Alexandra [31]3 years ago
4 0

Skeletal structure is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

Option B: Omega 6 fatty acid

Explanation:

Arachidonic Acid is defined as an essential and unsaturated fatty acid. It's usually found in animal and human fat including the liver, brain, and also glandular organs. While in animals, it is a constituent of their phosphatides.

Arachidonic Acid is formed as a result of the synthesis from dietary linoleic acid and it's a preliminary stage in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes.

In short, Arachidonic acid is basically a long-chain fatty acid which is a C20, Omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acid that has four Z-double bonds.

A chemist prepares a solution of barium acetate by measuring out of barium acetate into a volumetric flask and filling the flask
leonid [27]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A chemist prepares a solution of barium acetate by measuring out 32 g of barium acetate into a 350 ml volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. Calculate the concentration in of the chemist's barium acetate solution. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer:  The concentration of barium acetate solution is 0.375 mol/L

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute

V_s = volume of solution in ml

moles of Ba(CH_3COO)_2 = \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{32g}{255g/mol}=0.125mol

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

Molarity=\frac{0.125\times 1000}{350ml}

Molarity=0.357M

Therefore, the concentration of solution is 0.375 mol/L

Which of the following equations represents Photosynthesis? 16CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O22C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----> CO2 + 6
lidiya [134]

Answer:

  • 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Explanation:

<em>Photosynthesis</em> is the chemical process carried out by plants for the conversion of inorganic matter (carbon dioxide and water) into organic matter (glucose) with the release of oxygen, using light (sun energy).

So the chemical process may be represented by:

  • <u>Word equation: </u>

        carbon dioxide + water + sun energy → glucose + oxygen

  • <u>Skeleton equation:</u>

       CO₂ + H₂O + sun energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂

  • <u>Balanced chemical equation:</u>

       6CO₂ + 6H₂O + sun energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

  • <u>Supressing the energy to show only the chemical compounds:</u>

        6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

What is the theoretical yield of aspirin ( C 9 H 8 O 4 ), which has a molar mass of 180.15 g/mol, possible when reacting 3.03 g
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The theoretical yield of aspirin is 3.95 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of salicylic acid = 3.03 grams

Volume of acetic anhydride = 3.61 mL

Density of acetic anhydride = 1.08 g/cm³

Step 2: The balanced equation

C4H6O3+C7H6O3→C9H8O4+C2H4O2

Step 3: Calculate moles salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = mass salicylic acid / molar mass salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = 3.03 grams /138.121 g/mol

Moles salicylic acid = 0.0219 moles

Step 4: Calculate mass acetic anhydride

Mass acetic anhydride = volume * density

Mass acetic anhydride = 3.61 mL * 1.08 g/mL

Mass acetic anhydride = 3.90 grams

Step 5: Calculate moles acetic anhydride

Moles acetic anhydride = 3.90 grams / 102.09 g/mol

Moles acetic anhydride = 0.0382 moles

Step 6: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol salicylic acid we need 1 mol acetic anhydride to produce 1 mol aspirin

Salicylic acid is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed. (0.0219 moles). Acetic anhydride is in excess. There will react 0.0219 moles. There remain 0.0382 - 0.0219 =0.0163 moles

Step 7: Calculate moles aspirin

For 1 mol salicylic acid we need 1 mol acetic anhydride to produce 1 mol aspirin

For 0.0219 moles salicylic acid we'll have 0.0219 moles aspirin

Step 8: Calculate theoretical yield of aspirin

Mass of aspirin = moles aspirin *molar mass aspirin

Mass of aspirin = 0.0219 moles *180.15 g/mol

Mass of aspirin = 3.95 grams

The theoretical yield of aspirin is 3.95 grams
