Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf A.\ Protein}}$

Explanation:

Macromolecules play many important roles in the body. Let's list the functions of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.

Proteins:

These molecules help with growth, building and repairing cells, transporting substances, and acting as enzymes or hormones.

Carbohydrates:

These molecules are used for energy. They can provide quick energy, because they are easy to break down.

Lipids:

These help store energy for later use, plus they are sometimes insulators and hormones.

Based on the information, the molecule responsible for repair and growth must be protein.

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

4190.22 L = 4.19 m³.

Explanation:

For the balanced reaction:

2P₂ + 5O₂ ⇄ 2P₂O₅.

It is clear that 2 mol of P₂ react with 5 mol of O₂ to produce 2 mol of P₂O₅.

Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 6.92 kilograms of P₂O₅ produced through the reaction:

no. of moles of P₂O₅ = mass/molar mass = (6920 g)/(283.88 g/mol) = 24.38 mol.

Now, we can find the no. of moles of O₂ is needed to produce the proposed amount of P₂O₅:

Using cross multiplication:

5 mol of O₂ is needed to produce → 2 mol of P₂O₅, from stichiometry.

??? mol of O₂ is needed to produce → 24.38 mol of P₂O₅.

∴ The no. of moles of O₂ needed = (5 mol)(24.38 mol)/(2 mol) = 60.95 mol.

Finally, we can get the volume of oxygen using the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm (P = 606.1 mm Hg/760 = 0.8 atm).

V is the volume of the gas in L (V = ??? L).

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol (n = 60.95 mol).

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K),

T is the temperature of the gas in K (396.90°C + 273 = 669.9 K).

∴ V of oxygen needed = nRT/P = (60.95 mol)(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(669.9 K)/(0.8 atm) = 4190.22 L/1000 = 4.19 m³.

Convert from moles to particles 6.02x1023 particles 1 mole Question 2. 2.7 moles of lithium Question 3. 1.8 moles of sodium chlo

spayn [35]

Considering the definition of Avogadro's number:

the number of molecules of lithium is 1.62621×10²⁴ molecules.
the number of molecules of sodium chloride is 1.08414×10²⁴ molecules.

<h3>Definition of Avogadro's number</h3>

Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023×10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.

<h3>Amount of molecules in this case</h3>

You can apply the following rule of three, considering the Avogadro's number: If 1 mole of lithium contains 6.023×10²³ molecules, 2.7 moles of lithium contains how many molecules?

amount of molecules of lithium= (6.023×10²³ molecules × 2.7 moles)÷1 mole

amount of molecules of lithium=1.62621×10²⁴ molecules

Finally, the number of molecules of lithium is 1.62621×10²⁴ molecules.

On the other hand you can apply the following rule of three, considering the Avogadro's number: If 1 mole of sodium chloride contains 6.023×10²³ molecules, 1.8 moles of sodium chloride contains how many molecules?

amount of molecules of sodium chloride= (6.023×10²³ molecules × 1.8 moles)÷1 mole

amount of molecules of sodium chloride=1.08414 ×10²⁴ molecules

Finally, the number of molecules of sodium chloride is 1.08414×10²⁴ molecules.
