Answer:

A. 1.377 g

B. 16.5%

Explanation:

To find the water loss, subtract the salt and crucible mass from the hydrate and crucible mass

21.018 - 19.641 = 1.377

To find the water mass percentage, divide the empty crucible mass by the mass of the hydrate and crucible. Then, subtract that number from 1.

17.556 ÷ 21.018 = 0.835284

1 - 0.835284 = 0.164716

If you want to add an extra step, multiply this number by 100 to get the percentage.

0.164716 x 100 = 16.4716

How many total moles of reactants and how many total moles of products are in the reaction 2NO, (g) +
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

moles reactant = 2, moles of products = 3

Explanation:

The reactants are on the left side of the equation. Although, energy (heat) is a reactant it will not factor into the calculation for moles. The coefficient is the number of moles for each substances. So for the reactant side NO would have 2 moles because the coefficient is 2. Using the same logic, NO on the product side will have 2 moles and O2 will be 1 mole. O2 has one mole because it is implied that you know anything multipled by one is the same number. So 1 mole of O2 is written as O2 and not 1 O2.

Nitrogen is used to keep food frozen during transportation.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Gaseous nitrogen has unique chemical and physical properties that make it suitable for use in food processing. Nitrogen is inert which means it will not react with prepared food materials, which can alter their aromas or flavors. Also, gaseous nitrogen will effectively displace oxygen minimizing oxidation and the growth of microorganisms that cause foods to lose their freshness and deteriorate faster.

Why are significant figures important when gathering data in the laboratory?
MAXImum [283]

Answer: Significant figures are important to show the precision of your answer. This is important in science and engineering because no measuring device can make a measurement with 100% precision. Using Significant figures allows the scientist to know how precise the answer is, or how much uncertainty there is.

During digestion, hydrochloric acid (HCl) lowers the stomach's pH and this causes the enzyme pepsinogen to be converted to its a
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Catalysis

Explanation:

Pepsin is able to break peptide bonds, turning large protein molecules into small peptide chains.

When pepsin acts to break down pepsinogen (inactive form of pepsin), it is accelerating pepsinogen → pepsin reactions, acting as a catalyst, reducing activation energy and favoring proteolytic reactions at a higher rate.

This process of accelerating reactions is characteristic of enzymes and is known as catalysis.
