Atrazine is an herbicide widely used for corn and is a common groundwater pollutant in the corn-producing regions of the United

States. Use EPIWIN to find Koc for atrazine. Calculate the fraction of total atrazine that will be adsorbed to the soil given that the soil has an organic carbon content of 2.5%. The bulk density of the soil is 1.25 g/cm3 ; this means that each cubic centimeter of soil (soil plus water) contains 1.25 g of soil particles. The porosity of the soil is 0.4.

Answer:

0.94

Explanation:

Let's assume that the total sample of the soil is 1 cm³; which has a porosity of 0.4 cm³; then the original sample of the soil will be 0.6 cm³

The mass  of the soil particles in 1 cm³ of soil + water = 0.75 g

The fraction of the total atrazine can be calculated by the expression;

Total atrazine =C_w(\frac{g}{mL})*V_w(mL)+C_{(soil)}(\frac{g}{soil})*M_{(soil)}(gsoil)

Also; C_{(soil)}(\frac{g}{soil})= K_{oc}(\frac{mL}{gOC})*f_{oc} (\frac{gOC}{gsoil})*C_w(\frac{g}{mL})

NOTE THAT: K_{oc}( \frac{mL}{gOC})=K_{oc}\frac{L}{kgOC}

Total atrazine can now be calculated as:

C_w*0.4+K_{oc}f_{oc}C_w*0.75 = \frac{C_{soil}*M_{soil}}{Total atrazine}

=\frac{K_{oc}f_{oc}C_w*M_{soil}}{C_w*0.4+K_{oc}f_{oc}C_w*0.75} = \frac{0.75*K_{oc}f_{oc}}{0.4+K_{oc}f_{oc}*0.75}

= \frac{10^{2.52}*0.025*0.75}{0.4+10^{2.52}*0.025*0.75}

= 0.94

Thus,the fraction of total atrazine that will be adsorbed to the soil = 0.94.

Toluene (C6H5CH3 ), an organic compound often used as a solvent in paints, is mixed with a similar organic compound, benzene (C6
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

 Weight of solute = 75.8 g,   Molecular weight of solute (toulene) = 92.13 g/mol,    volume = 200 ml

  • Therefore, molarity of toulene is calculated as follows.

      Molarity = \frac{\text{weight of solute}}{\text{molecular weight of solute}} \times \frac{1000}{\text{volume of solution in ml}}

                    = \frac{75.8 g}{92.13 g/mol} \times \frac{1000}{200 ml}

                    = 4.11 M

Hence, molarity of toulene is 4.11 M.

  • As molality is the number of moles of solute present in kg of solvent.

So, we will calculate the molality of toulene as follows.

   Molality = \frac{\text{given weight of solute}}{\text{given molecular weight of solute}} \times \frac{1000}{\text{weight of solvent in grams}}

             = \frac{75.8 g}{92.13 g/mol} \times \frac{1000}{95.6 g}

             = 8.6 m

Hence, molality of given toulene solution is 8.6 m.

  • Now, calculate the number of moles of toulene as follows.

       No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                             = \frac{75.8 g}{92.13 g/mol}

                             = 0.8227 mol

Now, no. of moles of benzene will be as follows.

     No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                             = \frac{95.6 g}{78.11 g/mol}

                             = 1.2239 mol

Hence, the mole fraction of toulene is as follows.

         Mole fraction = \frac{\text{moles of toulene}}{\text{total moles}}

                             = \frac{0.8227 mol}{(0.8227 + 1.2239) mol}

                             = 0.402

Hence, mole fraction of toulene is 0.402.

  • As density of given solution is 0.857 g/cm^{3} so, we will calculate the mass of solution as follows.

         Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

     0.857 g/cm^{3} = \frac{mass}{200 ml}      (As 1 cm^{3} = 1 g)

                      mass = 171.4 g

Therefore, calculate the mass percent of toulene as follows.

      Mass % = \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{mass of solution}} \times 100

                   = \frac{75.8 g}{171.4 g} \times 100

                   = 44.22%

Therefore, mass percent of toulene is 44.22%.

What is the major organic product obtained from the following reaction?
trapecia [35]

The correct option is (b)

NaNH2 is an effective base. It can be a good nucleophile in the few situations where its strong basicity does not have negative side effects. It is employed in elimination reactions as well as the deprotonation of weak acids.Alkynes, alcohols, and a variety of other functional groups with acidic protons, such as esters and ketones, will all be deprotonated by NaNH2, a powerful base.Alkynes are deprotonated with NaNH2 to produce what are known as "acetylide" ions. These ions are powerful nucleophiles that can react with alkyl halides to create carbon-carbon bonds and add to carbonyls in an addition reaction.Acid/base and nucleophilic substitution are the two types of reactions.Using the right base, terminal alkynes can be deprotonated to produce a carbanion.A good C is the acetylide carbanion.The acetylide carbanion can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions because it is a potent C nucleophile. (often SN2) with 1 or 2 alkyl halides with electrophilic C to create an internal alkyne (Cl, Br, or I).Elimination is more likely to occur with 3-alkyl halides.It is possible to swap either one or both of the terminal H atoms in ethylene (acetylene) to create monosubstituted (R-C-C-H) and symmetrical (R = R') or unsymmetrical (R not equal to R') disubstituted alkynes (R-C-C-R').
