Magnesium is a nutrient that the body needs to stay healthy. if you dont get enough magnesium in your body then you could get magnesium deficiency. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and weakness. Extreme magnesium deficiency can cause numbness, tingling, muscle cramps, seizures, personality changes, and an abnormal heart rhythm. The RDA for magnesium is 310–420 mg for adults depending on age and gender. Sources of magnesium are greens, nuts, seeds, dry beans, whole grains and low-fat dairy products.

random facts:

A magnesium ion is present in the chlorophyll molecule of every living green plant.

Magnesium is critically important for the human metabolic system's functioning.

Which shows the correct relationship between the molecular formula and the empirical formula for C2H10N2?

SIZIF [17.4K]

The correct answer is A. molecular formula = 2 x empirical formula

The given compound C2H10N2 is the molecular formula because the ratios of the elements are not reduced into lowest terms (empirical formula). To get the empirical formula, the ratios must be reduced to the smallest possible integral ratio which gives CH5N. As a result, the ratio between both formulas is 2.

Which macromolecules break apart by hydrolysis?

ankoles [38]

Answer:

Dehydration synthesis reactions build molecules up and generally require energy, while hydrolysis reactions break molecules down and generally release energy. Carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids are built up and broken down via these types of reactions, although the monomers involved are different in each case.

An aqueous CsCl solution is 8.00 wt% CsCl and has a density of 1.0643 g/mL at 20°C. What is the boiling point of this solution?

umka2103 [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The boiling point of solution is 100.53

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

8.00 wt % of CsCl

This means that 8.00 grams of CsCl is present in 100 grams of solution

Mass of solvent = (100 - 8) g = 92 grams

The equation used to calculate elevation in boiling point follows:

$\Delta T_b=\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of pure solution}$

To calculate the elevation in boiling point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_b=iK_bm$

Or,

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of pure solution}=i\times K_b\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

where,

Boiling point of pure solution = 100°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 2 (For CsCl)

$K_b$ = molal boiling point elevation constant = 0.51°C/m

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (CsCl) = 8.00 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (CsCl) = 168.4 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (water) = 92 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-100=2\times 0.51^oC/m\times \frac{8.00\times 1000}{168.4g/mol\times 92}\\\\\text{Boiling point of solution}=100.53^oC$

Hence, the boiling point of solution is 100.53

Determine the value of the equilibrium constant, KgoalKgoalK_goal, for the reaction CO2(g)⇌C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g)⇌C(s)+O2(g), Kgoal=?

NISA [10]

Answer:

The value of the equilibrium constant for reaction asked is $1.24\times 10^{-7}$ .

Explanation:

$CO_2(g)\rightleftharpoons C(s)+O_2(g)$

$K_{goal}=?$

$K_{goal}=\frac{[C][O_2]}{[CO_2]}$

$2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons CH_3COOH(l)+2O_2(g)$ ..[1]

$K_1=\frac{[CH_3COOH][O_2]^2}{[CO_2]^2[H_2O]^2}$

$2H_2(g)+O2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2H_2O(l)$ ..[2]

$K_2=\frac{[H_2O]^2}{[H_2]^2[O_2]}$

$CH_3COOH(l)\rightleftharpoons 2C(s)+2H_2(g)+O_2(g)$ ..[3]

$K_3=\frac{[C]^2[H_2]^2[O_2]}{[CH_3COOH]}$

[1] + [2] + [3]

$2CO_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2C(s)+2O_2(g)$

( on adding the equilibrium constant will get multiplied with each other)

$K=K_1\times K_2\times K_3$

$K=5.40\times 10^{-16}\times 1.06\times 10^{10}\times 2.68\times 10^{-9}$

$K=1.53\times 10^{-14}$

$K=\frac{[C]^2[O_2]^2}{[CO_2]^2}$

On comparing the K and $K_{goal}$ :

$K^2=K_{goal}$

$K_{goal}=\sqrt{K}=\sqrt{1.53\times 10^{-14}}=1.24\times 10^{-7}$

The value of the equilibrium constant for reaction asked is $1.24\times 10^{-7}$ .
