There are a lot of separation processes. To name a few, these can be distillation, centrifugation, extraction, membrane or sorption process and many other. To know which is the best technique, you should know the property between two substances that have a stark difference. In this case, it is the polarity. Ethyl alcohol is more polar than ethyl ester and less dense. Thus, these two won't mix. So, take advantage of their density difference by decantation or centrifugation.

What conflicts did issac newton have with Robert Hooke?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The great confrontation between the two men occurred  in 1686 when Newton published the first volume of his Principia and Hooke affirmed that it was he who had given him the notion that led him to the law of universal gravitation. Hooke demanded credit as the author of the idea but Newton denied it

Tap water at room temperature has a pH of 7.2 and carbonate alkalinity of 200 mg/L (= 40 mmol/L). What is the concentration of b
UNO [17]

Answer:

the concentration of bicarbonate is <em>[HCO₃⁻] = 0,03996 M </em>and carbonate is <em>[CO₃²⁻] = 3,56x10⁻⁵ M.</em>

Explanation:

Carbonate-bicarbonate is:

HCO₃⁻ ⇄ CO₃²⁻ + H⁺ With pka = 10,25

Using Henderson-Hasselbalach formula:

pH = pka + log₁₀\frac{[CO_{3}^{2-}]}{[HCO_{3}^-]}

7,2 = 10,25 + log₁₀\frac{[CO_{3}^{2-}]}{[HCO_{3}^-]}

8,91x10⁻⁴ = \frac{[CO_{3}^{2-}]}{[HCO_{3}^-]} <em>(1)</em>

Also:

0,040 M = [CO₃²⁻] + [HCO₃⁻] <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in 1:

<em>[HCO₃⁻] = 0,03996 M</em>

Thus:

<em>[CO₃²⁻] = 3,56x10⁻⁵ M</em>

I hope it helps.

A gas system has volume, moles and temperature of 9040 mL, 0.447 moles and -35.50 oC, respectively. What is the pressure in atm?
babymother [125]

Answer : The pressure of the gas is, 0.964 atm

Solution : Given,

Volume of gas = 9040 ml = 9.040 L        (1 L = 1000 ml)

Moles of gas = 0.447 moles

Temperature of gas = -35.50^oC=237.5K       (0^oC=273K)

Using ideal gas equation,

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

T = temperature of the gas

n = number of moles of gas

R = gas constant = 0.0821Latm/moleK

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the pressure of the gas.

P(9.040L)=(0.447moles)\times (0.0821Latm/moleK)\times (237.5K)

By rearranging the terms, we get

P=0.964atm

Therefore, the pressure of the gas is, 0.964 atm
