Given :

10 gram sample of propane( C₂H₈ ).

To Find :

The number of moles of propane in given sample.

Solution :

Molecular mass of propane, M = (2 × 12) + ( 1 × 8 ) gram/mol

M = 32 gram/mol

We know, number of moles is given by :

Number of moles, n = m/M

n = 10/32 mol

n = 0.3125 mol

Therefore, number of moles in given sample is 0.3125 mol.

A 32.14 gram sample of a hydrate of MnSO4 was heated thoroughly in a porcelain crucible, until its weight remained constant. Aft

amid [387]

Answer:

MnSO₄.7H₂O

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to convert the mass of the dehydrated MnSO₄. The difference between mass of the hydrate and dehydrated compound is the mass of water. With the mass we can find the moles of water and the formula of the hydrate:

Moles MnSO₄ -Molar mass: 151g/mol-:

17.51g * (1mol / 151g) = 0.116 moles

Moles H₂O -Molar mass: 18g/mol-:

32.14g-17.51g = 14.63g * (1mol / 18g) = 0.813 moles

The ratio of moles MnSO₄: Moles H₂O represent the amount of water molecules in the hydrate:

0.813mol / 0.116mol = 7 molecules of water.

The hydrate formula is:

A 50.6 grams sample of magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) is reacted with 45.0 grams of hydrochloric acid (HCl). What is the theoreti

zysi [14]

Mg(OH)2(s) + 2HCl(aq) yield MgCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

grams HCl required = (50.6 grams Mg(OH)2) * (1 mol Mg(OH)2 / 58.3197 grams Mg(OH)2) * (2 mol HCl / 1 mol Mg(OH)2) * (36.453 grams HCl / 1 mol HCl) = 63.26 grams HCl required

Since there are only 45.0 grams HCl, then HCl is the limiting reactant.

theoretical yield MgCl2 = (45.0 grams HCl) * (1 mol HCl / 36.453 grams HCl) * (1 mol MgCl2 / 2 mol HCl) * (95.211 grams MgCl2 / 1 mol MgCl2) = 58.6 grams MgCl2

A diploid somatic ("body") cell has 2n = 20 chromosomes. At the end of mitosis, each daughter cell would have ______ chromosomes

kozerog [31]

Answer:

At the end of mitosis, 2n = 20

At the end of meiosis I, n = 10

At the end of meiosis II, n = 10

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which daughter cell produced are genetically identical to their mother cell. So, no. of chromosome does not change after mitosis.

So, at the end of mitosis, each daughter cell would have 20 chromosome.

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which mother cell produces two haploid cells ones with a single set of chromosomes.

Meiosis is a two step cell division, Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

In meiosis I, homologous pair separates, so no. of chromosomes becomes half.

In meiosis II, sister chromatids separates. So, the number of chromosomes remains same (i.e. Have same no. of chromosome as present in cell produced after meiosis I).

So, at the end of mitosis, each daughter cell would have 20 chromosome.

At the end of meiosis I, each daughter cell would have n = 10 chromosomes. At the end of meiosis II, each daughter cell would have n = 10 chromosomes.
