If only one sperm cell is needed to fertilize an egg, why are males capable of producing so many sperm cells?

Answers

Answer 1
Males are capable of producing so many sperm cells because of the fact that even unprotected intercourse doesn’t always result in pregnancy. There are so many sperm cells to increase the chances of fertilizing the egg.

How many grams are in 1.2 x 1024 atoms of sodium?

Answers

Answer:

46 g

Explanation:

First we convert 1.2 x 10²⁴ atoms of sodium into moles, using Avogadro's number:

1.2x10²⁴ atoms ÷ 6.023x10²³ atoms/mol = 2.0 mol

Then we convert 2.0 moles of sodium into grams, using sodium's molar mass:

2.0 mol Na * 23 g/mol = 46 g

Thus, there are 46 grams in 1.2x10²⁴ atoms of sodium.

The heat of combustion of ethane is -337.0kcal at 25 degrees celsius. what is the heat of the reaction when 3g of ethane is burnt completely​

Answers

Answer:

Q = -33.6kcal .

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the equation for the calculation of the total heat of reaction when a fixed mass of a fuel like ethane is burnt, we can write:

[tex]Q=n*\Delta _cH[/tex]

Whereas n stands for the moles and the other term for the enthalpy of combustion. Thus, for the required total heat of reaction, we first compute the moles of ethane in 3 g as shown below:

[tex]n=3g*\frac{1mol}{30.08g}=0.1mol[/tex]

Next, we understand that -337.0kcal is the heat released by the combustion of 1 mole of ethane, therefore, to compute Q, we proceed as follows:

[tex]Q=0.1mol*-337.0\frac{kcal}{mol}\\\\Q=-33.6kcal[/tex]

2.0M Propionic Acid HC3H5O2 Dissolves In Distilled Water. If It Has A Ka Of 1.3*10-5, What Is The Final PH?

The base ethylamine C2H5NH2 has a Kb of 5.6*10-4. What will the pH be in .53 molar solution?

Answers

Answer: first you have to calculate the amount ionized. We will say it is x mol / L

then % ionization = (amount ionized / initial concentration) * 100%

x can be calculated using an ice chart

HC3H5O2           -----> H+    + C3H5O2-

Initial HC3H5O2 = 0.250  

change              = -x

equilibrium         = 0.250 - x

initial H+            = 0

change              = +x

equilibrium         = x

C3H5O2- initial   = 0

change              = +x

equilibrium         = x

Ka         = [H=][C3H5O2-] / HC3H5O2]

 1.3 * 10 ^ -5    = [x][x] / (0.250 - x)  

So 1.3 * 10 ^ -5 * (0.250 - x)   = x ^ 2  

     3.25 * 10^ -6 - (1.3 * 10^-5)x = x^2   now this is a quadratic equation and you have to rearrange it and solve for x

x^2 + 1.3 * 10^-5)x - 3.25 * 10^ -6 = 0

use the equation x = {-b (+ or -)[b^2 - 4.a.c] ^ 1/2} / 2a

you should get x = 1.80 * 10 ^ -3 or x = -1.80* 10^-3

but x can not be negative..

so x = 1.80 * 10 ^ -3

so percent ionization = (1.80 * 10 ^ -3 / 0.250) * 100%

                               =0.72 %

the other way which is more easier is  

assuming that x is very small and therefore 0.250 - x is approximately equals to 0.250  

then 1.3 * 10^-5 = x^2 / 0.250

so x^2    = 1.3 * 10^-5 * 0.250

        x   = 1.80 * 10 ^-3

then percent ionization is = (1.80 * 10 ^ -3 / 0.250) * 100%

                               =0.72 %

if the percent ionization is > 5 % you can not do that approximation. in such a case you have to solve the quadratic equation. that is why I showed both methods.

now you can do the parts b and c

b answer : percent ionization = 1.27 %  

c answer : 2.54%

good luck

10) 81 grams of Au is how many mL ?

Answers

Answer: Thus 81 grams of Au is 9210 ml

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number [tex]6.023\times 10^{23}[/tex] of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{moles of Au}=\frac{81g}{196.96g/mol}=0.411moles[/tex]

1 mole of Au occupies = 22.4 L

Thus 0.411 moles of Au occupy = [tex]\frac{22.4}{1}\times 0.411=9.21L=9210ml[/tex]

81 grams of Au is 9210 ml

If anyone could help I’d appreciate it

Answers

Answer: 2.00 mol

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

[tex]2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)[/tex]  

According to stoichiometry :

2.00 moles of [tex]H_2[/tex] require = 1.00 moles of [tex]O_2[/tex]

Thus 2.00 moles of [tex]H_2[/tex] will require=[tex]\frac{1}{2}\times 2.00=1.00moles[/tex]  of [tex]O_2[/tex]

Thus both will act as limiting reagents and will be fully consumed.

2.00 moles of [tex]H_2[/tex] will form = 2 moles of [tex]H_2O[/tex]

Thus 2.00 moles of [tex]H_2[/tex] will form = [tex]\frac{2}{2}\times 2.00=2.00moles[/tex]  of [tex]H_2O[/tex]

  Thus 2.00 moles of [tex]H_2O[/tex] will be produced from the given masses of both reactants.

