Why must contact lenses be removed before you enter a chemistry laboratory?

1 answer:

6 0

The vapors of some chemicals used in the chemistry laboratory, especially isocyanates, can react and bond the contact lens to the eye.

(FYI - the family of isocyanates include Superglue..I wouldn't want to have been the person who discovered this unfortunate reaction!)

In a mixture of 2 ideal gases, A and B, PA = 0.2PB, what is the mole fraction of A?

Alborosie

Answer:

0.1667

Explanation:

Hello,

Dalton's law defines:

$y_i=\frac{P_i}{P_T}$

A total pressure is:

$P_T=P_A+P_B$

So, for A (solving for $P_A$ in the previous equation, we get:

$y_A=\frac{P_A}{P_A+P_B}$

Since $P_A=0.2P_B$ , we obtain:

$y_A=\frac{P_A}{P_A+P_A/0.2}\\y_A=\frac{1}{6}\\y_A=0.1667$ }

Best regards.

Which of the following best describes what happens when molecular compounds melt? A.) Molecules separate into their component at

Semenov [28]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. When a molecular compound melts, they undergo the process of phase change from solid to liquid therefore m<span>olecules arranged in a regular pattern change to an irregular pattern. Hope this answers the question.</span>
