In one of the routine analyses, Dr Entropy found that the concentration of phosphate had increased from 0.0090 mg/L to 0.220 mg/

L. This will require a lengthy investigation and detailed report into the causes. Being the master of disorder, he considers an act of serious scientific misconduct - diluting the sample to reduce phosphate concentration to the maximum allowable level of 0.100 mg/L, and hoping that no-one notices.
If the volume of the original sample with concentration 0.220 mg/L is 10.0 mL, what should be the final volume of solution in order to dilute it to 0.100 mg/L?

Answer:

The final volume should be 22 mL

Explanation:

For this problem, we will use the dilution equation:

C1*V1 = C2*V2

<u>Step 1</u>: Data given

with C1 = the initial concentration C1 = 0.220 mg/L

with V1 = the initial volume = 10 mL = 10 * 10^-3 L

with C2 = the final concentration = 0.100 mg/L

with V2 = the final volume = TO BE DETERMINED

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculating the final volume

C1*V1 = C2*V2

0.220 mg/L * 10*10^-3 L = 0.100 mg/L * V2

V2 = (0.220 mg/L * 10*10^-3 L) / 0.100 mg/L

V2 =0.022 L = 22 mL

The final volume should be 22 mL

When the pressure that a gas exerts on a sealed container changes from 22.5 psi to ? psi, the temperature changes from 110 degre
natta225 [31]
Using Gay-Lussac's Law, pressure is proportional to (absolute) temperature in Kelvin. We first convert the temperature values to Kelvin: 110 C = 383.15 K, while 65 C = 338.15 K.
P1/T1 = P2/T2
22.5/383.15 = P2/338.15
P2 = 19.9 psi

During a combustion reaction, 9.00 grams of oxygen reacted with 3.00 grams of CH4.
Monica [59]

Answer:

0.74 grams of methane

Explanation:

The balanced equation of the combustion reaction of methane with oxygen is:

  • CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O

it is clear that 1 mol of CH₄ reacts with 2 mol of O₂.

firstly, we need to calculate the number of moles of both

for CH₄:

number of moles = mass / molar mass = (3.00 g) /  (16.00 g/mol) = 0.1875 mol.

for O₂:

number of moles = mass / molar mass = (9.00 g) /  (32.00 g/mol) = 0.2812 mol.

  • it is clear that O₂ is the limiting reactant and methane will leftover.

using cross multiplication

1 mol of  CH₄ needs → 2 mol of O₂

???  mol of  CH₄  needs → 0.2812 mol of O₂

∴ the number of mol of CH₄ needed = (0.2812 * 1) / 2 = 0.1406 mol

so 0.14 mol will react and the remaining CH₄

mol of CH₄ left over = 0.1875 -0.1406 = 0.0469 mol

now we convert moles into grams

mass of CH₄ left over = no. of mol of CH₄ left over *  molar mass

                                    = 0.0469 mol * 16 g/mol = 0.7504 g

So, the right choice is 0.74 grams of methane

Is cooking raw tomatoes a physical or a chemical change?<br>Explain why?
salantis [7]

When you are asked a question like this, you can always ask yourself this question. Can I change it back after this change? For example, if you are burning wood, you cannot bring it back to wood after you burn it, therefore, it is a chemical change. However, if you boil and evaporate water, you can make the water condense again back into its liquid form. In this case, you cannot bring the tomato back to its raw state. Therefore, cooking raw tomatoes is a chemical change.

1. What is an isomer? How many possible isomers of hexane are there? What are the structural differences between these isomers?
VARVARA [1.3K]
Answer 1:
Isomers are compounds with same molecular formula but different structure formula. Isomers are classified into two types
a) Structural/configurational isomers
b) Stereo isomers
In structural/configurational isomers  atom and functional groups are attached in different fashion. Structural isomers may have different functional groups. Structural isomers are further classified as chain isomers, position isomers and functional isomers. In case of stereo-isomers, compounds have same functional group, but different orientation in space. They also have difference activity towards polarized light.

 Answer 2:
Hexane has a molecular formula of C6H14. It exhibits following structural isomers
a) hexane<span>,
b) 2-methylpentane
c)3-methylpentane
d) 2,2-dimethylbutane
e) 2,3-dimethylbutane
Thus, in all there are 5 isomers of hexane

Answer 3: 
</span><span>Butane has two possible isomers but that decane has 75 possible isomers. This can be attributed to the fact that butane has 4 carbon atoms, while decane has 10 carbon atom. As the number of carbon atom increases, there are higher possible sites of linkage, in different fashion. Therefore, as number 69 of carbon atoms increases, number of different possible isomers increases. 

Answer 4:
It has been observed that, though isomers have same molecular formula, but the have different boiling points. Infact, branched isomers have lower boiling point as compared to linear isomers. For example, hexane has boiling point = 69 oC, 2 methyl pentane has boiling point = 60 oC, 2,4, dimethyl butane has boiling point = 58 oC and 2,2 dimethyl butane has boiling point = 50 oC. Thus, it can be observed that branched isomers have lower boiling points as compared to linear isomers. This can be attributed to lower van der Waal's forces of interaction in branched isomers as compared to linear isomers.
