N-Octanol and water are chosen because the connection between a substance's hydrophilicity and lipophilicity is measured by K_{OW} (n-Octanol/Water partition coefficient). When a chemical is more dissolves in fat-like solvents like n-octanol, the value is more significant than one,  when it's more dissolved in water, the value is lower.

What is the partition coefficient?

  • The partition coefficient for the two-phase network comprising n-octanol and water is known as the K_{OW} value. N-Octanol-Water Partition Ratio is another name for it.
  • The connection between a substance's hydrophilicity (its ability to dissolve in water) and lipophilicity (its ability to dissolve in fat) is measured by K_{OW}. The value is bigger if a drug is more accessible in fat-like liquids like n-octanol and less if a compound seems more water-soluble.
  • Owing to linkage or fragmentation, substances that are involved in the octanol-water combination as multiple synthetic entities are each given a unique K_{OW} ratio.

So, N-Octanol is chosen because it has a carbon/oxygen ratio that is comparable to that of lipids and because it shows both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties. N-octanol, therefore, resembles the makeup and characteristics of cells and other living things.

Question 9. The first one is the smallest. Anything with a negative exponent is going to be less than 1, the .00000241. The exponent tells you the number of zeroes to the right of the decimal point. Farther to right gets smaller and smaller.

Question 10. The last one is true. If the last digit is smaller than 5, drop the digit, and do not change. (If it is a 5 or larger, the digit before it would round up)

What is the solubility of m(oh)2 in a 0.202 m solution of m(no3)2? ksp = 9.05×10−18?
saveliy_v [14]
<span>M(NO3)2 ==> [M2+] + 2 [NO3-] 0.202 M ==> 0.202 M M(OH)2 ==> [M2+] + 2[OH-] 5.05*10^-18 ===> s + [2s]^2 5.05*10^-18 ===> 0.202 + [2s]^2 5.05*10^-18 = 0.202 * 4s^2 4s^2 = 25*10^-18 s^2 = 6.25*10^-18 s = 2.5*10^-9 So, the solubility is 2.5*10^-9</span>

Determine the number of moles in 382.5g of CO-2
exis [7]

Answer: 8.691 mols of CO₂

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a given grams, you want to use the molar mass.

Let's first find the molar mass of CO₂.

Carbon's molar mass is 12.011 g/mol

Oxygen's molar mass is 15.999 g/mol

To find molar mass of CO₂, we want to add up the molar mass of carbon and oxygen. Remember, there are 2 Oxygens so we need to mulitply that by 2.

12.011+2(15.999)=44.009 g/mol

Now that we have molar mass, we can convert 382.5 g to mols.

382.5g*\frac{1 mol}{44.009g} =8.691 mol

There are about 8.691 mols of CO₂.

the red line observed in the line spectrum for hydrogen has 3.03x10^-19J, what is the wavelength, in nm, of this?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

λ = 6.5604 x 1016 nm

Explanation:

Given Data:

The energy of the red line in Hydrogen Spectra = 3.03 x 10-19

Formula to calculate Wave length

E= hv

Where E is Energy

h is Planks Constant = 6.626 x 10–34 J s

v is frequency

In turn

v= c/ λ

where c is speed of light = 3.00 x 108 m s–1

λ is wavelength = to find

Solution:

Formula to be Used:

E= hv………………………… (1)

Putting the value v in equation 1

               E= h c/ λ…………………… (2)

Put the value in equation 2

3.03 x 10-19 J  = (6.626 x 10–34 J s) x (3.00 x 108 m s–1) / λ ……………………….(3)

By rearranging equation 3

λ = (6.626 x 10–34 J s) x (3.00 x 108 m s–1) /3.03 x 10-19  J

λ = 6.5604 x 107 m

The answer is in “m”

So we have to convert it into nm

So for this to convert “m” to “nm” multiply the answer with 109

λ = 6.5604 x 107 x 109

λ = 6.5604 x 1016 nm
