Answer:

Find the list and explanation below.

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid shortened as HCl is a harmful chemical when not handled properly. Four ways to avoid injury with hydrochloric acid include;

1. Dilution: It is advised to dilute the concentrated hydrochloric acid with a reasonable amount of water so that its corrosive effect can be significantly reduced.

2. Wear a laboratory coat: When working with hydrochloric acid in the laboratory it is always advised to wear a laboratory suit so as to ensure a minimal amount of harm in case of an accident or spillage with the acid.

3. Wear a face shield: It is also important that a face shield is worn while working with the acid to prevent contact with the eyes.

4. Wear a protective rubber glove: The rubber gloves would ensure that there is minimal contact of the acid with the hands.

Three steps to be taken in case of an accidental exposure include;

1. Medical Attention: In serious cases, such as in a case of ingesting the acid, urgent medical help should be sought for immediately.

2. Water: If there is contact with the skin or eye, a lot of water should be used on the affected area, and then medical help obtained.

3. Inhalation of fresh air: In a case whereby the hydrochloric acid was inhaled for a long time, the affected person should try to get some fresh air and if other effects are noticed, urgent medical attention should be gotten.

Dolomite, [CaMg(CO3)2] is found in a soil sample. A geochemist titrates 24.65 g of soil with 57.85 mL of 0.3315M HCl. What is th
pshichka [43]

In order to find out the %mass dolomite in the soil, calculate for the mass of dolomite using the information given from the titration procedure. You would need to multiply 57.85 ml with 0.3315 M HCl and you would get the amount of HCl in millimoles. Then multiply the amount of HCl with 1/2 (given that for every 1 mol of dolomite, 2 mol of HCl would be needed). Convert the amount of dolomite to mass by multiplying the millimoles with the molecular weight which is 184.399. Then convert the mass to grams which is 1.768 grams. Divide the mass of dolomite (1.768 grams) with the weight of soil sample. The % mass is 7.17.

Suppose you are trying to separate three Proteins using Gel-Filtration chromatography. The sizes of each are given below:
Damm [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Protein B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gel-filtration chromatography is a separation technique that is based on the size of the molecules in a compound. It is also known as size-exclusion chromatography in which the eluent (carrier) used is an aqueous solution.

The matrix that is used is a porous material. When the sample is inserted in the column, the smaller particles interact strongly with the matrix than the large ones. Thus, as the eluent is passed through the matrix, larger molecules come out first, and the smallest molecule comes out last.

Given sizes of the proteins:

Protein A: 1200 kDa

Protein B: 2000 kDa

Protein C: 800 kDa

As protein B has the largest size of all the given proteins, it will emerge out first from the column.

Hence, the correct answer is Protein B.

D) does not dissociate in solution.
natima [27]

Answer:

According to the proton theory of acids and bases by J. Brønsted and T. Lowry, the  acid is<u> proton donor</u>.

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted lowry concept an acid is substance that gives protons or hydrogen ion while,

Base is substance that accept hydrogen ion or proton.

Consider the following example:

NH₃ + HCl  →  NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻

In this example HCl is Bronsted lowry acid it gives H⁺ while ammonia is Bronsted lowry base because it accept H⁺.

This also gives the concept of conjugate acid and base. In given example Cl⁻ is conjugate base of HCl while NH₄⁺ is conjugate acid of ammonia.

drek231 [11]

Explanation:

A) particles are close together in random positions with about equal kinetic energy and intermolecular forces.

These points are about liquid state.

B) particles are close together in fixed positions with low kinetic energy

These points satisfy the qualities of Solid state

C)particles are far apart with greater kinetic energy and low intermolecular forces.

The above qualities are for Gaseous state of matter

A) Liquid
