Why do different substances have different Odors?

Chemistry
1 answer:
mixer [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Substances generate a smell when their molecules land on so-called olfactory neurones in our noses (which, for some things, is a pretty unpleasant thought). ... But this fails to explain why some molecules with similar shapes can smell completely different, while others with quite different shapes can have a similar scent.

Explanation:

I took chemistry

The unit "troy ounce" is often used for precious metals such as gold (Au) and platinum (Pt) (1 troy ounce= 31.103 g). (a) A gold
frez [133]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) 1 troy ounce is equal to 31.103 g

2.41 troy ounce is equal to 2.41 x 31.103 g

= 74.958 g

b) 1  ounce = 1 / 16 lb = 1/16 x 453.6 g = 28.35 g.

1 troy ounce = 31.103 g

so 1 troy ounce is heavier than 1 ounce.

A gas with a pressure of 2.25 atm occupies 450.0 mL at a temperature of 300 K. What is the volume at 405.0 K?
Aneli [31]

The volume of the gas at a temperature of 405.0 K would be 607.5 mL. Making option D the right answer to the question.

What is the volume of the gas?

To find the volume of the gas, the equation to be used would have to be combine gas law.

Combine gas law as the name suggest uses the combination of Charles law which measures Volume against temperature, and Gay-Lussac's law which measures Pressure/Temperature, and Boyle's law  which measures pressure X volume where k is constant.

Using the combine law to find the volume, we have:

P₁V₁/T₁=P₂V₂/T₂

Where P₁ = initial pressure

           V₁ = initial volume

             T₁ = initial temperature

            P₂ = final  pressure

            V₂ = final  volume

            T₂ = final  temperature

P₁ = 2.25atm

V₁ = 450.0 mL

T₁ = 300 K

T₂ = 405.0 K

V₂ = ?

D) 607.5 mL

= [2.25(450)]÷300=[2.25(V₂]÷405

Making  V₂ the subject

 3.375=2.25 V₂ ÷ 405

V₂ = 3.375 x 405 ÷ 2.25

V₂ = 607.5 mL

In summary, a gas with an initial pressure of 2.25atm, an initial pressure of 450.0 mL and an initial temperature of 300 K would have a final volume of 607.5 mL if the temperature is increased to  405.0 K.

At a given temperature the vapor pressure of pure liquid benzene and toluene are 745 torr and 290 torr, respectively. A solution
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Vapour pressure of benzene over the solution is 253 torr

Explanation:

According to Raoult's law for a mixture of two liquid component A and B-

vapour pressure of a component (A) in solution = x_{A}\times P_{A}^{0}

vapour pressure of a component (B) in solution = x_{B}\times P_{B}^{0}

Where x_{A},x_{B} are mole fraction of component A and B in solution respectively

P_{A}^{0},P_{B}^{0} are vapour pressure of pure A and pure B respectively

Here mole fraction of benzene in solution is 0.340 and vapour pressure of pure benzene is 745 torr

So, vapour pressure of benzene in solution = 0.340\times 745 torr

                                                                         = 253 torr
