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

Water _____.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: is neither an acid nor a base

Explanation: Water is a universal solvent which means it can dissolve most of the substances in it.

Water has high thermal heat capacity , which means large heat is required to heat the water.

Water is not always pure as it gets contaminated by various pollutants present in the atmosphere such as gases, bacteria and suspended matter.

Water is an amphoteric substance which can act as both acid and base, thus can donate and acept [texH^+[/tex] ions.Thus it is neither an acid nor a base.

HCl+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++Cl^-

Here water is accepting a proton, thus it acts as base.

NH_3+H_2O\rightarrow NH_4^++OH^-

Here water is donating a proton, thus it acts as acid.

Answer:

KNO2, KBr

Explanation:

Chemical compounds are any substance composed of identical molecules consisting of atoms of two or more chemical elements. So NO2 and KBr are compounds, Br2 and Fe are not.
