Separate a mixture of sand, common salt, copper pieces and iron fillings. Also measure the amount of common salt in the mixture.

Write the steps and the procedure of separation. Also what safety measures you will take during the experiment.

Answer:

Explanation:

This question seeks to test the knowledge of separation techniques.

From the narration in the question, the first separation to be done is the removal of Iron fillings by the use of magnet (magnetic separation). Since Iron is magnetic, the iron fillings will be attracted by the magnet hence removing the iron fillings from the mixture.

The second constituent to be removed will be the copper pieces by the use of a sieve (sieving). Copper pieces have relatively larger sizes than sand and common salt, hence a sieve (which separates particles based on size) can be used to remove the copper pieces from the mixture.

What will be left in the mixture after the processes above will be salt and water. This mixture will have to be dissolved in water; the salt will dissolve in water while the sand will not. After which, filtration will be done to remove the sand which will be collected on the filter paper as filtride and the salt solution will pass through the filter paper as filtrate.

The salt solution can then be evaporated to dryness to retrieve the solid salt from the solution.

The amount of salt in the mixture can then be measured using a weighing balance.

Some of safety measures to be taken during the course of this experiment includes performing the experiment in an airtight and controlled environment. Lab coat and hand gloves should be worn during the course of the experiment. The evaporation to dryness should not be done close to an inflammable material/substance

What is the boiling point of 0.464 m lactose in water? (Kb of water = 0.512 oC/m). Enter your answer to 3 decimal places.
kirill [66]

Answer:

Boiling point for the solution is 100.237°C

Explanation:

We must apply colligative property of boiling point elevation

T° boiling solution - T° boiling pure solvent = Kb . m

m = molalilty (a given data)

Kb = Ebulloscopic constant (a given data)

We know that water boils at 100°C so let's replace the information in the formula.

T° boiling solution - 100°C = 0.512 °C/m . 0.464 m

T° boiliing solution = 0.512 °C/m . 0.464 m + 100°C → 100.237 °C

Calculate the number of moles found in 3.045x1024 atoms of helium.<br><br> PLS HELP
Kisachek [45]

Explanation:

so for this u have to use this equation where

Moles = number of particle/6.02×10^23

= 3.045 × 10^24/6.02×10^23

= 5.0581

write it to 3 S.F so 5.06 moles

Scientists' belief that an atom is a solid sphere, is good enough to explain; PLZ I HAVE LESS TIME!!!!
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Its quite vague, instead you could say an atom is the smallest building block which further consists of subatomic particles like protons, neutrons and electrons :)

Hope thi helps :) and I'd appreciate if you'd mark brainliest because ive been stuck on the same rank for quite a long time :(
