A student was performing a separation of a mixture of organic compounds. The final step of the process involved a filtration of

Ahat [919]

Answer:

1) No

2) The solvent contaminated the analyte

3) The solvent should be evaporated properly before washing and drying the analyte

Explanation:

During separation of organic compounds, solvents are used. These solvents are able to contaminate the analyte and lead to a large difference in melting point of solids obtained.

However, the error can be minimized by evaporating the solvent before washing, drying and melting point determination of the solid.

Estimate the surface-to-volume ratio of a C60 fullerene by treating the molecule as a hollow sphere and using 77pm for the atomi

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The surface-to-volume ratio of a C-60 fullerene is 3:77.

Explanation:

Surface area of sphere = $S=4\pi r^2$

Volume of the sphere = $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

where : r = radius of the sphere

Radius of the C-60 fullerene sphere = r = 77 pm

Surface area of the C-60 fullerene = $S=4\pi (77 pm)^2$ ...[1]

Volume area of the C-60 fullerene = $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (77 pm)^3$ ..[2]

Dividing [1] by [2]:

$\frac{S}{V}=\frac{4\pi (77 pm)^2}{\frac{4}{3}\pi (77 pm)^3}$

$=\frac{3}{77}$

The surface-to-volume ratio of a C-60 fullerene is 3:77.

How can exposoure to high energy waves be both harmful and helpful to cells??

belka [17]

Exposure to high energy waves can be helpful to cells by damaging DNA in cells, meaning if somebody were to have cancer cells it breaks down the bad cells and it can shrink tumor. It can be harmful by damaging skin cells, which we need as our first line of defense. Meaning, it could cause skin cancer. Hope this helped!

A sample of 42 mL of carbon dioxide gas was placed in a piston in order to maintain a constant 101 kPa of pressure.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 33.4 ml

Explanation:

Data

volume 1 = V1 = 42 ml

temperature 1 = T1 = 20°C

temperature 2 = T2 = -60°C

Volume 2 = V2 = x

Process

1.- Convert celsius to kelvin

T1 = 20 + 273 = 293°K

T2 = -60 + 273 = 233°K

2.- Use the Charles' law to solve this problem

$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$

Solve for V2

V2 = $\frac{V1T2}{T1}$

3.- Substitution

V2 = $\frac{(42)(233)}{293}$

4.- Simplification

V2 = $\frac{9786}{293}$

5.- Result

V2 = 33.4ml
