Select the fastest way to differentiate between the organic and aqueous layers of an extraction.a. Hold a white piece of paper b

ehind the separatory funnel. The organic layer will have a slight yellow color, while the aqueous layer will be colorless.b. Add a few drops of one of the layers to a test tube containing 1 mL of water. Shake the test tube to determine the solubility of the layer in water.c. Separate the layers and heat them. The organic layer will have the lowest boiling point.d. Weigh equal volumes of each layer. The aqueous layer will have the highest mass.

Answer:

b. Add a few drops of one of the layers to a test tube containing 1 mL of water. Shake the test tube to determine the solubility of the layer in water

Explanation:

Option a is not true, it depends on the compound being extracted.

Option c is not true, although most of the solvents used in extractions have lower boiling point than water there are exceptions, for example toluene.

Option  d is not true. Again most of the solvents used in extractions are less dense than water, there are many exceptions, for example chloroform, so for equal volumes the chloroform layer will weigh more.

Option b. is the correct one.

One will test the  miscibility of the layer in water. If it inmiscible then one would know is the organic layer. If it is the aqueous layer then it will completely be miscible.

List two non-metal elements that combine with three hydrogen atoms to satisfy the octet rule
viva [34]
  • Nitrogen as in NH₃.
  • Phosphorous as in PH₃.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

Hydrogen is in group 1. It is one electron away from the next noble gas element. It would form one single covalent bond when it bonds to nonmetals.

A nonmetal atom will gain three extra electrons when it bonds to three hydrogen atoms. For the molecule to be stable, that nonmetal atom should be three electrons away from the next noble gas element. Each of the atoms in question should contain 8 - 3 = 5 valence electrons when neutral. Which column on a periodic table contains such elements?

Pleaseeee help me
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

2Al (s) + 3CuCl2( aq) --> 2AlCl3 (aq) + 3Cu(s)

Explanation:

The main thing for this equation is to follow the amount on each side. Count each element on each side. Then by looking at the numbers figure out what numerical digit would make them equal.

For example:

On the left we have

Cu=1 and Cl=2.

But on the right we have

Cu=1 and Cl=3.

In order for them to be the same, we must add a coefficient of 3 to CuCl2 (aq0  on the left and a coefficient of 3 to Cu(s) on the right.

Guess how many water molecules self-ionize in one liter of water! a) 7 moles b) 1 mole c) 10,000,000 moles d) 0.0000001 moles​
Rudiy27

Answer:

D)

Explanation:

This seems like a weird question

Water is held together by covalent bonds. The amount of energy required to break these bonds so that water would split into it's respective ions is pretty high. The chances that any one of the molecules floating in 1L of water get enough energy to spontaneously burst into it's ions is slim to none.

So, D) seems like the most likely answer

Write the resonance forms of ozone, O3, the component of the upper atmosphere that protects the Earth from ultraviolet radiation
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The resonance forms of O3 are attached as an image.

Explanation:

A compound with different contributing structures comes together and forms a resonating or intermediate structure that best describes the properties of that compound.

The given compound is ozone, having the chemical formula  

O3 = 6 electrons * 3 = 18 electrons

O → prefers to have a complete their octet

The bonding electrons and lone pair electrons are radical electrons that are present on the oxygen atoms tend to delocalize and results in various resonating forms of O3.
