Question

What is the difference between a quantity and a unit?

Answer:

Physical quantities are a characteristic or property of an object that can be measured or calculated from other measurements. Units are standards for expressing and comparing the measurement of physical quantities. All units can be expressed as combinations of four fundamental units.

Hope this helps!!!

1) Calculate the empirical formula of a compound with 36g of carbon and 96g of oxygen.
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

C4H6

Explanation:

See attached table

Convert each of the masses into moles by dividing the mass by the molar mass of that element.  That yields 3.83 moles of C and 6 moles of O.  I rounded up the C to 4 moles to result in an empirical formula of C4H6

One of the many remarkable enzymes in the human body is carbonic anhydrase, which catalyzes the interconversion of carbon dioxid
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Enzyme is carbonic anhydrase

Substrate is CO_2

Turnover number is 10^{7}

Explanation:

An enzyme is used by a living organism as a catalyst to perform a specific biochemical reaction.

A substrate is a molecule upon which an enzyme acts.

Turnover number refers to the number of substrate molecules transformed by a single enzyme molecule per minute. Here, the enzyme is the rate-limiting factor.

Here,

Enzyme is carbonic anhydrase

Substrate is CO_2

Turnover number is 10^{7}

Consider the following Reaction.
jeyben [28]

Hey there!:

Molar mass of Mg(OH)2 = 58.33 g/mol


number of moles Mg(OH)2 :

moles of Mg(OH)2 = 30.6 / 58.33 =>  0.5246 moles

Molar mass of H3PO4 =  97.99 g/mol

number of moles H3PO4:

moles of Mg(OH)2 = 63.6 / 97.99 => 0.649 moles

Balanced chemical equation is:


3 Mg(OH)2 + 2 H3PO4 --->  Mg3(PO4)2 + 6 H2O


3 mol of Mg(OH)2 reacts with 2 mol of H3PO4  ,for 0.5246 moles of Mg(OH)2, 0.3498 moles of H3PO4 is required , but we have 0.649 moles of H3PO4, so, Mg(OH)2 is limiting reagent !

Now , we will use Mg(OH)2 in further calculation  .

Molar mass of Mg3(PO4)2 = 262.87 g/mol

According to balanced equation  :

mol of Mg3(PO4)2 formed = (1/3)* moles of Mg(OH)2


= (1/3)*0.5246


= 0.1749 moles of Mg3(PO4)2

use :

mass of Mg3(PO4)2 = number of mol * molar mass


= 0.1749 *  262.87

= 46 g of Mg3(PO4)2

Therefore:

% yield = actual mass * 100 / theoretical mass

% = 34.7 * 100 / 46

% = 3470 / 46

= 75.5%


Hope that helps!
