Answer : The amount of codeine in one teaspoonful is, 30 mg

Explanation : Given,

Amount of codeine per fluid ounce = 60 mg

Now we have to determine the amount of codeine present in one teaspoonful.

As we know that:

1 teaspoonful = 0.5 fluid ounce

As, the amount of codeine per fluid ounce = 60 mg

So, the amount of codeine 0.5 fluid ounce = $\frac{0.5}{1}\times 60mg=30mg$

Thus, the amount of codeine in one teaspoonful is, 30 mg

Rudik [331]

Answer:

P₂ = 1312.88 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial temperature = 25°C

Initial pressure = 1250 atm

Final temperature = 40°C

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

Initial temperature = 25°C (25+273.15 = 298.15 K)

Final temperature = 40°C ( 40+273.15 = 313.15 k)

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Now we will put the values in formula:

1250 atm / 298.15 K = P₂/313.15 K

P₂ = 1250 atm × 313.15 K / 298.15 K

P₂ = 391437.5 atm. K /298.15 K

P₂ = 1312.88 atm

Ocean currents determine the various directions of wind movement.

<h3>What is ocean current?</h3>

Ocean currents are caused by differences in density as well as the temperature of the moving winds across the ocean. In the ocean, warm water is found at the top while cooler water occurs far below.

Warm ocean currents originate near the equator and move towards the poles. The ocean currents control the direction of winds in an area.

Which is the most polar bond?<br><br> a. H-Se <br> b. P-Br <br> c. N-I <br> d. No right answer.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: b. P - Br

Explanation:

Difference of electronegativities from the periodic table. The one with the highest electronegativity will be the most polar.

H = 2.2

Se = 2.55

Electronegativity = 2.55 - 2.2 = 0.35

P = 2.19

Br = 2.96

Electronegativity = 2.96 - 2.19 = 0.77

N = 3.04

I = 2.66

Electronegativity = 3.04 - 2.66 = 0.38

Answer: The molecular formula will be $C_2H_4O_2$

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C = 40.0 g

Mass of O = 53.3 g

Mass of H = 6.66 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{40.0g}{12g/mole}=3.33moles$

Moles of O = $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{53.3g}{16g/mole}=3.33moles$

Moles of H = $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{6.66g}{1g/mole}=6.66moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{3.33}{3.33}=1$

For O = $\frac{3.33}{3.33}=1$

For H = $\frac{6.66}{3.33}=2$

The ratio of C : O : H = 1: 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is $COH_2$

The empirical weight of $COH_2$ = 1(12)+1(16)+2(1)= 30g.

The molecular weight = 60 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{60}{30}=2$

The molecular formula will be= $2\times CH_2O=C_2H_4O_2$
