What are two things that you observed when you heated the mixture of tin and nitric acid over the Bunsen burner in the virtual l

1. The reaction for this would be:

Sn + 4 HNO₃ →  SnO₂ + 4 NO₂ + 2 H₂O

The first observation would be bubbling of the solution and brown acrid smoke is produced due to the presence of NO₂ gas. Another observation would be the presence of a white solid which is SnO₂.

2. Heating was required to get rid of the H₂O. When all moisture is gone, you weigh the sample. Afterwhich, you further heat it to get ride of the oxygen. By doing this, you would know the individual mass of each element. Then, you can solve for the empirical formula of the oxide of tin.

____________ use cleaning solutions that eventually become spent and must be disposed of properly.
Elanso [62]

The answer is- Part washers use cleaning solutions that eventually become spent and must be disposed of properly.

Cleaning solutions: Cleaning solution is a liquid solvent or solution used to clean the working surfaces and the parts of a machine.

What type of cleaning solution is Part washers?

  • Parts washers are mechanical devices that are designed to be cleaned to remove debris, dirt, oil, paint, and other substances that could potentially contaminate parts to prepare them for assembly, packaging, or even painting.
  • They are basically used to clean parts to make them ready for functional use.
  • Cleaning solutions for washing used parts are considered a special waste because they can be hazardous waste and are waste from an industrial process.
  • Used solvents are almost always hazardous waste. Both solvent and aqueous parts washers produce a sludge that is usually hazardous because it contains toxic metals and solvents from the parts being cleaned.
  • Absorbents used to wipe parts after washing are also dangerous if they contain toxic metals in concentrations exceeding regulatory limits or listed hazardous solvents, and used oil may also contain hazardous waste.
  • Thus, these cleaning solutions must be disposed of properly.

Determine the empirical formula. a 3.880g sample contains 0.691g of magnesium , 1.84 g of sulfur , and 1.365 g of oxygen .
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Mg S2 O3

Explanation:

.691 g of Mg  is .284 mole

1.84 g of S    is .5739 mole

1.365 g of O is  .8531 mole      you can see the ratio is ~  1 :2 :3

                                                        Mg S2 O3

Why does perchloric acid cause macromolecules to precipitate?
asambeis [7]
Perchloric acid (HCO₄) is one of strongest inorganic acids. Perchloric acid  precipitation is used to removes most of the protein present in the sample and stabilize many of the small molecule analytes. It can use also to precipitation glycogen, ATP, glutathione, antioxidants.
Perchloric acid donates protons to macromolecules and lower their solubility in water. Also perchloric acid is strong oxidizing agent and change oxidation number of elements.
