Crime scene investigators keep a wide variety of compounds on hand to help with identifying unknown substances they find in the

course of their duties. One such investigator, while reorganizing their shelves, has mixed up several small vials and is unsure about the identity of a certain powder. Elemental analysis of the compound reveals that it is 63.57% carbon, 6.000% hydrogen, 9.267% nitrogen, 21.17% oxygen by mass. Which of the following compounds could the powder be?
a.) C11H15NO2 = 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), illicit drug

b.) C3H6NO3 = hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD), commonly used explosive

c.) C21H23NO5 = heroin, illicit drug

d.) C8H9NO2 = acetaminophen, analgesic

e.) C7H5N3O6 = 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), common used explosive

f.) C17H19NO3 = morphine, analgesic

g.)C10H15N = methamphetamine, stimulant

h.) C4H5N2O = caffeine, stimulant

Answer:

Option d: C₈H₉NO₂ = acetaminophen, analgesic

Explanation:

% composition of compound is:

63.57 g of C

6 g of H

9.267 g of N

21.17 g of O

First of all we divide each by the molar mass of the element

63.57 g / 12 gmol = 5.29 mol of C

6 g of H / 1 g/mol = 6 mol H

9.267 g of N / 14 g/mol =  0.662 mol of N

21.17 g of O / 16 g/mol = 1.32 mol of O

We divide each by the lowest value, in this case 0.662

5.29 / 0.662 = 8

6 / 0.662 = 9

0.662 / 0.662 = 1

1.32 / 0.662 = 2

Molecular formula of the compound is C₈H₉NO₂

How is a battery and a banana the same when considering energy?
emmainna [20.7K]

A battery and a banana are the same when considering energy:

A battery when connected to a device produces electro-chemical reactions and contains one or more cells. The same thing can be tried out with fruits also. There are many fruits which can be taken into account. A lemon shows less amount of voltage when seen through a multimeter rather than a banana which shows a higher voltage. This was because of the acid present in the a fully ripped banana. The acid is called ascorbic acid. This acid has a higher pH level than compared to the pH of the citric acid found in lemon.  

This shows that a banana plant is not so expensive and reliable for the production of renewable energy and a battery is also inexpensive, reliable and stable.

Additional solute is added to a saturated solution of a solid and a liquid after being heated above room temperature. Once no mo
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

After the solution is heated, but before additional solute is added

Explanation:

An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less solute than it can normally hold at a given temperature. Hence an unsaturated solution can still dissolve more solute.

When the solution is heated, the saturated cold solution becomes an unsaturated hot solution which is capable of dissolving more solute at this point.

Once more solute is dissolved, the solution becomes saturated again just before it begins to cool since no more solute dissolves in the solution at some point before cooling and addition of seed crystals.
