In the spring of 1984, concern arose over the presence of ethylene dibromide, or EDB, in grains and cereals. EDB has the molecul

ar formula C2H4Br2 and until 1984 was commonly used as a plant fumigant. The federal limit for EDB in finished cereal products is 30.0 parts per billion (ppb), where 1.0 ppb = 1.0 ✕ 10−9 g of EDB for every 1.0 g of sample. How many molecules of EDB are in 1.9 lb of flour if 31.5 ppb of EDB is present?

869.6 × 10¹⁴ molecules of EDB

Explanation:

We have 1.9 lb of flour with a EDB concentration of 31.5 ppb.

We need to transform lb in grams.

1 lb = 453.6 grams

1.9 lb = (1.9 × 453.6) / 1 = 861.8 grams

Now we determine the number of molecules of EDB in the sample by devise the following reasoning:

if we have        31.5 × 10⁻⁹ g of EDB in 1 g of sample

then we have   X  g of EDB in 861.8 g of sample

X = (31.5 × 10⁻⁹ × 861.8) / 1 = 27146.7 × 10⁻⁹ g of EDB

Molecular mass of EDB (C₂H₄Br₂) = 188 g/mole

Taking in account that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ (Avogadro’s number) molecules we devise the following reasoning:

if       188 g of EDB contains 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

then 27146.7 × 10⁻⁹ g of EDB contains Y molecules

Y = (27146.7 × 10⁻⁹ × 6.022 × 10²³) / 188 = 869.6 × 10¹⁴ molecules of EDB

Which substance is the oxidizing agent in this reaction? 2CuO+C→2Cu+CO2 Express your answer as a chemical formula.
Alja [10]
The oxidizing agent is the one that is reduced in the reaction. In this reaction, the charge of Cu falls from +2 to zero charge (neutral atom in the right side). Hence, CuO is the oxidizing agent. The reducing agent, the one being oxidized is carbon from zero charge to +4. The answer is CuO.

From the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, explain how the ratio [Al/[HA] changes with changing pH
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The ratio [A-]/[HA] increase when the pH increase and the ratio decrease when the pH decrease.

Explanation:

Every weak acid or base is at equilibrium with its conjugate base or acid respectively when it is dissolved in water.

HA + H_{2}O ⇄ A^{-} + H_{3}O^{+}

This equilibrium depends on the molecule and it acidic constant (Ka). The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,

pH = pKa + Log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}

shows the dependency between the pH of the solution, the pKa and the concentration of the species. If the pH decreases the concentration of protons will increase and the ratio between A- and AH will decrease. Instead, if the pH increases the concentration of protons will decreases and the ratio between A- and AH will increase.
