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

A chemist sets up a chemical reaction but finds that none of the reactant molecules have a required activation energy. What is t
Anvisha [2.4K]

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that the colliding reactant molecules must possess for the formation of products. Lower the activation energy, higher will be chance of formation of products. So activation energy is the minimum energy requirement that has to overcome for the reaction to be completed. Therefore, when in a chemical reaction the reactant molecules do not collide with required activation energy, the collisions will not be fruitful even if they are properly oriented which means that the products will not form.

Hence the correct answer will be B.) no products will be formed

Use the ideal gas law to calculate the concentrations of nitrogen and oxygen present in air at a pressure of 1.0 atm and a tempe
notka56 [123]

Answer:

[N₂] = 0.032 M

[O₂] = 0.0086 M

Explanation:

Ideal Gas Law → P . V = n .  R . T

We assume that the mixture of air occupies a volume of 1 L

78% N₂ → Mole fraction of N₂ = 0.78

21% O₂  → Mole fraction of O₂ = 0.21

1% another gases  → Mole fraction of another gases = 0.01

In a mixture, the total pressure of the system refers to total moles of the mixture

1 atm . 1L = n . 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 298K

n = 1 L.atm / 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 298K → 0.0409 moles

We apply the mole fraction to determine the moles

N₂ moles / Total moles = 0.78 → 0.78 . 0.0409 mol = 0.032 moles N₂

O₂ moles / Total moles = 0.21 → 0.21 . 0.0409 mol = 0.0086 moles O₂

The number of grams per mole of something is known as?​
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Judging from the wording of he question, you mean units. If that is indeed the case, the answer is g/Mol (grams per mol)

Let me know if my interpretation is incorrect and please tell me what you are actually trying to find.
