6 Li + Zn3(PO4)2 > 2 Li3PO4 + 3 Zn If 48.6 g of zinc is made, how many moles of lithium phosphate are also made? moles

Moles of Lithium phosphate : 0.495

Further explanation

Given

6 Li + Zn₃(PO₄)₂ > 2 Li₃PO₄ + 3 Zn

Required

Moles of Lithium phosphate

Solution

moles of Zinc(Ar=65,38 g/mol) :

= mass : Ar

= 48.6 : 65.38

= 0.743

From equation, mol ratio of Zn :  Li₃PO₄ = 3 : 2, so mol  Li₃PO₄ :

= 2/3 x mol Zn

= 2/3 x 0.743

= 0.495

Three of the functions of proteins are as antibodies, as enzymes and as messengers. As antibodies, they protect the cells from diseases ie they fight diseases. As enzymes, they regulate the chemical reactions within cells, and thirdly they transmit signals as messengers such as hormones do in co-ordinating biological processes. Proteins are so diverse because of their unique 3-D structures which their polymers form from the 20 amino acids available as their building blocks.
