The element found in the liver that helps prevent anemia is iron.

Iron is an essential element for blood production. Close to 70% of the body's iron is found in the red blood cells. In the red blood cells it is a vital ingredient of hemoglobin, the red pigment that gives blood its red color. In the muscle cells, iron is found as myoglobin.

Iron is stored mostly in the liver as ferritin or hemosiderin.

When iron stores are finished or exhausted, the condition is called iron depletion. When the shortage of iron is severe, it results in a condition known as iron deficiency anemia whereby the red blood cells do not have enough hemoglobin.

The aqueous hydroxide-promoted reaction of the compound with 2,2-dimethylpropanal (pivalaldehyde) at elevated temperature gives

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The mechanism of this reaction i shown on the second uploaded image

The final product of the reaction is shown on the third uploaded image

The hydroxide would be first mixed with the ketone group before the aldehyde is added

Explanation:

The compound given in the question is 2,2-dimethylpropanal (pivalaldehyde) the structural formula is shown on the first uploaded image

looking at the structurally formula we can see that the hydroxide promoted reaction of this compound would be between the ketone and aldehyde functional group present in this compound in the presence of a hydroxide

Now this process of the reaction is this

The $OH^-$ is first made to react with the ketone group

Then the aldehyde is added

What happens is that that the $OH^-$ would search for an acidic proton because it is a base and this acidic proton is present in ketone and absent in aldehyde group hence the reason for the first reaction with the ketone group before the aldehyde is added

15 grams of sodium reacts with a certain amount of chlorine to yield 37 grams of sodium chloride, as shown below.

ale4655 [162]

Answer: 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction is one in which two or more than two elements combine together to forma single product.

$Na+Cl\rightarrow NaCl$

The atoms present in the reactants are found on the product side. According to the law of conservation of mass, the number of atoms on both sides of the arrow must be same as the total mass must be conserved.

15 grams of sodium reacts with 22 grams of chlorine to yield 37 grams of sodium chloride. Thus 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction.

Identify the situation where work is being done. Carrying a box of crayons across the room. Lifting a backpack off the floor Hol

Likurg_2 [28]

Lifting the backpack off the floor. Force is being applied in only one direction then (up) which is what constitutes as work. Carrying the box of crayons applies force in two directions (up and forward), which cancel each other out. Work has a vector, which is a quantity containing both direction and magnitude (one, finite direction, not two).

Give three examples, from the lab, where potential energy was converted to kinetic energy.

GREYUIT [131]

Give 3 Examples of where potential energy was converted to knlinetic energy:

Curtain

A ball before moving

An apple from the tree then falling down

When the Curtains are still, we call the that potential energy. If you move the curtains around, that is kinetic energy

The ball is still, that is potential energy. Then the ball is moving, the is kinetic energy

There is a apple ganging from a tree, that is potential energy. That apple is fall, this is kinetic energy

Hope this helps

Don't type or write in the answer, I'm not sure what from the lab means. These are a few potential into kinetic energy I could have think of!
