What is the effect of an insoluble impurity, such as sand, on the observed melting point of a compound?]?

The effect of an insoluble impurity, such as sand, on the observed melting point of a compound would be none. It will not depress or elevate the melting point of the compound. Instead, it would affect the reading if you are trying to determine the melting point of the compound. This is because you might be missing  the actual melting point of the compound since you will be waiting for the whole sample to liquify. You would not be able to determine exactly that temperature because of the insoluble impurity would have a different melting point than that of the compound.

What fraction of the carbon dioxide exhaled by animals is generated by the reactions of the citric acid cycle
puteri [66]

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

Pyruvate is produced by the glycolysis in cytoplasm. The oxidation of pyruvate takes place in mitochondrial matrix.  

Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA in the reaction given below:

Pyruvate + NAD⁺ + CoA-SH ⇒ acetyl-CoA + NADH + CO₂

1 molecule of carbon dioxide is eliminated from 1 molecule of pyruvate.

Also,  

2 molecules of carbon dioxide is eliminated from 2 molecules of pyruvate (as glucose on glycolysis yields 2 molecules of pyruvate).

Also, acetyl-CoA further goes into the citric acid cycle and produces 2 molecules of carbon dioxide.

Thus pyruvate produces total 3 molecules of CO₂  and hence glucose produces 6 molecules of CO₂ (as glucose on glycolysis yields 2 molecules of pyruvate)

Thus,

<u>Fraction = 2/6 = 1/3</u>

Water has a specific heat of 4.186 J/g*C. How much energy would be required to raise the temperature of 10 g of water by 10 C?
Sladkaya [172]

Energy(heat) required to raise the temperature of water : 418.6 J

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Heat can be calculated using the formula:  

Q = mc∆T  

Q = heat, J  

m = mass, g  

c = specific heat, joules / g ° C  

∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K  

Specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g*C.

∆T(raise the temperature) : 10° C  

mass = 10 g

Heat required :

\tt Q=m.c.\Delta T\\\\Q=10\times 4.186\times 10\\\\Q=418.6~J

Suppose you mix one mole of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) with 1 mole of sodium hydroxide(NaOH).
olasank [31]

Answer & Explanation:

  • The neutralization of H₂SO₄ with NaOH is occurred according to the balanced equation:

<em>H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O,</em>

It is clear that every 1.0 mol of H₂SO₄ needs 2 mol of NaOH to be neutralized completely.

<em>So, when you mix one mole of sulfuric acid with 1 mole of sodium hydroxide, there will be an excess of sulfuric acid.</em>

<em>Thus, the pH of the solution remain below 7.</em>

What observation about light supported Einstein's theory?
Llana [10]

In 1905 Albert Einstein had proposed a solution to the problem of observations made on the behaviour of light having characteristics of both wave and particle theory. From work of Plank on emission of light from hot bodies, Einstein suggested that light is composed of tiny particles called <span>photons, </span>and each photon has energy.

Light theory branches in to the physics of <span>quantum mechanics, </span>which was conceptualised in the twentieth century. Quantum mechanics deals with behaviour of nature on the atomic scale or smaller.

As a result of quantum mechanics, this gave the proof of the dual nature of light and therefore not a contradiction.
