What general rule can be followed when choosing a type of solvent for a particular solute

1 answer:

4 0

General 'rule' - "like dissolves like". The solubility of a solute in a solvent (that is, the extent of the mixing of the solute and solvent species) depends on a balance between the natural tendency for the solute and solvent species to mix and the tendency for a system to have the lowest energy possible.

Hope this helps :p

The concentration of an additive in a standard sample of palm oil was measured 6 times and the following results were obtained:

Lerok [7]

In the data, 0.20 ppm is an outlier and this can be rejected if there is a 95% confidence level.

<h3>What is an outlier?</h3>

When analyzing data an outlier is a value that is abnormal or too different from other data. In the case presented 0.20 can be tagged as an outlier because other values such as 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, and 0.14 are similar while 0.20 is outside this range.

<h3>Should this piece of data be rejected?</h3>

The general rule is that if there is a 95% of confidence or higher you can reject an outlier, knowing the other data occurs 95% of the time, and therefore the outlier is improbable.

Based on this, you can reject an outlier if the confidence level is 95%.

What is the reaction used to join the fatty acid to the glycerol molecule?

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The reaction that is used to join fatty acid and glycerol is known as Lipogenesis.

Explanation:

Lipogenesis is an important anabolic pathway that helps in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol by joining glycerol with fatty acid by ester linkage.Lipogenesis occur in liver and adipose tissue .

Lipogenesis takes place in our body to store excess fatty acid in form of triacylglycerol which is a complex lipid molecule.

5. What are the relative rates of diffusion for methane, CH, and oxygen, O2? If O2 la travels 1.00 m in a certain amount of time

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The relative rates of diffusion for methane and oxygen is 1.4142.

Methane gas will be able to travel 1.4142 meter in the same conditions.

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. Mathematically written as:

$\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}$
