One hour of bicycle riding can require 500-900 kcal of energy, depending on the speed, the terrain, and the weight of the racer.

An individual wants to lose weight by riding at a modest effort, consuming 505 kcal of energy per hour. How many hours must he ride to lose 21.0 pounds of body fat? One gram of body fat is equivalent to 7.70 kcal of energy. There are 454 g in 1 lb.

145 hours. Explanation: Riding a bicycle for one hour expends 505 kcal of energy. Given that one gram of body fat equals 7.70 kcal, and 1 pound of body fat is equivalent to 454 grams: 1 lb = 454 g; thus, 21 lb = 21 × 454/1 = 9534 g. Moreover, converting 9534 g of body fat gives us 9534 × 7.70 kcal/1 = 73411.8 kcal. If riding for one hour burns 505 kcal, then to lose 73411.8 kcal, it would require 73411.8 kcal x 1 hour/505 kcal = 145 hours.

Valproic acid, used to treat seizures and bipolar disorder, is composed of C, H, and O. A 0.165-g sample is combusted to produce
VMariaS [2753]

Answer:

The empirical formula is = C_4H_8O

The Valproic acid formula is = C_8H_{16}O_2

Explanation:

Mass of the produced water = 0.166 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

The moles of H_2O are calculated as 0.166 g /18 g/mol = 0.00922 moles.

In 1 mole of water, there are 2 moles of hydrogen atoms.

Thus,

Moles of H = 2 x 0.00922 = 0.01844 moles

Each hydrogen atom's molar mass is 1.008 g/mol.

Hydrogen mass in the molecule = 0.01844 x 1.008 = 0.018588 g

Mass of produced carbon dioxide = 0.403 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

The moles of CO_2 are calculated as 0.403 g  /44.01 g/mol = 0.009157 moles.

Each carbon atom's presence is 1 mole in 1 mole of carbon dioxide.

So,

Moles of C = 0.009157 moles

The molar mass of carbon is 12.0107 g/mol.

Carbon mass in molecule = 0.009157 x 12.0107 = 0.11 g

Since Valproic acid comprises only hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon, the oxygen mass in the sample = Total mass - Carbon mass  - Hydrogen mass.

The sample's overall mass = 0.165 g.

Oxygen mass in the sample = 0.165 - 0.11 - 0.018588 = 0.036412 g  

The molar mass of oxygen is 15.999 g/mol.

Moles of O  = 0.036412  / 15.999  = 0.002276 moles

Taking the simplest ratio for H, O, and C yields:

0.01844: 0.002276: 0.009157

= 8: 1: 4

The empirical formula becomes C_4H_8O

While molecular formulas detail the precise count of atoms for each element, empirical formulas represent the simplest form or reduced ratio of these elements in the compound.

Consequently,  

The molecular mass equals n × Empirical mass.

Here, n is a positive integer from 1, 2, 3...

Empirical mass = 4×12 + 8×1 + 16 = 72 g/mol.

Molar mass = 144 g/mol.

Thus,  

The molecular mass = n × Empirical mass.

144 = n × 72

⇒ n = 2

The Valproic acid formula is = C_8H_{16}O_2

Which of the following statements describe physical properties and which describe chemical properties? (a) Iron has a tendency t
Anarel [2637]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Iron has the tendency to undergo rusting -- this is a chemical property as it involves a reaction with water and air.

b) Precipitation in industrialized areas often has an acidic nature -- this is also a chemical property due to its interaction with bases or metals.

c) Hemoglobin is red in color -- this is a physical property since it doesn't entail any chemical reactions.

d) When water is left out in sunlight, it evaporates gradually -- this is a physical property because the process can easily be reversed, classifying it as a physical change.

e) During photosynthesis, plants convert carbon dioxide into more complex molecules -- this demonstrates a chemical property since it involves chemical reactions.

KiRa [2770]

Answer:

Is it true that you shouldn't wash your hair, drink cold water, eat ice cream, or exercise during your period? Please explain your answer.

No, this is not accurate; doing any of these activities is perfectly fine. None of them affects us because they are not connected to our bodily systems. Also, I apologize for any language errors as I utilized Google Translate.

I hope this is helpful :)
