Answer:

Tricontanyl palmitate: CH₃-(CH₂)₂₉-O-CO-(CH₂)₁₄-CH₃

Explanation:

Beeswax is a tough natural wax which is produced by the worker honey bees. The beeswax is an ester of the long chain fatty acids and alcohols. One of the major components of beeswax is tricontanyl palmitate.

Tricontanyl palmitate is a wax ester that is composed of 16-carbon fatty acid and a 30-carbon alcohol, joined by an ester linkage.

The molecular structure of tricontanyl palmitate is:

CH₃-(CH₂)₂₉-O-CO-(CH₂)₁₄-CH₃

Which of the following should have the highest conductivity? a. 3.0 M NaCl b. 2.1 M Na3PO4 c. 2.4 M CaCl2 d. 3.2 M NH4NO3
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b, that is, 2.1 M Na₃PO₄.

Explanation:

The solution with the largest concentration of ions will possess the highest conductivity.

a) 3.0 M NaCl

NaCl ⇔ Na⁺ + Cl⁻

Here the total number of ions is 2, therefore, the concentration of ions is 3.0 × 2 = 6.0 M

b) 2.1 M Na₃PO₄

Na₃PO₄ ⇔ 3 Na⁺ + PO₄³⁻

Here the total number of ions i 4. Therefore, the concentration of ions is

2.1 × 4 = 8.4 M.

c) 2.4 M CaCl₂

CaCl₂ ⇔ Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

The total number of ions is 3. Therefore, the concentration of ions is

2.4 × 3 = 7.2 M

d) 3.2 M NH₄NO₃

NH₄NO₃ ⇔ NH₄⁺ + NO₃⁻

The total number of ions is 2. The concentration of ions will be,

3.2 × 2 = 6.4 M

Hence, the highest conductivity will be of 2.1 M Na₃PO₄.

What is the total pressure of three gases, if the partial pressures are: 2.67 mmHg, 45.29 mmHg, and 789.6 mmHg
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The total pressure of three gases is 837.56 mmHg.

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure. So, Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone:

PT = PA + PB

This relationship is due to the assumption that there are no attractive forces between the gases.

In this case, the total pressure can be calculated as:

PT= 2.67 mmHg + 45.69 mmHg + 789.6 mmHg

Solving:

PT= 837.56 mmHg

<em><u>The total pressure of three gases is 837.56 mmHg.</u></em>
