8. What is diabetes?

Chemistry
2 answers:
DerKrebs [107]3 years ago

Answer:

Diabetes is the condition in which the body does not properly process food for use as energy. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies.

Answer:

Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy. Sometimes your body doesn’t make enough—or any—insulin or doesn’t use insulin well. Glucose then stays in your blood and doesn’t reach your cells.

Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause health problems. Although diabetes has no cure, you can take steps to manage your diabetes and stay healthy.

Hydrogen cyanide, HCN, is prepared from ammonia, air, and natural gas (CH₄), by the following process:
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

6.75 g of HCN can be produced by the reaction

Explanation:

Complete reaction is:

2NH₃ (g) + 3O₂ (g) + 2CH₄ (g) → 2HCN (g) + 6H₂O (g)

Let's determine the moles of each reactant:

11.5 g . 1mol / 17g = 0.676 moles of ammonia

12 g . 1 mol / 32g = 0.375 moles of oxygen

10.5 g . 1mol/ 16 g =  0.656 moles of methane

Now is all about rules of three:

2 moles of ammonia reacts with 3 moles of O₂ and 2 moles of methane

0.676 moles of NH₃ may react with:

(0.676 . 3) /2 = 1.014 moles of O₂

(0.676 . 2) / 2 = 0.676 moles of methane

Both can be the limiting reactant.

3 moles of O₂ react with 2 moles of NH₃ and 2 moles of methane

0.375 moles of O₂ will react with:

(0.375 .2) / 3  = 0.375 moles

The same amount for methane, 0.375 moles

2 moles of CH₄ reacts with 3 moles of O₂ and 2 moles of NH₃

0.656 moles of methane would react with 0.656 moles of NH₃

(0.656 . 3 ) /2 = 0.437 moles of O₂   I do not have enough O₂

Oxygen is the limiting reactant → We can work with the reaction now.

Ratio is 3:2. 3 moles of oxygen produce 2 moles of cyanide

0.375 moles of O₂ may produce (0.375 .2 ) / 3 = 0.250 moles

If we convert the moles to mass → 0.250 mol . 27 g / 1mol = 6.75 g
