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.

Acteria and archaea fix nitrogen (n2) by reducing it to ammonia (nh3), the form of nitrogen assimilated by plants. the main rese
jenyasd209 [6]

The correct answer for this question is the atmosphere.

The transformation of atmospheric N2 into NH3, which is a form that plants may use, is known as biological nitrogen fixation. However, eukaryotes do not engage in the process; it is exclusive to bacteria and archaea.

It has long been recognized that some archaea can contribute to the nitrogen cycling processes (albeit some of these organisms were not initially recognized as archaea). These included both assimilatory and dissimilatory activities, such as the fixing of atmospheric nitrogen. However, rather than large terrestrial or aquatic environments, these reactions were linked to extremophilic archaea that are generally found in 'exotic' habitats like hot springs or salt-saturated lakes.

Lithium, sodium and potassium are all in group 1 of the periodic table. Which of these has the lowest boiling point?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Potassium

Explanation:

In group one of the periodic table both the melting and the boiling points usually decrease down the group.

Now, down the group, it's lithium that comes first, then sodium, then potassium.

Thus, among the 3, potassium is furthermost down the group by virtue of the factor it has the highest atomic number.

Therefore, we can say that potassium has the lowest boiling point among the 3.

Predict the aldol product when the following ketone undergoes self-condensation in the presence of NaOH. Do not show the dehydra
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

β-hydroxyaldehyde (an aldol) namely 3-Hydroxy butanal.

Explanation:

When acetaldehyde is treated with dil.NaOH it undergoes self condensation as it contains alpha-hydrogen atom in its compound forming β-hydroxyaldehyde (an aldol) namely 3-Hydroxy butanal. This compound upon further heating will eliminate a molecule of water forming aldol condensation product namely Crotonaldehyde Or But-2-en-al. see the diagram attached.
