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.

Which of the following electron configurations gives the correct arrangement of the four valence electrons of the carbon atom in

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

D) $2s^12p^3$

Explanation:

Carbon.

The electronic configuration is -

$1s^22s^22p^2$

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Carbon has 2 singly occupied orbitals.

But in methane, $CH_4$ it forms 4 bonds. So, 1 electron each from 2s orbital jumps to the next orbital in the p subshell.

Thus, the configuration is:-

$1s^22s^22p^2$

Thus, the valence electron configuration is:-

$2s^12p^3$

The following reaction shows the products when sulfuric acid and aluminum hydroxide react.

Elden [556K]

The correct answer is approximately 11.73 grams of sulfuric acid.

The theoretical yield of water from Al(OH)3 is lower than that of H₂SO₄. As a consequence, Al(OH)3 is the limiting reactant, H₂SO₄ is in excess.

The balanced equation is:

2Al(OH)₃ + 3H₂SO₄ ⇒ Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6H₂O

Each mole of Al(OH)3 corresponds to 3/2 moles of H₂SO₄. The molecular mass of Al(OH)3 is 78.003 g/mol. There are 15/78.003 = 0.19230 moles of Al(OH)3 in the five grams of Al(OH)3 available. Al(OH)3 is in limiting, which means that all 0.19230 moles will be consumed. Accordingly, 0.19230 × 3/2 = 0.28845 moles of H₂SO₄ will be consumed.

The molar mass of H₂SO₄ is 98.706 g/mol. The mass of 0.28845 moles of H₂SO₄ is 0.28845 × 98.706 = 28.289 g

40 grams of sulfuric acid is available, out of which 28.289 grams is consumed. The remaining 40-28.289 = 11.711 g is in excess, which is closest to the first option, that is, 11.73 grams of H₂SO₄.
