Answer:

The use of phenol (carbolic acid) as a wound disinfectant was first practiced by Lister. The correct option is E

Explanation:

Phenol( carbolic acid) is an aromatic organic compound. It has the following properties:

- it's soluble in water

- it's a weak acid and

- highly reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution

In Medical field, phenol was first used as an antiseptic by Joseph Lister.Joseph Lister was a student at University College London under Robert Liston, later rising to the rank of Surgeon at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He believed that patients who passed through surgery, died due to infections caused by microorganisms.He theorized that if germs could be killed or prevented, no infection would occur. Lister reasoned that a chemical could be used to destroy the micro-organisms that cause infection. He made use of the carbolic acid by soaking a clean cloth in them, and placing it over the surgical wounds of patients.

2. Suppose that 21.37 mL of NaOH is needed to titrate 10.00 mL of 0.1450 M H2SO4 solution.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

0.1357 M

Explanation:

(a) The balanced reaction is shown below as:

2NaOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O

(b) Moles of H_2SO_4 can be calculated as:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Or,

Moles =Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Given :

For H_2SO_4 :

Molarity = 0.1450 M

Volume = 10.00 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 10×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of H_2SO_4 :

Moles=0.1450 \times {10\times 10^{-3}}\ moles

Moles of H_2SO_4  = 0.00145 moles

From the reaction,

1 mole of H_2SO_4 react with 2 moles of NaOH

0.00145 mole of H_2SO_4 react with 2*0.00145 mole of NaOH

Moles of NaOH = 0.0029 moles

Volume = 21.37 mL = 21.37×10⁻³ L

Molarity = Moles / Volume = 0.0029 /  21.37×10⁻³  M = 0.1357 M

What are the period and group trends in electronegativities
Leviafan [203]

Electronegativity of an element decreases as we move down a group on the periodic table and electronegativity increases while moving from left to right across a period on the periodic table.

Explanation:

  • The electronegativity increases as we move from left to right across a period because from left to right across a period, the nuclear charge is increasing Hence the attraction for the valence electrons also increases.
  • As we move down a group, the atoms of each element have an increasing number of energy levels. The distance between the nucleus and valence electron shell increases and reduces the attraction for valence electrons. Hence electronegativity decreases as we move from top to bottom down a group.

solmaris [256]

Answer: c. Salt and Water

Explanation:

For example;

When an Arrhenius acid such as; Tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid  (H2SO4) reacts with an Arrhenius base such as Potassium hydroxide (KOH), the products formed in this neutralization reaction is a salt known as ''Potassium Sulphate''  (K2SO4) and ''Water'' (H2O).

H2SO4   +     KOH ------------->   K2SO4      +    H2O
