Why are vitamins and minerals are not classified as a food?

Chemistry
1 answer:
MaRussiya [10]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

these micronutrients are not produced in our bodies and must be derived from the food we eat.

Explanation:

Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients required by the body to carry out a range of normal functions. However, these micronutrients are not produced in our bodies and must be derived from the food we eat. Vitamins are organic substances that are generally classified as either fat soluble or water soluble.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer: The net change in the atoms is the conversion of a neutron to a proton, turning Carbon (6 protons) into Nitrogen (7 protons).

Explanation:

Carbon-14, generated from the atmosphere, has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. That's where the 14 comes from, called the mass number, is the sum of protons and neutrons (6+8=14).

Carbon-14 is radioactive and decays by beta decay. That means one of its neutrons spontaneously turns into a proton, an electron, and a neutrino, according to:

^{14} C \rightarrow\ ^{14} N\ +\ e^-  +\ neutrino

After that, the atom has 7 protons and 7 neutrons, maintaining its mass number but changing its atomic number from 6 to 7, turning into Nitrogen.

The thermite reaction reacts iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3, with aluminium powder,Al, the form aluminium oxide, Al2O3 and iron, Fe.
lara [203]

Answer:

<u><em>This answer assumes that the strated "16.0g of iron" was meant to be 16.0 grams of iron(III) oxide.</em></u>

Explanation:

To start, the thermite equation must be balanced.

I find:

1Fe2O3 + 2Al = 1Al2O3 + 2Fe

This tells us we need 2 moles of Al for every 1 mole of Fe2O3.  

Now calculate the moles of each reactant:

Moles Fe2O3:  16.0 g/159.7 g/mole = <u>0.100 moles Fe2O3</u>

Moles Al:  8.1 /26.98 g/mole = <u>0.300 moles Al</u>

The balanced equation says that in order to react all of the Fe2O3 we'd need twice that amount (in moles) of the Al.  (0.100 moles Fe2O3)*(2) = 0.200 moles Al.

<u>Which of the two reactants is the limiting reagent?</u>

We have more than enough moles of Al to react with 0.10 moles of Fe2O3.  (We have 0.300 moles Al and all we need is 0.200 moles to react with the 0.10 moles of Fe2O3.  <em>Fe2O3 is the limiting reagent.</em>

<u><em>Calculate the maximum mass of iron of iron that could be formed using these quantities of reactants.</em></u>

The balanced equation tells us that we will obtain 2 moles of Fe for every 1 mole of Fe2O3 consumed.  Since Fe2O3 is the limiting reagent, we will assume that it completely reacts.  That means 0.1 moles of Fe2O3 is reacted.  Since we expect twice that many moles of Fe, we should obtain 0.200 moles of Fe.  At 55.85 g/mole, we should obtain:

(0.200 moles Fe)*(55.85 g Fe/mole Fe) = 11.2 grams Fe
