A medium-sized banana (118g) on average contains 422 mg of potassium - a nutrient needed to maintain fluid balance. If someone eats a medium-sized banana each day for a week, how many total grams of potassium are ingested in that week?

2.954grams of pottasium for that week

Explanation:

According to this question, a medium-sized that weighs 118grams contains 422 milligrams (mg) of potassium nutrient.

If someone eats a medium-sized banana each day for a week, this means that the person has consumed 422mg of pottasium that day.

Since there are 7days in a week, the person will consume 422 × 7 = 2954 mg of pottasium that week.

The question asks for the total pottasium intake in grams for that week, hence, we need to convert 2954 milligrams to grams.

1000mg = 1 g

Hence, 2954mg will be 2954/1000

= 2.954grams

Therefore, 2.954grams of pottasium are ingested by that person that week.

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
