5 0

Answer:

Phosphorus

Explanation:

The nonmetallic element, phosphorus, can be found in the tissues of the muscles, bones and nerves, and in the chemical adenosine triphosphate which is the major source of energy for the cells of the body.

Phosphorus is mainly concentrated in the bones, while phosphorus is also required to make the protein molecules that repair the body tissues as well as for growth

Phosphorus is also important for nerve signaling and normal heartbeat, contraction of the muscles and functioning of the kidney.

____ 26. what is the weight percentage of nitrogen in urea, cn2h4o
Paraphin [41]
Weight percentage of nitrogen can be calculated using the following rule:
weight percentage of nitrogen = (weight of nitrogen / weight of urea) x 100

From the periodic table:
molecular mass of carbon = 12 grams
molecular mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
molecular mass of hydrogen = 1 grams
molecular mass of oxygen = 16 grams

therefore:
mass of nitrogen in urea = 2(14) = 28 grams
mass of urea = 12 + 2(14) + 4(1) + 16 = 60 grams

Substitute with the masses in the equation to get the percentage:
weight percentage of nitrogen = (28/60) x 100 = 46.667%

Which of these equations is balanced? a. H2SO4 + 2Al → Al2(SO4)3 + H2 b. 2KCl + Pb(NO3)2 → 2KNO3 + PbCl2
Lapatulllka [165]
The answer is B, you just check if it is the same on the left and right side

A:
Left side - Right side
2xH - 2xH
1xS - 3xS
4xO - 12xO
2xAl - 2xAl

Therefore A is not correct

B:
Left side - right side
2xK - 2xK
1xCl - 1xCl
1xPb - 1xPb
2xN - 2xN
6xO - 6xO

B is therefore correct as both sides add up

Describe the kinds of potential energy that are stored by a car driving on a hill.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The internal combustion engine in the car converts the potential chemical energy in gasoline and oxygen into thermal energy which is transformed into the mechanical energy that accelerates the vehicle (increasing its kinetic energy) by causing the pressure and performing the work on the pistons.

Calculate the number of moles of solute present in 55.0 mg of an aqueous solution that is 1.45 m NaCl. Assume that for dilute aq
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

0.00007975 mole

Explanation:

Number of moles can be calculated as; mass of solute/volume of solvent or concentration of solution x volume of that solution.

In this case:

Concentration of solution = 1.45 M

Mass of solvent (water in this case) = 55.0 mg

55.0 mg of water is equivalent to 0.55 ml of water.

Therefore, volume of solution = 0.055 ml

Hence, number of moles of solute = molarity x volume

                                                           1.45 x 0.000055 = 0.00007975 mole
