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.

What does a base release when it is placed in water?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

D - Hydroxide Ion (OH-)

Explanation:

A base provides either hydroxide ions (OH–) or other negatively charged ions that combine with hydrogen ions, reducing their concentration in the solution and thereby raising the pH. In cases where the base releases hydroxide ions, these ions bind to free hydrogen ions, generating new water molecules.

One mole of O2 has approximately the same mass as one mile of
stepladder [879]
I'm going to assume that you mean't mole instead of mile. One mole of O2 has approximately the same mass of one "mole" of N2. I say this because if these elements were rounded by their atomic mass, N would stay as 14, O would round up to 16, and we wouldn't; in this case, O2 would have approximately the same mass as F because F rounds up to 19 and the different between O and N is only 2 while the difference between O and F is 3.

pishuonlain [190]

<span>The answer is No, it is not possible that the reverse reaction will occur at ordinary conditions. This is because the entropy of the KCl and the O2 are much largely negative than that of the KClO3. The entropy component of the Gibbs free energy assures that the Gibbs free energy for the reverse reaction is positive (Positive Gibbs means nonspontaneous reaction). </span>

What is subshell?please help me
melamori03 [73]
<span>Each shell is composed of one or more subshells. The first K shell has one subshell, called ‘1s’; the L shell has two subshells, called ‘2s’ and ‘2p’; the third shell has ‘3s’, ‘3p’, and ‘3d’; and so on. A subshell is the set of states defined by the azimuthal quantum number, l, within a shell. The values l = 0, 1, 2, 3 correspond s, p, d and f subshells, respectively. The maximum number of electrons which can occupy a subshell is given by 2(2l + 1). This gives two electrons in an s subshell, six electrons in a p subshell, ten electrons in a d subshell and fourteen electrons in an f subshell.</span>
