Answer:

The United States is the global leader in food waste, with Americans discarding nearly 40 million tons of food every year. That's 80 billion pounds of food and equates to more than $161 billion², approximately 219 pounds³ of waste per person and 30-40 percent4 of the US food supply.

What process takes place before an article is published in a scientific journal/
Goshia [24]
Before an article is published in a scientific journal or in any "peer-reviewed" journal the article is reviewed thoroughly by scholars from the journal as well as peers or scholars of the articles author from the same field. This process occurs to provide credibility to the ideas being published and so that readers and other scholars can rely on the validity of the material being published.

A student placed 18.5 g of glucose (C6H12O6) in a volumetric flask, added enough water to dissolve the glucose by swirling, then
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

1.30464 grams of glucose was present in 100.0 mL of final solution.

Explanation:

Molarity=\frac{moles}{\text{Volume of solution(L)}}

Moles of glucose = \frac{18.5 g}{180 g/mol}=0.1028 mol

Volume of the solution = 100 mL = 0.1 L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Molarity of the solution = \frac{0.1028 mol}{0.1 L}=1.028 mol/L

A 30.0 mL sample of above glucose solution was diluted to 0.500 L:

Molarity of the solution before dilution = M_1=1.208 mol

Volume of the solution taken = V_1=30.0 mL

Molarity of the solution after dilution = M_2

Volume of the solution after dilution= V_2=0.500L = 500 mL

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

M_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{V_2}=\frac{1.208 mol/L\times 30.0 mL}{500 mL}

M_2=0.07248 mol/L

Mass glucose are in 100.0 mL of the 0.07248 mol/L glucose solution:

Volume of solution = 100.0 mL = 0.1 L

0.07248 mol/L=\frac{\text{moles of glucose}}{0.1 L}

Moles of glucose = 0.07248 mol/L\times 0.1 L=0.007248 mol

Mass of 0.007248 moles of glucose :

0.007248 mol × 180 g/mol = 1.30464 grams

1.30464 grams of glucose was present in 100.0 mL of final solution.