Consider a free lysine amino acid in a solution buffered to pH = 9.00. What will be the overall charge on the residue?
Is it -2, -1, 0, 1, 2?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

+1

The overall charge on the residue ( lysine residue ) is ; ( C )  0 charge

The a-aminium group of lysine amino acid will begin deprotonating by the presence of NaOH as the pH level of the solution increases.

Given that the pKa level of a-aminium group = 9. when the pH of  the solution is buffered to 9.0 . half of the a-aminium ions that is present in the lysine amino acid will deprotonate leaving the overall charge on the lysine residue at neutral ( 0 charge ).

Hence we can conclude that the overall charge on the residue is a 0 charge.

Aspirin synthesis involves the addition of an acetyl group to salicylic acid in a condensation reaction with an alcohol. The acetyl group could be added with a carboxylic acid but the preferred procedure is to use the acid anhydride. Why is preferable to use an acid anhydride for ester formation with an alcohol rather than a carboxylic acid

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The synthesis of asprin involves the;

i) Hydrolysis of Methyl salicylate

ii) Reaction of salicylic acid with acid anhydride

The chemical name of asprin is acetylsalicylic acid.

It is preferable to use an acid anhydride for ester formation with an alcohol rather than a carboxylic acid because we will not produce water which can then cause the hydrolysis of the newly formed ester.

unknown:

available:

d. What is the theoretical mass of silver that will be produced?

e. If the actual yield of silver was 14.1 g, what is the percent yield of the
reaction?

Answers

Explanation:

a. Write a balanced equation

The balanced equation for the reaction is given as;

Zn + AgNO3 → Ag + ZnNO3  

b. Interpret the equation by  particles and by moles

In this equation, 1mol of Zn reacts with 1 mol of AgNO3 to from 1 mol of Ag and 1 mol of ZnNO3

1 mol = 6.022 * 10^23 particles

c. What is the limiting reactant?

The mol ratio between both reactants is 1 : 1 from the equation.

Converting the masses given to ml;

Number of mol = Mass / Molar mass

Zn;

Number of mol = 6.70 / 65.38 = 0.1025 mol

AgNO3;

Number of mol = 27.5 / 169.87 = 0.1619 mol

The limiting reactant in this reaction is Zn. This is because Zn would get used up before AgNO3 according to the number of moles calculated.

d. What is the theoretical mass of silver that will be produced?

1 mol of Zn produces 1 mol of Ag

0.1025 mol of Zn would also produce 0.1025 mol mol of Ag

Mass = Molar mass * Number of Moles = 107.87  * 0.1025

Mass = 11.05 g

e. If the actual yield of silver was 14.1 g, what is the percent yield of the

reaction?

Percent yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical yield * 100%

Percent yield = 11.05 / 14.1  * 100 = 78.36%

How many fluorine atoms are there in 39.4 moles of CF4?

Answers

Answer:

here

Explanation:

Answer: 4

A molecule of carbon tetrafluoride, CF4 , is made up of 1 carbon atom bonded to 4 fluorine atoms. Each carbon atom weighs 12.0 amu and each fluorine atom weighs 19.0 amu so 1 CF4 molecule weighs 1×12.0 amu + 4×19.0 amu = 88.0 amu. This number, 88.0, is called the molecular weight (or molecular mass) of CF4.

Boyle's Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure P and volume V satisfy the equation PV = C, where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 300 cm3, the pressure is 180 kPa, and the pressure is increasing at a rate of 30 kPa/min. At what rate is the volume decreasing at this instant?

Answers

Answer:

The gas is decreasing at a rate of 50 cubic centimeters per minute.

Explanation:

The Boyle's Law is represented by the following expression:

[tex]P\cdot V = k[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]P[/tex] - Pressure, in kilopascals.

[tex]V[/tex] - Volume, in cubic centimeters.

[tex]k[/tex] - Proportionality constant, in kilopascal-cubic centimeters.

By definitions of rate of change and implicit differentiation, we derive the following differential equation:

[tex]\dot P \cdot V + P\cdot \dot V = 0[/tex] (2)

Where:

[tex]\dot P[/tex] - Rate of change of the pressure, in kilopascals per minute.

[tex]\dot V[/tex] - Rate of change of the volume, in cubic centimeters per minute.

Then, we clear the rate of change of the volume within (2):

[tex]P\cdot \dot V = -\dot P\cdot V[/tex]

[tex]\dot V = -\left(\frac{\dot P}{P} \right) \cdot V[/tex]

If we know that [tex]P = 180\,kPa[/tex], [tex]\dot P = 30\,\frac{kPa}{min}[/tex] and [tex]V = 300\,cm^{3}[/tex], then the rate of change of the volume is:

[tex]\dot V = -\left(\frac{\dot P}{P} \right) \cdot V[/tex]

[tex]\dot V = -50\,\frac{cm^{3}}{min}[/tex]

The gas is decreasing at a rate of 50 cubic centimeters per minute.

What is chromatography?

Chromatography is defined as a technique for separation in which the analyte is mixed with a liquid or gaseous mobile phase and pushed through a stationary phase. Chromatography is a crucial biophysical method that makes it possible to separate, distinguish, and purify mixture's constituent parts for qualitative and quantitative study.

The sample may be lifted with more force thanks to the solvent, which also causes the sample to dissolve. Because of this, the start line in chromatography should always be above the solvent. To avoid getting an angled solvent front, it is crucial to ensure that the solvent is level and not at an angle.

Thus, make sure the area is higher than the solvent because if it isn't, the solvent will just wash it into the solution.
