Answer:

Diabetes is a group of diseases that affect how your body uses blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is vital to your health because it's an important source of energy for the cells. Cells are everywhere including the blood, bones and muscles. When you have diabetes, you don’t have enough insulin in your blood (an organ in your body called the pancreas makes insulin). Insulin controls the movement of blood sugar into the cells of the body.

Two samples of the same compound are compared. what does the data represent? sample 1: 24.22 g carbon and 32.00 g oxygen sample

goblinko [34]

According to law of definite proportion:

In a compound, elements are always arranged in fixed ratio by mass.

Here, sample 1 has 23.22 g Carbon and 32.00 g Oxygen.

Converting mass into number of moles:

Molar mass of carbon is 12 g/mol and that of oxygen is 16 g/mol thus,

$n_{C}=\frac{m_{C}}{M_{C}}=\frac{24.22 g}{12 g/mol}\approx 2 mol$

Similarly, number of moles of oxygen will be:

$n_{O}=\frac{m_{O}}{M_{O}}=\frac{32 g}{16 g/mol}=2 mol$

The ratio of number of moles of carbon and oxygen will be:

$C:O=n_{C}:n_{O}=2:2=1:1$

Therefore, formula of compound will be CO.

Sample 2:

It has 36.22 g Carbon and 48.00 g Oxygen.

Converting mass into number of moles:

Molar mass of carbon is 12 g/mol and that of oxygen is 16 g/mol thus,

$n_{C}=\frac{m_{C}}{M_{C}}=\frac{36.22 g}{12 g/mol}\approx 3 mol$

Similarly, number of moles of oxygen will be:

$n_{O}=\frac{m_{O}}{M_{O}}=\frac{48 g}{16 g/mol}=3 mol$

The ratio of number of moles of carbon and oxygen will be:

$C:O=n_{C}:n_{O}=3:3=1:1$

The formula of compound will be CO.

Therefore, it is proved that carbon and oxygen are present in fixed ratios in both the samples.

What term best defines the process that occurs when nuclei combine to produce a nucleus with more mass?

bekas [8.4K]

I just answered your other question and wrote all the definitions of the terms. I would say this is probably refering to Fusion because you are fusing together more nuclei into one nucleus. Fusion= bringing separate things into one entity.

If 5,800 j of energy are applied to a 15.2 kg piece of lead, by how much does the temp change if the specific heat of lead is 0.

scoray [572]

Answer:

The answer will be 2.98K

Explanation:

Using the formula:

Q = mc∆T

Q= 5,800 (heat in joules)

m= convert 15.2kg to g which is 15200g (mass in grams)

c= 0.128 J/g °c (Specific heat capacity)

∆T= what we need to find (temperature change)

5800J = 15200g x 0.128 x ∆T

= 2.98K

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Use the Bromotriflouride catalyst, BF₃

Explanation:

The BF₃ is most likely to yield less desired side products. The effect lies in the reaction mechanism.

BF₃ is a Lewis acid. Its role is to promote the ionization of the HF. This is achieved through the electrophilic mechanism. The reaction mechanism is as follows:

2 - methylpropene + H-F-BF₃ → H-F + H₃C + benzene

butylbenzene + F-BF₃ → tert-butylbenzene + H-F + BF₃ (regenerated catalyst)
