Explanation:

Your lab partner has carefully measured out 16.50 mL of water. You accidentally tip over the graduated cylinder and spill some of the water. You stand the cylinder up, and determine that there are 8.0 mL of water left. Which measurement is more precise-your lab partner’s or yours? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

In the measurement of 16.50 , the measuring scale is capable of measuring upto the depth of 1 / 100th of one mL . But In the measurement of 8.0 , the measuring scale is capable of measuring upto the depth of 1 / 10th of one mL

So the former is more precise because the second scale the measurement beyond 1/ 10 th is made by guesswork which may be faulty . So the former is more precise .

Answer: his lab partner is more precise

Explanation: If the lab partner carefully measured the measurements and the other guy just determined it the lab partner's measurements should be more exact. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Draw the d-orbital splitting for an octahedral and a tetrahedral complex.

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In an octahedral crystal field, the metal is at the centre of an octahedron with ligands at the six corners of the octahedron. Approach of the ligand splits the orbitals into higher energy eg and lower energy t2g orbitals. The eg orbitals are 0.6∆o above the bari centre while the t2g orbitals are -0.4∆o below the bari centre.

In a tetrahedral crystal field, the tetrahedral crystal field splitting ∆t= 4/9∆o. In the tetrahedral crystal field, the t2 orbitals are at a higher energy and are +0.4∆t above the bari centre while the e orbitals are at a lower energy and are -0.6∆t below the bari center.

2. Silver chloride
3. Lead iodide
4. Silver hydroxide

Answers

Answer:

Zinc sulfide- more soluble in 0.10 M hydrochloric acid solution

Silver chloride- less soluble in 0.10 M hydrochloric acid solution

Lead iodide- same solubility in 0.10 M hydrochloric acid solution as in pure water

Silver hydroxide- same solubility in 0.10 M hydrochloric acid solution as in pure water

Explanation:

Solubility refers to the amount of a substance that dissolves in 1 dm^3 of solvent. Several factors influence the dissolution of solutes in a given solvent. Some substances dissolves at a low pH (in acid solutions) while other dissolve at a low pH (in basic solutions).

For Silver chloride, its solubility decreases in 0.10 M hydrochloric acid solution because of common ion effect when compared to its solubility in pure water.

How many grams of glucose (C6H12O6, 180.2 g/mol) would be required to prepare 2.00 L of a 0.318 M glucose solution that could be used in an IV bag?

Answers

Answer:

115 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Molar mass of glucose: 180.2 g/molVolume of solution: 2.00 LMolarity of the solution: 0.318 M

Step 2: Calculate the moles of glucose

The molarity is equal to the moles of solute divided by the liters of solution.

M = moles of glucose / liters of solution

moles of glucose = M × liters of solution

moles of glucose = 0.318 mol/L × 2.00 L

moles of glucose = 0.636 mol

Step 3: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.636 moles of glucose

0.636 mol × 180.2 g/mol = 115 g

D= 1.246g/cm3 /(1 +8.324x10^-5 K^-1 T) at what temp (K) will the density of this liquid equal 1.212 g/cm3

Answers

Answer:

At 336.6K, the density of the liquid is 1.212g/cm³

Explanation:

The density change in a substance with the temperature. As general (But not always applicable) rule, the density decreases with the temperature.

A formula to find density of the liquid of the problem is:

[tex]D = \frac{1.246g/cm^3}{1+8.324x10^{-5}K^{-1}*T}[/tex]

Where D is density and T is absolute temperature (In K).

If we want a density of 1.212g/cm^3:

[tex]1.212g/cm^3 = \frac{1.246g/cm^3}{1+8.324x10^{-5}K^{-1}*T}\\1.212g/cm^3+1.01x10^{-4}g/cm^3K^{-1}*T = 1.246g/cm^3\\1.01x10^{-4}g/cm^3K^{-1}*T =0.034g/cm^3\\T = 336.6K[/tex]

At 336.6K, the density of the liquid is 1.212g/cm³

Glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed from the glomerular filtrate by the __________.

Answers

Answer:

Amino acids, along with glucose, are reabsorbed in the glomerular system with a passive or active mechanism as the fluid travels through the entire renal tubular system and enters the circulation again.

Active mechanisms are those that require expenditure of energy, that is, expenditure of the energy currency, while the passive ones do not, they occur through spontaneous non-energy processes such as osmosis, the osmotic gradient and the difference in concentrations in different compartments.

Explanation:

Glomerular filtration is the regulator of the excretion of metabolites and toxic molecules or not necessary for our body. That is why if the amino acid values ​​are high as well as those of glucose in urine, we will be facing a pathology.

If glucose is increased, it is because there is a glycemic peak in blood volume, hence possible diabetes.

And if the amino acids are increased, we could be facing an autoimmune or proteolytic pathology where a large amount of body proteins such as muscle proteins would be breaking down and releasing the amino acids that make it up, this phenomenon usually appears in those people who suffer from rhabdomyolysis in expenses very intense energy sources not appropriate.

On the other hand, glomerular filtration occurs in the kidney and is carried out by the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney, within it there is a specific tubular system in collection, absorption and reabsorption, added to the presence of Bowman's capsule.

Diethyl malonate (the starting material for the malonic ester synthesis) reacts with bromine in acid-catalyzed conditions to form a product with molecular formula C7H11BrO4. Would you expect this product to be more or less acidic than diethyl malonate?

