Enter your answer in the provided box. an aqueous solution containing 10 g of an optically pure substance was diluted to 500 ml

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

[α] = -77.5° / $\frac{\textup{dm-g}}{\textup{mL}}$

Explanation:

Given;

Mass of optically pure substance in the solution = 10 g

Volume of water = 500 mL

Length of the polarimeter, l = 20 cm = 20 × 0.1 dm = 2 dm

measured rotation = - 3.10°

Now,

The specific rotation ( [α] ) is given as:

[α] = $\frac{\alpha}{c\times l}$

here,

α is the measured rotation = -3.10°

c is the concentration

c = $\frac{\textup{Mass of optically pure substance in the solution}}{\textup{Volume of water}}$

c = $\frac{10}{500}$

c = 0.02 g/mL

on substituting the values, we get

[α] = $\frac{-3.10^o}{0.02\times2}$

[α] = -77.5° / $\frac{\textup{dm-g}}{\textup{mL}}$

Describe the buffer capacity of the acetic acid buffer solution in relation to the addition of both concentrated and dilute acid

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The answer is in the explanation

Explanation:

Acetic acid, CH₃COOH, is a weak acid that will produce a buffer when its conjugate base, CH₃COO⁻, acetate ion, is added to the solution.

That is because a buffer is the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.

When an acid (HX) is added to the solution, the acetate ion will react producing acetic acid, thus:

CH₃COO⁻ + HX → CH₃COOH + X⁻

For this reason, the pH doesn't change abruptly because H⁺ ions are not produced.

Now, if a base (BOH) is added to the buffer, CH₃COOH will react producing acetate ion and water, thus:

CH₃COOH + BOH → CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O + B⁺.

In the same way, there are not produced free OH⁻ and the pH doesn't change significantly.

Given bh3, o3, co2, and nh3, which of these compound is an exception to the octet rules?.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

a. BH₃

Explanation:

According to the octet rules, atoms reach stability when are surrounded by eight electrons in their valence shell when they combine to form a chemical compound.

From the options, the only compound in which the central atom does not meet the octet rules is BH₃. The central atom is boron (B), which has 3 electrons in its valence shell. When B is combined with hydrogen (H), 3 electrons from the 3 atoms of H are added. The total amount of electrons is 6, fewer than 8 electrons needed to meet the rule.

Give three reasons why fluid spills in water are more damaging than fluid spills on land

marta [7]

Answer:

1) Oil is less dense than water so when oil spills, it spreads across the entire water surface.

2) The oil spreads very quickly with lighter oils such as gasoline.

3) Wind, Currents, and Warm Temperatures will cause Oil to spread quicker.
