What do you put in the calculator to get the molar mass of Mg3P2
olga55 [171]

Input the atomic masses of Mg and P to give 134.84g/mol

Explanation:

The molar mass of a substance (atom or molecule or compound) is the mass in grams of one mole of the substance:

When dealing with an element the molar mass is the relative atomic mass expressed as g/mol.

For compounds, you add the atomic masses of the component atoms and you sum up.

You simply input the atomic mass of 3 atoms of Mg and 2 atoms of P

Atomic mass of Mg = 24.3g/mol

                             P = 30.97g/mole

Molar mass of Mg₃P₂ = 3(24.3) + 2(30.97) = 134.84g/mol

Answer:

a. The limiting reactant is Ca(OH)₂

b. The theoretical yield of CaCl₂ is approximately 621.488 grams

c. The percentage yield of CaCl₂ is approximately 47.06%

Explanation:

a. The given chemical reaction is presented as follows;

Ca(OH)₂ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + 2H₂O

Therefore;

One mole of Ca(OH)₂ reacts with two moles of HCl to produce one mole of CaCl₂ and two moles of water H₂O

The mass of HCl in an experiment, m₁ = 229.70 g

The mass of Ca(OH)₂ in an experiment, m₂ = 207.48 g

The molar mass of HCl, MM₁ = 36.458 g/mol

The molar mass of Ca(OH)₂, MM₂ =74.093 g/mol

The number of moles of HCl, present, n₁ = m₁/MM₁

∴ n₁ = m₁/MM₁ = 229.70 g/(36.458 g/mol) ≈ 6.3 moles

The number of moles of Ca(OH)₂, present, n₂ = m₂/MM₂

∴ n₂ = m₂/MM₂ = 207.48 g/(74.093 g/mol) ≈ 2.8 moles

The number of moles of Ca(OH)₂, present, n₂ = 2.8 moles

According the chemical reaction equation the number of moles of HCl the 2.8 moles of Ca(OH)₂ will react with, = 2.8 × 2 moles = 5.6 moles of HCl

Therefore, there is an excess HCl in the reaction and Ca(OH)₂ is the limiting reactant

b. According the chemical reaction equation the number of moles of CaCl₂ produced in he reaction by the 2.8 moles of Ca(OH)₂ = 2.8 × 2 moles = 5.6 moles of CaCl₂

The molar mass of CaCl₂ = 110.98 g/mol

The mass of the 5.6 moles of CaCl₂ = 5.6 moles × 110.98 g/mol ≈ 621.488 grams

The theoretical yield of CaCl₂ ≈ 621.488 grams

c. Given that the actual mass of CaCl₂ produced = 292.5 grams, we have;

The percentage yield of CaCl₂ = The actual yield/(The theoretical yield) × 100

∴ The percentage yield of CaCl₂ = (292.5 g)/(621.488 g) × 100 ≈ 47.0644646397%

The percentage yield of CaCl₂ ≈ 47.06%.

Kepler’s second law of planetary motion states which of the following?
aev [14]
Kepler stated three laws of planetary motion.

First law states that the pathway of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the foci.

Second law states that an imaginary line joining the Sun and a planet sweeps out equal areas during equal lengths of time.

Third law states that the square of the period of the orbit of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the length of the distance from the Sun.

Therefore, the answer is that Kepler's second law of planetary motion states that planets cover the same area during equal time periods.

The difference between cow stomach and human stomach​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The primary distinction between the digestive systems of cows and humans is that the former uses a foregut fermenter while the latter uses a straightforward monogastric digestion. The types of teeth, mouths, stomachs, guts, and digestive enzymes released by the gut also vary between the two digestive systems. Cows and humans have different digestive systems because they have evolved two different sorts of dietary patterns based on their capacities. The primary distinctions between the digestive systems of cows and humans are in the types of teeth, mouths, stomachs, and intestines, as well as the enzymes released.

Transamination of an amino acid transfers an amine group to form an α‑keto acid and is catalyzed by transaminases. Some amino ac
iragen [17]

Answer:

Amino acids that fall under the first category are alanine, aspartate and glutamate. While amino acids that fall under the second category are glycine, valine, proline, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, serine, threonine, cysteine, asparagine, glutamine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine, lysine, arginine and histidine

Explanation:

Alanine, a 3-carbon amino acid reacts with α-ketoglutarate, a 5-carbon ketoacid, to produce pyruvate, a 3-carbon compound which is one of the glycolytic products in aerobic respiration, and glutamate, a 5-carbon amino acid, with the aid of alanine transaminase (ALT). The amino group from alanine is transfered from the α-carbon of alanine to the α-carbon of the α-ketoglutarate.

Aspartate, a 4-carbon amino acid also reacts with α-ketoglutarate to form oxaloacetate, a 4-carbon ketoacid which is present as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, and glutamate. The amino group transfer occurs between the α-carbon of aspartate and the α-carbon of α-ketoglutarate.

Unlike the presence of a ketoacid in the conversion of alanine and aspartate to their corresponding amino acids, glutamate conversion to α-ketoglutarate, an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, involves no ketoacids as an amino group acceptor from glutamate. The amino group is freely released as an ammonium ion. The reaction involves the presence of a cofactor, NAD+ or NADP+, water (H2O) and glutamate dehygrogenase (GDH).

Other amino acids involve several metabolic steps to be converted into glycolytic or citric acid intermediates.
