The primary role of carbohydrates is to supply energy to all cells in the body. Many cells prefer glucose as a source of energy versus other compounds like fatty acids. Because the energy from glucose comes from the chemical bonds between the carbon atoms.

Answer:

Mass = 14.3 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Mg(OH)₂ = 16.0 g

Mass of HCl = 11.0 g

Mass of MgCl₂ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Mg(OH)₂ + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + 2H₂O

Number of moles of Mg(OH)₂ :

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 16.0 g/ 58.3 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.274 mol

Number of moles of HCl :

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 11.0 g/ 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.301 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Mg(OH)₂ and HCl with MgCl₂.

Mg(OH)₂ : MgCl₂

1 : 1

0.274 : 0.274

HCl : MgCl₂

2 : 1

0.301 : 1/2×0.301 = 0.150

The number of moles of MgCl₂ produced by HCl are less so it will limiting reactant.

Mass of MgCl₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.150 × 95 g/mol

Mass = 14.3 g

Guillaume Amontons first took a stab at measuring absolute zero in 1702. What would be the most reasonable way it would have bee

Tema [17]

The most reasonable way to measure absolute zero would have been to extrapolate the ideal gas law.

<h3>What is Absolute zero?</h3>

This is referred to the temperature at which a thermodynamic system has the lowest form of energy.

Guillaume Amontons used gas equation to prove that absence of heat was theoretically possible which would have involved only extrapolating the ideal gas law.
