Answer:

Cells make up the smallest level of a living organism such as yourself and other living things. The cellular level of an organism is where the metabolic processes occur that keep the organism alive. That is why the cell is called the fundamental unit of life.

If you mix different amounts of two ideal gases that are originally at different temperatures, what must be true of the final st

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

a,c are correct

Explanation:

a) On mixing two gases the final temperature of both the gases becomes the same. The heat will flow from high temp. gas to lower temp gas till the temp of both gases become equal (Thermal equilibrium). This is correct.

b) The rms speed of the molecule is inversely proportional to its molar mass so the final rsm will not be the same. This is incorrect.

c) The average kinetic energy of the system will remain the same. Hence this is also correct.

A 3.00 L flexible container holds a sample of hydrogen gas at 153 kPa. If the pressure increases to 203 kPa and the temperature

dybincka [34]

To solve this we assume that the gas is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant temperature and number of moles of the gas the product of PV is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

P1V1 =P2V2

V2 = P1 V1 / P2

V2 = 153 x 3.00 / 203

<span>V2 = 2.26 L</span>

Please answer, with explanation. Thanks!

Answer:

Explanation:

a = 40.1 g of Ca

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 40.1 g/ 40.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 1 mol

b = 11.5 g Na

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 11.5 g/ 23 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.5 mol

c = 5.87 g Ni

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 5.87 g/ 58.7 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.1 mol

d = 150 g of S

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 150 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 4.7 mol

e = 2.65 g Fe

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 2.65 g/ 55.85 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 mol

f = 0.00750 g Ag

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 0.00750 g/ 107.9 g/mol

Number of moles = 6.95 × 10⁻⁵ mol

g = 2.25 × 10²⁵ atoms Zn

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ atoms × 2.25 × 10²⁵ atoms

0.17 × 2.25 × 10²⁵ moles

38.25 moles

h = 50 atoms of Ba

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ atoms ×50 atoms

0.17 × 10²³ × 50 moles

8.5 × 10²³ moles

The amount ofcalcium present in milk can be determined by adding oxalate to asample and measuring the massof calcium oxalate pre

Sauron [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of calcium in milk is 0.107 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of calcium oxalate = 0.429 g

Molar mass of calcium oxalate = 128.1 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of calcium oxalate}=\frac{0.429g}{128.1g/mol}=0.0033mol$

The given chemical equation follows:

$Na_2C_2O_4(aq.)+Ca^{2+}(aq.)\rightarrow CaC_2O_4(s)+2Na^+(aq.)$

Sodium oxalate is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent. And, calcium ion is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of calcium oxalate is produced from 1 mole of calcium ion

So, 0.0033 moles of calcium oxalate is produced from = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0033=0.0033mol$ of calcium ions

Now, calculating the mass of calcium ions by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of calcium ions = 0.0033 moles

Molar mass of calcium ions = 40 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0033mol=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium ions}}{40g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of calcium ions}=(0.0033mol\times 40g/mol)=0.132g$

To calculate the mass percentage of calcium ions in milk, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of calcium ions}=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium ions}}{\text{Mass of milk}}\times 100$

Mass of milk = 125 g

Mass of calcium ions = 0.132 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of calcium ions}=\frac{0.132g}{125g}\times 100=0.107\%$

Hence, the mass percent of calcium in milk is 0.107 %
