Analogous structures are those structures in different species which perform the same function, have similar appearance and structure but are not evolved together; therefore do not share a common ancestor. Homologous and analogous organs video explains in a simple way.
Answer:
Explanation:
To convert from moles to grams, the molar mass is used (mass of 1 mole). The values are the same as the atomic masses on the Periodic Table, but the units are grams per mole (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units.
<h3>1. Molar Mass</h3>
We are given the compound sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and we need to look up the molar masses of the individual elements.
- Na: 22.9897693 g/mol
- O: 15.999 g/mol
- H: 1.008 g/mol
The formula for the compound has no subscripts, so there is 1 mole of each element in 1 mole of the substance. We can simply add the molar masses.
- NaOH: 22.9897693 + 15.999 + 1.008 = 39.9967693 g/mol
This means there are 39.9967693 grams of sodium hydroxide in 1 mole.
<h3>2. Convert Grams to Moles </h3>
Use the molar mass we found as a ratio.
Since we are converting 17.6 grams of NaOH to moles, we multiply by this value.
Flip the ratio so the units of grams of NaOH cancel.
<h3>3. Round </h3>
The original measurement of grams has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the thousandth place.
The 0 in the ten thousandths place (in bold above) tells us to leave the 0 in the thousandth place.
17.6 grams of sodium hydroxide are equal to <u>0.440 moles of sodium hydroxide.</u>

First, you need to figure out the relative ratios of moles of carbon and hydrogen. You do this by first looking up the atomic weight of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Then you use those atomic weights to calculate the molar masses of H2O and CO2.
Carbon = 12.0107
Hydrogen = 1.00794
Oxygen = 15.999
Molar mass of H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488
Molar mass of CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087
Now using the calculated molar masses, determine how many moles of each product was generated. You do this by dividing the given mass by the molar mass.
moles H2O = 11.5 g / 18.01488 g/mole = 0.638361 moles
moles CO2 = 22.4 g / 44.0087 g/mole = 0.50899 moles
The number of moles of carbon is the same as the number of moles of CO2 since there's just 1 carbon atom per CO2 molecule.
Since there's 2 hydrogen atoms per molecule of H2O, you need to multiply the number of moles of H2O by 2 to get the number of moles of hydrogen.
moles C = 0.50899
moles H = 0.638361 * 2 = 1.276722
We can double check our math by multiplying the calculated number of moles of carbon and hydrogen by their respective atomic weights and see if we get the original mass of the hydrocarbon.
total mass = 0.50899 * 12.0107 + 1.276722 * 1.00794 = 7.400185
7.400185 is more than close enough to 7.40 given rounding errors, so the double check worked.
Now to find the empirical formula we need to find a ratio of small integers that comes close to the ratio of moles of carbon and hydrogen.
0.50899 / 1.276722 = 0.398669
0.398669 is extremely close to 4/10, so let's reduce that ratio by dividing both top and bottom by 2 giving 2/5.
Since the number of moles of carbon was on top, that ratio implies that the empirical formula for this unknown hydrocarbon is

Answer:
46.40 g.
Explanation:
- It is a stichiometric problem.
- The balanced equation of the reaction: 4K + O₂ → 2K₂O.
- It is clear that 4.0 moles of K reacts with 1.0 mole of oxygen produces 2.0 moles of K₂O.
- We should convert the mass of K (38.5 g) into moles using the relation:
<em>n = mass / molar mass,</em>
n = (38.5 g) / (39.098 g/mol) = 0.985 mole.
<em>Using cross multiplication:</em>
4.0 moles of K produces → 2.0 moles of K₂O, from the stichiometry.
0.985 mole of K produces → ??? moles of K₂O.
∴ The number of moles of K₂O produced = (0.985 mole) (2.0 mole) / (4.0 mole) = 0.4925 mole ≅ 0.5 mole.
- Now, we can get the mass of K₂O:
∴ mass = n x molar mass = (0.5 mole) (94.2 g/mol) = 46.40 g.
