Placing a suspect at the scene of a crime is an important element in criminal investigation. This can be achieved through the lo

cation of textile fibers similar to those from the victim's clothing or the crime scene on the clothing of the suspect, or through the discovery of fibers like those in the suspect's clothing at the crime scene. A fiber is the smallest unit of a textile material that has a length many times greater than its diameter. Fibers can occur naturally as plant and animal fibers, but they can also be man-made. A crime scene victim is wearing running shorts. There are some fibers on the victim's legs below the shorts. The fibers on the victim's legs dissolved in hydrochloric acid and so did the fibers that made up her running shorts. The fibers are A) cotton. B) nylon. C) silk. D) wool.

Answer:A) cotton

A fiber if available in trace or appropriate amount can link a suspect to a crime.Solubility is a preliminary test performed for identification of the type of fiber. In this method small amount of fiber evidence is dissolved in the suitable solvent to identify it's type. Some fibers completely get solublize in the solvent, some get partially soluble and other can only change their color or do not dissolve at all.

According to the given situation, the fiber dissolved in hydrochloric acid can be cotton. As the fibers of cotton are soft and slender and will get easily solubilize in hydrochloric acid.

g Gaseous ethane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 2.71 g of ethane i
Kamila [148]

Answer:

6.05g

Explanation:

The reaction is given as;

Ethane + oxygen --> Carbon dioxide + water

2C2H6 + 7O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O

From the reaction above;

2 mol of ethane reacts with 7 mol of oxygen.

To proceed, we have to obtain the limiting reagent,

2,71g of ethane;

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass = 2.71 / 30 = 0.0903 mol

3.8g of oxygen;

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass = 3.8 / 16 = 0.2375 mol

If 0.0903 moles of ethane was used, it would require;

2 = 7

0.0903 = x

x = 0.31605 mol of oxygen needed

This means that oxygen is our limiting reagent.

From the reaction,

7 mol of oxygen yields 4 mol of carbon dioxide

0.2375 yields x?

7 = 4

0.2375 = x

x = 0.1357

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass = 0.1357 * 44 = 6.05g
