction in option C
<span>The student should
follow following steps to make 1 L of </span>2.0 M CaCl₂.<span>
<span>
1. First he should
calculate the number of moles of 2.0 M CaCl</span></span>₂ in 1 L solution.<span>
</span>Molarity of the solution = 2.0 M<span>
Volume of solution which should be prepared = 1 L
Molarity =
number of moles / volume of the solution
Hence, number of moles in 1 L = 2 mol
2. Find
out the mass of dry CaCl</span>₂ in 2 moles.<span>
moles =
mass / molar mass
Moles of CaCl₂ =
2 mol</span><span>
Molar mass of CaCl₂ = </span><span>110.98 g/mol
Hence, mass of CaCl</span>₂ = 2 mol x <span>110.98 g/mol
= 221.96
g
3. Weigh the mass
accurately
4. Then take a cleaned and dry1 L volumetric flask and place a funnel top of it. Then carefully add the salt into the volumetric flask and
finally wash the funnel and watch glass
with de-ionized water. That water also should be added into the volumetric
flask.
5. Then add some
de-ionized water into
the volumetric flask and swirl well until all salt are
dissolved.
<span>6. Then top up to
mark of the volumetric flask carefully.

7. As the final step prepared solution should be labelled.
Answer: the best statement is 1 (Vitamin B12 (cobolamin) is missing from the vegan diet and very low in the lactovegetarian diet.)
Explanation:
Vitamin B12( cobalamin) is a water soluble vitamin that is essential in the formation of red blood cells. It also serves as a coenzyme in the metabolic reaction of the body. Such reaction includes:
- the remethylation of methionine from homocysteine which is catalyzed by methionine synthase and requires methylcobalamin.
The deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to the following:
- elevated homocysteine ,
- an increase in methylmalonate
This is due to deficiencies in methionine synthase and methylmalonic acid mutase, respectively in individuals on vegan diet for several years.
Vegans are vegetarians that don't include diary or animal products in their meals. This predisposes them to lack of Vitamin B12. Dairy products provide some vitamin B12 in the lactovegetarian diet. Therefore statement 1 is the correct answer, thanks.

Answer:</h3>
2Fe(s) + 3H₂SO₄ → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂(g)
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
The equation for the reaction between iron metal and sulfuric acid is given by;
Fe(s) + H₂SO₄ → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + H₂(g)
We are supposed to balance the equation:
What do we mean by balancing a chemical equation?
- Balancing a chemical equations means that we want to make sure the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
How is balancing done?
- Balancing of chemical equations is try and error process that is done by putting appropriate coefficients on the reactants and products to equate the number of atoms of each element.
Why are subscripts on the compounds not changed?
- Subscripts in a compound show the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound and therefore can never be altered with because it will distort the chemical compound.
Why is it necessary to balance chemical equations?
- Chemical equations are balanced for them to obey the law of conservation of mass.
- According to this law, the mass of the reactants should be equal to the mass of products, which is achieved through balancing an equation.
What is the required balanced equation?
- The equation given can be balanced by putting the coefficients 2, 3, 1, 3 in that order on the reactants and products.
- Therefore, the balanced chemical equation is;
2Fe(s) + 3H₂SO₄ → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂(g)
