What is the most useful tool used by chemist?

1 answer:

6 0

<span> a distillation apparatus is, by far, the most useful tool in the toolbox. It’s most basic use allows you to separate chemicals based on their boiling points. That alone is cool. It also allows you to manufacture chemicals by forcing reactions that wouldn’t otherwise occur and reflux reactions that would otherwise take gallons of reactants.</span>

For a lake in Michigan, researchers have determined that largemouth bass feed on smaller fish, which in turn feed on zooplankton

allsm [11]

Answer:

the expected decline in largemouth bass is 3,000 kg.

Option d) 3,000 kg is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

In 2016, there was 600,000 kg of zooplankton in the lake.

In 2017, an accidental runoff of insecticide near the lake caused a 50 percent decline of the zooplankton population in the lake.

Now,

The remaining mass of zooplankton after the 50% decline will be;

⇒ 600,000 kg zooplankton × 50%

⇒ 600,000 × 50/100

⇒ 300,000 kg of zooplankton

Now, with 10 percent trophic efficiency; smaller fish directly feed on zooplankton; decline in smaller fish mass will be;

⇒ 300,000 kg × 10%

⇒ 300,000 × 10/100

⇒ 30000 kg

Finally, with 10 percent trophic efficiency, largemouth bash directly feed on smaller fish, so the expected decline in mass of largemouth bash will be;

⇒ 30000 kg × 10%

⇒ 30000 kg × 10/100

⇒ 3,000 kg

Therefore, the expected decline in largemouth bass is 3,000 kg.

Option d) 3,000 kg is the correct answer.

How much heat is required to change the temperature of a 15 g aluminum can with 100 g of water from 24.5°C to 55°C?

Assoli18 [71]

Heat capacity of aluminium = 0.900 J/g°C
While heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g°C
Heat = heat gained by water + heat gained by aluminium
Heat gained by water = 100 × 4.186 × 30.5
= 12767.3 Joules
Heat gained by aluminium = 15 × 0.9 × 30.5
= 411.75 Joules
Heat required = 13179.05 Joules or 13.179 kJoules

Propanoic acid has a boiling point of 141 °C, propanamide has a boiling point of 213 °C, and propanal has a boiling point of 48

deff fn [24]

Explanation:

As it is given that boiling point of propanamide is very high. So, reason for this is that easy formation of hydrogen bonds which are strong enough that we have to provide large amount of heat to break it.

As in $-NH_{2}$ , the hydrogen atoms which are present are positive in nature. Due to this they are able to form hydrogen bonds with the neighboring oxygen atom.

Hence, these bonds are so strong that high heat needs to given to break them.

A propanoic acid contain carboxylic group as the functional group. So, this group is also able to form hydrogen bonding as it forms a hydrogen bond between an acid group and hydroxyl group of neighboring molecule.

Hence, it will also require high heat to break the bond due to which there will be increase in boiling point.

In propanal, there is presence of aldehyde functional group and three carbon atoms chain which will not form strong bonding with the hydrogen atom of CHO. Due to this there will exist weak Vander waal's force that is not at all strong enough.

As a result, less energy will be needed to break the bonds in propanal. Hence, it has very low boiling point.
