Why is the cellulose part of human diet​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Luden [163]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Cellulose stimulates the work of intestines and increases their discharge.

Explanation:

Cellulose is a polysaccharide made of glucose polymers, which build plant fibers. Because of this, the plants possess their firmness.

Humans do not digest cellulose because they do not possess certain enzymes, but it is useful for their digestion because it stimulates the work of the intestines.

Cellulose enhances intestinal peristalsis. Peristalsis is series of contractions that allow the progressive movement of food through the digestive tract.

Still using the reaction from the video, what is the limiting reagent when 2 moles of Al are reacted
kondaur [170]

The limiting reagent will be Al

<h3>What are limiting reagents?</h3>

They are reagents that limit the quantity of products that are formed in reactions.

From the equation of the reaction:

4Al + 3O_2 --- > 2Al_2O_3

The mole ratio of Al to O2 is 4:3.

With 2 moles of Al and 2 moles of O2, Al becomes limiting while O2 is in excess.

With 2 moles of O2, the amount of Al required should be:

                          2 x 4/3 = 2.67 moles.

With 2 moles of Al, the amount of O2 required should be:

                    2 x 3/4 = 1.5 moles

Thus, O2 is in excess by 0.5 moles.

Which of the following species has the greatest
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there is a negative charge on an atom then we add the charge with the number of electrons. Whereas when there is a positive charge on an atom then we subtract the charge from the number of electrons.

Atomic number of chlorine is 17. So, number of electrons present in Cl^{-} is 17 + 1 = 18 electrons.

Atomic number of cobalt is 27. So, number of electrons present in Co^{4+} is 27 - 4 = 23 electrons.

Atomic number of iron is 26. So, number of electrons present in Fe^{2+} is 26 - 2 = 24 electrons.

Atomic number of vanadium is 23. So, number of electrons present in V is 23 electrons.

Atomic number of scandium is 21. So, number of electrons present in Sc^{2-} is 21 + 2 = 23 electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given species, Fe^{2+} has the greatest  number of electrons.
