3 0

We produce formaldehyde for medicinal purposes and synthesizing polyester.

Formaldehyde is a compound that is required in about 1.5 ounces in quantity as a normal part of our metabolism.

Also formaldehyde is used as a catalyst in the formation for the synthesis of many polyesters.

Formaldehyde also has many uses such as fungicide, germicide, disinfectant and as a preservative in mortuaries as well as important chemical in medical Laboratories.

In everyday items press fabric paints coating and paper base products also includes formaldehyde.

How are priorities assigned to each group bonded to a tetrahedral stereogenic center?
inn [45]

To assign a priority to an atom that is part of multiple bonds, treat the multiple bonds as an equivalent number of single bonds. Hence, option A is correct.

<h3>What is a stereogenic centre?</h3>

A carbon atom is a chiral (stereogenic) centre if it is tetrahedral (sp3) and has four different groups (ligands) attached to it.

To assign a priority to an atom that is part of multiple bonds, treat the multiply bonded atom as an equivalent number of singly bonded atoms.

If two isotopes are bonded to the stereogenic centre, the isotope with the higher mass number has a higher priority.

Hence, option A is correct.

What is the half life of an atom that goes from 16000 g to 125 g in 163.24 days.
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

23.32\ \text{days}

Explanation:

N = Final mass of atom = 125 g

N_0 = Initial mass of atom = 16000 g

t = Time taken = 163.24 days

t_{1/2} = Half life

We have the relation

N=N_0\dfrac{1}{2}^{\dfrac{t}{t_{1/2}}}\\\Rightarrow 125=16000\times \dfrac{1}{2}^{\dfrac{163.24}{t_{1/2}}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{125}{16000}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{\dfrac{163.24}{t_{1/2}}}\\\Rightarrow \ln0.0078125=\dfrac{163.24}{t_{1/2}}\ln0.5\\\Rightarrow t_{1/2}=\dfrac{163.24\times\ln0.5}{\ln0.0078125}\\\Rightarrow t_{1/2}=23.32\ \text{days}

The half life of the atom is 23.32\ \text{days}.

Olive oil has a density of 0.92 g/mL. How much would 1 liter of olive oil weigh in grams?
svp [43]
Dimension analysis is to be used to solve this problem. First convert 1L to milliliters. That is equivalent to 1000 ml. Then by dimension analysis, multiply the volume ( 1000ml) to the density of oil (0.92 g/ml) resulting to the answer: 920 grams.

Your answer
Ratling [72]

Answer:

To reduce acid rain.

Explanation:

Sulfur often removed from fuels before they are burnt because when sulfur is burned it get converted into sulfur dioxide and when sulfur dioxide mix with atmosphere, it can cause acid rain which is very harmful.

So, in order to reduce acid rain, sulfur often removed from fuels before they are burnt.

Hence, the correct answer is "To reduce acid rain."
