Inches of mercury (inHg) is commonly used as unit of atmospheric pressure. It indicates the height of Hg (in inch) that atmosphe

ric pressure can support. If atmospheric pressure is 27.6 inHg, what is it in atm? Use decimals (not scientific notation) and 3 sig figs when entering your answer. Given: 1 in = 2.54 cm = 25.4 mm; 1 atm = 760 mmHg.

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.92 atm

Explanation:

Data

Atmospheric pressure = 27.6 inHg

Atmospheric pressure = ? atm

Process

1.- Convert inHg to cmHg

                      1 in Hg ------------------- 2.54 cm

                    27.6 inHg ----------------- x

                     x = (27.6x 2.54) / 1

                     x = 70.1 cm

2.- Convert cmHg to mmHg

                     2.54 cm ----------------- 25.4 mmHg

                      70.1 cm ----------------  x

                      x = (70.1 x 25.4)/2.54

                      x = 701 mmHg

3.- Convert mmHg to atm

                      760 mmHg ------------- 1 atm

                      701 mmHg  -------------  x

                       x = (701 x 1)/760

                       x = 0.922 atm

As part of a science experiment, Jose did a test for starch on a slice of apple and a slice of potato. The yellow-orange iodine
juin [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Iodine solution is used to test for starch.  A positive test for starch gives a blue-black color.

The fact that the color of the apple remained the same is indicative of the fact that starch was not contained in the apple.

A change in the color of potato indicates the presence of starch in the potato.

The fact that iodine did not react with apple should not be taken to mean that apples contain no starch at all. Starch changes gradually to sugar as fruits ripen. This is why the apple gave a negative test for starch.

Which of the following will be most soluble in octane?
natima [27]

Answer:

CH3CH3CH2CH3

Explanation:

Octane is a non-polar compound. It is a hydrocarbon with 8-carbon length along its chain.

It belongs to a special group of hydrocarbons called alkanes.

What makes a substance soluble in another?

   It is a common phrase that  "like dissolves like". This is applicable to solubility of substances in another.

  • A polar solvent will freely and easily dissolve a polar solute. For example, water and salt.
  • A non-polar solvent will also dissolve a non-polar solute. This case, hydrocarbons will dissolve themselves.
  • The first option is a butane, a 4-carbon length hydrocarbon which will be dissolved in octane.
  • Both compounds are non-polar.
