Which type of allergy test, also called a subcutaneous test, introduces dilute solutions of allergens into the skin of the inner
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The type of allergy test is scratch test.

Explanation:

In a scratch test also called a skin pri c k test or puncture test, an allergy provoking substance placed on the skin is gradually scratched  into the skin surface with the aid of a needle or lancet so as to detect bodily reactions to allergens. Some of the types allergens whose reactions are generally tested for include pollen, dust mites, molds and foods.

The scratch test takes about 5 to 10 minutes and it could cause slight pain and the may  result in itching feeling at the location where the allergen was introduced.

What is the energy of a photon of violet light with a frequency of 7.57x10^14 s^-1?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

ΔE = 5.02 x 10⁻¹⁹ j

Explanation:

ΔE (photon) = h·f = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ j·s)(7.57 x 10¹⁴ s⁻¹) = 5.02 x 10⁻¹⁹ j

h = Planck's Constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ j·s

f = frequency (given) = 7.57 x 10¹⁴ s⁻¹

s the purpose of the CaCl2 drying tube? What chemical reaction is it preventing (please supply a mechanism).
monitta

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A drying tube prevents moisture from contaminating the reactants. The drying tube contains CaCl2 a hygroscopic material whose function is to absorb the moisture so that it does not react with the Grignard reagent. Without the desiccating action of CaCl2, moisture will enter the reaction chamber,contaminating the reactants.

If water reacts with the Grignard reagent, an alkane is formed. The mechanism of this reaction is shown in the image attached. R here represents the alkyl moiety of the Grignard reagent.

Consider the following reaction: 2CH3OH(g)  2CH4(g) + O2(g) ΔH = +252.8 kJ a) Calculate the amount of heat transferred when 24.
denpristay [2]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The amount of heat transferred for the given amount of methanol is 94.6736 kJ.

<u>For b:</u> The mass of methane gas produced will be 10.384 g.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical reaction:

2CH_3OH(g)\rightarrow 2CH_4(g)+O_2(g);\Delta H=+252.8kJ

  • <u>For a:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} ......(1)

Given mass of methanol = 24.0 g

Molar mass of methanol = 32.04 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of methanol}=\frac{24.0g}{32.04g/mol}=0.749mol

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

For every 2 moles of methanol, the amount of heat transferred is +252.8 kJ.

So, for every 0.749 moles of methanol, the amount of heat transferred will be = \frac{252.8}{2}\times 0.749=94.6736kJ

Hence, the amount of heat transferred for the given amount of methanol is 94.6736 kJ.

  • <u>For b:</u>

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

252.8 kJ of energy is absorbed when 2 moles of methane gas is produced.

So, 82.1 kJ of energy will be absorbed when = \frac{2}{252.8}\times 82.1=0.649mol of methane gas is produced.

Now, calculating the mass of methane gas from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of methane gas = 16 g/mol

Moles of methane gas = 0.649 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.649mol=\frac{\text{Mass of methane gas}}{16g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of methane}=10.384g

Hence, the mass of methane gas produced will be 10.384 g.
