- This year, like many past years, you begin to feel very sleepy alter eating a large helping of Thanksgiving turkey. Some people attribute this sleepiness to the presence of the amino acid tryptophan in turkey. Tryptophan can be used by the body to produce serotonin, which can calm the brains activity and help to bring on sleep. a. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in a 0.25-lb serving of turkey? (Assume tryptophan accounts for 1.0% of the turkey mass.) b. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in 0.25 quart of milk? (Assume tryptophan accounts for 2.0% of milk by mass and that the density of milk is 1.04 kg/L.)arrow_forwardHow do you distinguish (a) chemical properties from physical properties?

(c) a solute from a solution?arrow_forwardA pycnometer is a glass flask with a tight fitting glass stopper that can be used to determine the density of an insoluble solid by measuring the volume of water ejected out of the pycnometer when sample of the solid is placed in it. Determine the density in g/cm³ of an unknown metal alloy sample from the following measurements. Assume the density of water is 1.000 g/cm³.Mass of clean pycnometer = 25.151 gMass of clean pycnometer plus water = 42.481 gMass of clean pycnometer plus metal sample = 39.305 gMass of clean pycnometer plus metal plus water = 54.265 g (after ejected water is dried from the outside surface)arrow_forward

A sample of an ethanol-water solution has a volume of 52.5 cm³ and a mass of 49.6 g. What is the percentage of ethanol (by mass) in the solution? (Assume that there is no change in volume when the pure compounds are mixed.) The density of ethanol is 0.789 g/cm³ and that of water is 0.998 g/cm³. Percentage of ethanol = b. Alcoholic beverages are rated in proof, which is a measure of the relative amount of ethanol in the beverage. Pure ethanol is exactly 200 proof, a solution that is 50% ethanol by volume is exactly 100 proof. What is the proof of the given ethanol-water solution? proof Submit Answer % [References] Try Another Version 10 item attempts remainingarrow_forwardSoft wood chips weighing 17.2 kg are placed in an iron vessel and mixed with 150.1 kg water and 22.43 kg sodium hydroxide. A steel lid seals the vessel, which is then placed in an oven at 250°C for 6 hours. Much of the wood fiber decomposes under these conditions; the vessel and lid do not react.(a) Classify each of the materials mentioned as a substance or mixture. Subclassify the substances as elements or compounds.(b) Determine the mass of the contents of the iron vesselafter the reaction.arrow_forward
