Explanation:
Secondary metabolism produces a large number of specialized compounds (estimated 200,000) that do not aid in the growth and development of plants but are required for the plant to survive in its environment. Secondary metabolism is connected to primary metabolism by using building blocks and biosynthetic enzymes derived from primary metabolism. Primary metabolism governs all basic physiological processes that allow a plant to grow and set seeds, by translating the genetic code into proteins, carbohydrates, and amino acids. Specialized compounds from secondary metabolism are essential for communicating with other organisms in mutualistic (e.g. attraction of beneficial organisms such as pollinators) or antagonistic interactions (e.g. deterrent against herbivores and pathogens). They further assist in coping with abiotic stress such as increased UV-radiation. The broad functional spectrum of specialized metabolism is still not fully understood. In any case, a good balance between products of primary and secondary metabolism is best for a plant’s optimal growth and development as well as for its effective coping with often changing environmental conditions. Well known specialized compounds include alkaloids, polyphenols including flavonoids, and terpenoids. Humans use many of these compounds for culinary, medicinal and nutraceutical purposes.

Answer:
0.404 moles Na⁺ and 0.404 moles Cl⁻
Explanation:
In the solution you have 23.6g of NaCl. As molar mass of NaCl is 58.44g/mol. Moles you have present are:
23.6g NaCl × (1mol / 58.44g) = <em>0.404 moles of NaCl</em>
As you can see in the formula, each mole of NaCl contains 1 mole of Na⁺ and 1 mole of Cl⁻. Thus, moles of each ion are:
<em>0.404 moles Na⁺ and 0.404 moles Cl⁻</em>
Answer:
Explanation:
X + Y ⟶ XY
mass: 22.7 g x 86.9 g
According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the mass of the product must equal the mass of the reactants.
Answer:
b) The total moles of each element present in the reactants and in the products.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since the law of conservation of mass is used to realize that the mass, atoms and molecules of all the species involved in a chemical reaction must be the same at both reactants and products, we can see that a and c stand for those that must be equal; thus, we infer that the moles can be different as they stand for the amount of substance which is related to the mass via molar masses. Therefore, the answer would be b) The total moles of each element present in the reactants and in the products.