Answers

Answer:

The product would have more acidity than Diethyl malonate

Explanation:

For this question, first, we have to start with the structure of the bromination reaction.  The bromination would add a "Br" atom in the middle carbon between the ester groups. Therefore, the molecule produced would be diethyl 2-bromomalonate and the formula of this compound fits with the reported by the question: [tex]C_7H_1_1BrO_4[/tex]

Now, if we have to analyze the acidity we have to check the most acidic hydrogen. In this case, is the "H" in the middle carbon (red hydrogen). In the Diethyl malonate, we have an inductive effect caused by the carbonyl groups on each side of the middle carbon. In the diethyl 2-bromomalonate, we have this same inductive effect plus the Br atom bonded to the same carbon. Therefore, would be easier to remove the hydrogen. So, diethyl 2-bromomalonate would ba more acidity than Diethyl malonate.

Phenolphthalein is used as an indicator for basic solutions in the electrolytic cell that's used to split water into its elements. Around which electrode would the solution turn pink?

Answers

Answer:

Anode

Explanation:

In the electrolysis of acidified water;

Anode half reaction;

4OH^-(aq)-----> 2H2O(l) + O2(g) + 4e

Cathode half reaction;

4H^+(aq) + 4e ----> 2H2(g)

Phenolphthalein has a pink colour in a neutral medium. A neutral medium in this electrolysis is one in which the hydroxide ion is reduced to water and oxygen and this occurs at the anode hence this is the electrode around which the solution will turn pink.

Which one of the following reactions would produce t-butyl methyl ether in high yield?
A) t-butyl chloride + sodium methoxide
B) t-butanol + methanol in presence of H2SO4 at 140 C
C) t-butyl bromide + bromomethane in presence of NaOH
D) sodium t-butoxide + bromomethane

Answers

Answer:

D) sodium t-butoxide + bromomethane

Explanation:

The alkoxide ion is a strong nucleophile, that unlike alcohols, will react with primary alkyl halides to form ether. This general reaction is known as the Williamson synthesis, and is a SN₂ displacement. The alkyl halide must be primary so the back side attack is not hindered, and the alkoxide ion must be formed with the most hindered group.

The mechanism can be seen in the attachment.

The reaction of sodium t-butoxide and bromomethane gives the higher yield. Thus, option D is correct.

For the production of t-butyl methyl ether in higher yield, there has been the Williamson ether synthesis. The synthesis has been carried out with the reaction of alkylhalide with the alkoxide, that results in the formation of an ether.

The Williamson reaction has been a SN2 reaction that has been carried out in two steps with the addition of nucleophile and removal of the halide for the formation of ether.

From the given reactants, the higher yield has been obtained with the reaction of alkoxide and alkyl halide. Thus, reaction of sodium t-butoxide and bromomethane gives the higher yield. Thus, option D is correct.

Why don’t the trees spontaneously catch fire and burn all the time? Why don’t the fires stop immediately as soon as they start?

Answers

Answer:

Both of these phenomena is due to the ignition temperature.

Explanation:

Trees don't spontaneously catch fire because there is a temperature above which materials combust. This is called the "ignition temperature." This temperature must be reached before the trees will ignite, and the external condition does not always harbor such high temperature.

Fires don't stop immediately because, while some parts of the flame has cooled down sufficiently below the ignition temperature, other parts of the flame have not. It takes time for all the part of the flame to cool down below ignition temperature for the burning to stop.

These are all due to the ignition temperature.

The ignition temperature is defined as the temperature at which a substance begins to burn spontaneously.

The ignition temperature of a woody material is about 343 °C (650 °F). This ignition temperature is much higher than ambient temperature hence trees don't spontaneously catch fire and burn all the time.

Also, all the parts of the burning fire are not at the same temperature. Some parts may cool below the ignition temperature quicker than other parts of the flame hence  the fires don't stop immediately as soon as they start.

The pH of a 0.30 M solution of a weak acid is 2.67. What is the Ka for this acid?
A) 4.4 X10^-4
B) 6.6 x10^-4
C) 1.5 x10^-4
D) 2.1 x 10^-4
E) None of the above

Answers

Answer:

Ka  → 1.5×10⁻⁵

Option E. None of the above

Explanation:

We propose the reaction of equlibrium

Weak ac.H +  H₂O ⇄  Weak ac⁻  +  H₃O⁺

Initially we have 0.30 moles of acid in 1 L

In equilibrium we would have:

Weak ac.H +  H₂O ⇄  Weak ac⁻  +  H₃O⁺

0.30 - x                               x               x

We have the pH, where we can obtanined the x, the [H₃O⁺] in the equilibrium.

pH = - log [H₃O⁺] → [H₃O⁺] = 10^⁻(pH)

[H₃O⁺] = 10⁻²'⁶⁷ = 2.14×10⁻³

So let's determine the concentration of the acid, in the equilibrium

0.30 - 2.14×10⁻³ = 0.29786 → [Weak ac.H]

2.14×10⁻³ →  [H₃O⁺] = Conjugate base (Weak ac.⁻)

Let's make the expression for Ka

Ka = [Weak ac.⁻] .  [H₃O⁺]  / [Weak ac.H]

Ka = x² / 0.30 - x

Ka = (2.14×10⁻³)² / 0.29786 → 1.5×10⁻⁵
