The substance is not composed entirely of cocaine, it is mixed with other materials. The purity refers to what percentage of the powder is cocaine, and what percentage is other materials.
Purity can be important in crime investigations to find out the samples value, and to pair it with previously found samples of equal purity to deduce that they came from the same source.

Calculate the [H3O+] of an aqueous solution that is 2.42 × 10−7 M in OH−.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The (H30+) is 4,13x10-8

Explanation:

We use the formula

Kwater = (H30 +) x (OH-)

1.00e-14 = (H30 +) x 2.42e-7

(H30 +) = 1.00e-14 / 2.42e-7 = 4.13e-8M

If he(g) has an average kinetic energy of 8750 j/mol under certain conditions, what is the root mean square speed of cl2(g) mole
saw5 [17]
<span>The root mean square speed is given by V_rms = âšRT/M where r, t, and m are the rate constant, temperature and molar mass the gas Average molar kinetic energy of the gas E = 1/2 M * (V_rms)^2 = 8750 ms/1 So (V_rms)^2 = (2 * 8750) / M Molar mass of 2 chlorine atoms in kg is 2 * 35 * 10^(-3) Hence we have (V_rms)^2 = (2 * 8750)/ (2 * 35 * 10^(-3)) (V_rms)^2 = 8750/0.035 = 250000 So V_rms = âš 250000 = 500</span>

What are the names of the following three compounds (see attached)
balu736 [363]

Answer:

1. 4-ethyl-1-heptene

2. 6-ethyl-2-octene

3. 1-butyne

Explanation:

The compounds are named according to IUPAC rules.

Compound 1:

  • Identify the longest carbon chain. This chain is called the parent chain.
  • Identify all of the substituents (groups appending from the parent chain).
  • The parent chain is numbered so that the multiple bonds have the lowest numbers (double has the priority over alkyl substituents).
  • The longest chain contains 7 carbon atoms, so taken the name hept.
  • The double bond between C1 and C2, so take no. 1 and add the suffix ene to hept "1-heptene".
  • The ethyl group is the alkyl substituent on position 4.
  • So the name is 4-ethyl-1-heptene.

Compound 2:

  • Identify the longest carbon chain. This chain is called the parent chain.
  • Identify all of the substituents (groups appending from the parent chain).
  • The parent chain is numbered so that the multiple bonds have the lowest numbers (double has the priority over alkyl substituents).
  • The longest chain contains 8 carbon atoms, so taken the name oct.
  • The double bond between C2 and C3, so take no. 2 and add the suffix ene to oct "2-octene".
  • The ethyl group is the alkyl substituent on position 6.
  • So the name is 6-ethyl-2-octene.

Compound 3:

  • Identify the longest carbon chain. This chain is called the parent chain.
  • Identify all of the substituents (groups appending from the parent chain), there is no substituents.
  • The parent chain is numbered so that the multiple bonds have the lowest numbers (Triple bond here take the lowest number).
  • The longest chain contains 4 carbon atoms, so taken the name but.
  • The triple bond between C1 and C2, so take no. 1 and add the suffix yne to but "1-butyne".
  • So the name is 1-butyne.
