<span>The NaCl is extracted three times to get maximum amount of it. Each extraction only yeilds about 50% of the NaCl from the water. So, after the tird extraction, you would have recieved around 87.5% of the total amount of NaCl from the water(50%+25%+12.5%). After the third extraction, the amount of salt in the water will only be a small amount.</span>

Hi!

All these prefixes are commonly employed in the nomenclature in organic chemistry. These are associated with organic compounds, such as alkanes, alkenes, alcohols and carboxylic acids -and these prefixes are known as word root.

<h3>The answers would be:</h3><h3>a) 1 - meth</h3>

Meth is associated with the number one, in that it signifies the presence of one carbon in the compound in concern. For instance, a one carbon alkane would be known as methane -with <em>ane </em>being indicative of the compound being an alkane, and meth denoting the presence of one carbon

<h3>b) 2 - eth</h3>

Eth is the associated prefix with the number 2 as it denotes the presence of 2 carbon atoms in the compound. For instance, the compound ethene gets it name for having 2 carbon atoms (denoted by eth). The eth acts as a prefix to the characteristic <em>ene</em> of alkenes.

<h3>c) 3 - prop</h3>

Prop is the prefix that signifies the presence of 3 carbons in the compound in concern. For instance, propanol is a three carbon alcohol, which we can tell by the name. Prop indicating three carbons in the compound, and <em>anol</em> being indicative of the compound being an alcohol.

<h3>d) 4 - but</h3>

But is associated with the number one, in that it denotes the presence of 4 carbons in the compound. For instance, a 4 carbon carboxylic acid would be known as butanoic acid -with anoic<em> </em>being indicative of the compound being a carboxylic acid, and but signifying the presence of four carbons.

<h3>e) 5 - pent</h3>

Pent is the associated prefix with the number five as it denotes the presence of five carbon atoms in the compound. For instance, the compound pentene gets it name for having five carbon atoms (denoted by pent). The pent acts as a prefix to the characteristic <em>ene</em> of alkenes.

<h3>f) 6 - hex</h3>

Hex is the prefix that signifies the presence of six carbons in the compound in question. For instance, a six carbon alkane would be known as hexane -with <em>ane </em>being indicative of the compound being an alkane, and hex denoting the presence of one carbon

<h3>g) 7 - hept</h3>

Hept is the associated prefix with the number seven as it denotes the presence of seven carbon atoms in the compound. For instance, the compound heptene gets it name for having seven carbon atoms (denoted by hept). The hept acts as a prefix to the characteristic <em>ene</em> of alkenes.

<h3>h) 8 - oct</h3>

Oct is the prefix that is associated with the number 8. This is because it denotes the presence of eight carbon atoms in the compound. For instance, the compound octane gets it name for having eight carbon atoms (denoted by oct). The oct acts as a prefix to the characteristic <em>ane</em> of alkanes.

<h3>i) 9 - non</h3>

Non is the prefix that is associated with the number nine, and thus denotes the presence of nine carbon atoms in the compound. For instance, for alkanes, a nonane would be a nine carbon atom alkane, with non denoting the presence of nine carbon atoms, and <em>ane</em> being indicative that the compound it an alkane.

<h3>j) 10- dec</h3>

Dec is the prefix that is associated with the number nine, and thus denotes the presence of nine carbon atoms in the compound. For instance, for alkanes, a decane would be an alkane with ten carbon atoms, with dec denoting the presence of ten carbon atoms, and <em>ane</em> being indicative that the compound it an alkane.

<h3>Hope this helps!</h3>

Paul [167]

Answer : The volume of O_2(g) produced at standard conditions of temperature and pressure is 0.2422 L

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of O_2 gas = (740-22.4) torr = 717.6 torr

P_2 = final pressure of O_2 gas at STP= 760 torr

V_1 = initial volume of O_2 gas = 280 mL

V_2 = final volume of O_2 gas at STP = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of O_2 gas = 25^oC=273+25=298K

T_2 = final temperature of O_2 gas = 0^oC=273+0=273K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{717.6torr\times 280mL}{298K}=\frac{760torr\times V_2}{273K}

V_2=242.2mL=0.2422L

Therefore, the volume of O_2(g) produced at standard conditions of temperature and pressure is 0.2422 L

Balance this equation. Pb(NO3)2(aq)+NaCl(aq) -&gt; NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) -> 2NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

Explanation:

Pb(NO3)2(aq)+NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

This is how it starts out.

Left:

  • 2 NO3s
  • 1 Pb
  • 1 Na
  • 1 Cl

Right

  • 1 Na
  • 1 NO3
  • 1 Pb
  • 2 Cl

So the place to start with this equation is to bring the Cls up to 2

Pb(NO3)2(aq)+2NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

But the Nas are now out of kilter.

Pb(NO3)2(aq)+ 2NaCl(aq) -> NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

Now the right has a problem. There's only 1 Na

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NaCl(aq) -> 2NaNO3(aq)+PbCl2(s)

Check it out. It looks like we are done.
