The dichloromethane (DCM) has less density than water and also the polarity of water is much more than DCM. So the mixture of water and dichloromethane will always be a heterogeneous mixture. In the mixture dichloromethane will be always up of the water layer. The volume of the separatory funnel which contains the mixture of DCM and water must have to be more than the total volume of the liquids thus the volume of the funnel will be more than (50+50) = 100mL.
The caution have to consider during the separation are-
1. The separatory funnel have to shake well with lid and have to settle down for some times until the two liquid separated.
2. The lid should be open very slowly as the vapor pressure of DCM is more and it will float on the water.
3. After this the stopcock should be opened and slowly the water will come out first followed by DCM.
They are called carcinogens
Answer:
133.3atm
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial volume = 400ft³
Final volume = 3ft³
Initial pressure = 1atm
Unknown:
Final pressure = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we apply Boyle's law which states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes if the temperature is constant".
Mathematically;
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
P and V are pressure and volume
1 and 2 are initial and final states;
Insert parameters and solve;
1 x 400 = P₂ x 3
P₂ = 133.3atm
PPM and PPB are units used in atmospheric chemistry to describe the concentration of gases. PPM stands for parts of gas per million parts of air, and PPB is parts per billion. If that's not easy to imagine, try these examples: Part per million
