Answer:

Explanation:

The scientific method describes the processes by which scientists gain knowledge about the world. It's characterized by six key elements: questions, hypotheses, experiments, observations, analyses, and conclusions. These elements are interrelated steps, so they don't always function in the same order.

Salt in crude oil must be removed before the oil undergoes processing in a refinery. The

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{0.64 \, \%}$

Explanation:

Assume you are using 1 L of water.

Then you are washing 4 L of salty oil.

1. Calculate the mass of the salty oil

Assume the oil has a density of 0.86 g/mL.

$\text{Mass of oil} = \text{4000 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{0.86 g}}{\text{1 mL}} = \text{3440 g}$

2. Calculate the mass of salt in the salty oil

$\text{Mass of salt} = \text{3440 g} \times \dfrac{\text{5 g salt}}{\text{100 g oil}} = \text{172 g salt}$

3. Calculate the mass of salt in the spent water

$\text{Mass of salt} = \text{1000 g water} \times \dfrac{\text{15 g salt}}{\text{100 g water}} = \text{150 g salt}$

4. Mass of salt remaining in washed oil

Mass = 172 g - 150 g = 22 g

5. Concentration of salt in washed oil

$\text{Concentration} = \dfrac{\text{22 g}}{\text{3440 g}} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{0.64 \, \%}\\\\\text{The concentration of salt in the washed oil is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{0.64 \, \%}}$}$

a 25 ml volume of a sodium hydroxide solution requires 19.6 mL of a 0.189 M HCl acid for neutralization. A 10 mL volume of phosp

Drupady [299]

Answer: 0.172 M

Explanation:

a) To calculate theconcentration of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $HCl$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=0.189M\\V_1=19.6mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=?\\V_2=25mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times 0.189\times 19.6=1\times M_2\times 25\\\\M_2=0.148$

b) To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $H_3PO_4$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=3\\M_1=?\\V_1=10mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.148\\V_2=34.9mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3\times M_1\times 10=1\times 0.148\times 34.9\\\\M_1=0.172M$

The concentration of the phosphoric acid solution is 1.172 M

For a tablet containing 500. mg of vitamin C, calculate how many ml of 0.095 M NaOH is required to reach the equivalence point.

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

mL of NaOH required =29.9mL

Explanation:

Let us calculate the moles of vitamin C in the tablet:

The molar mass of Vitamin C is 176.14 g/mole

$moles=\frac{mass}{molarmass}=\frac{500mg}{176.14}=\frac{0.5}{176.14}=0.0028$

Thus we need same number of moles of NaOH to reach the equivalence point.

For NaOH solution:

$moles=MolarityXvolume=0.095Xvolume$

$0.00283=0.095Xvolume$

$volume=0.0299L=29.9mL$

How is fiber important to the body?

ale4655 [162]

Dietary fiber increases the weight and size of your stool and softens it. A bulky stool is easier to pass, decreasing your chance of constipation. If you have loose, watery stools, fiber may help to solidify the stool because it absorbs water and adds bulk to stool. Helps maintain bowel health.
