Atomic Mass for carbon,hydrogen and oxygen are 12,1 and 16 respectively.since the molecular formula of vitamin K is C31H46O2, then the respective atomic mass for each element are substituted in the molecular formula. That is,the total number of carbon present is 12 multiplied by 31 which gives 372,the total number of hydrogen present is 1 multiplied by 46 which gives 46,and finally the total number of oxygen present is 16 multiplied by 2 which gives 32.The total addition of all these gives the molecular mass 450g.

How did Vitamin K get its name?

Vitamin K is so-called because its name in German was Koagulations-Vitamin. It was discovered in the search to discover the cure for haemorrhage in baby chicks fed on a simplified food diet that did not contain 'Vitamin K'.


Which vitamin helps in blood clotting?

iron


What is molecular mass of potassium in potassium chloride?

Since potassium chloride has the formula KCl and the mass of the lost electron from neutral potassium is negligible compared with the mass of the protons and neutrons in the potassium atom nucleus, the molecular mass of potassium in this compound is the same as the atomic mass of potassium, 39.098.


Is vitamin K deficiency a cause of bleeding disorders?

Vitamin K is necessary for the production of Clotting Factors II, VII, IX and X. So a vitamin K deficiency could lead to a bleeding disorder. Additionally vitamin K is necessary for the production of the anticoagulant protein C and protein S. Inhibition of Vitamin K function is also associated with clotting disorders though for this to occur there has to be a deficiency in either proteins C or S.


What are vitamin K supplements used for?

Vitamin K supplements are primarily used to support normal blood clotting. They are also important for bone health and may help reduce the risk of fractures. Some people may need to take vitamin K supplements if they have certain medical conditions that affect vitamin K absorption or if they are taking medications that interfere with vitamin K metabolism.
