Staining specimen with heavy metal salts (e.g. tungsten, molybdenum) allows you to see the specimen better with higher contrast when electron beam deflects off of your sample.

In transmission electron microscope electrons are transmitted through an ultrathin section of a specimen to form a digital image.  It necessary to stain the specimen with heavy metal salts to create a contrast such that various cell sub structures are easily visible. For example, DNA is stained with heavy salts such that it is easily visible against the background.

Two German chemists, Justus von Liebig (1803–1873) and Friedrich Wöhler (1800–1882), were responsible for the emergence of organic chemistry in the early nineteenth century. Their quantitative analytical methods helped establish the constitution of newly isolated and synthesized carbon compounds.

Consider the reaction below. Initially the concentration of SO2Cl2 is 0.1000 M. Solve for the equilibrium concentration of SO2Cl
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

[SO_2Cl_2] = 0.09983 M

Explanation:

Write the balance chemical equation ,

SO_2Cl_2((g) = SO_2(g) + Cl_2(g)

initial concenration of SO_2Cl_2((g)  =0.1M

lets assume that degree of dissociation=\alpha

concenration of each component at equilibrium:

[SO_2Cl_2] = 0.1-0.1\alpha

[SO_2] = 0.1\alpha

[Cl_2] = 0.1\alpha

Kc =\frac{0.1\alpha \times 0.1\alpha}{0.1-0.1\alpha}

Kc =\frac{0.1\alpha \times \alpha}{1-\alpha}

as \alpha is very small then we can neglect  1-\alpha

therefore ,

Kc ={0.1\alpha \times \alpha}

\alpha =\sqrt{\frac{Kc}{0.1}}

\alpha = 1.73 \times 10^{-3}

Eqilibrium concenration of [SO_2Cl_2] = 0.1-0.1\alpha = 0.1-0.1\times 0.00173

[SO_2Cl_2] = 0.09983 M
