Material from an environmental study was suspected to contain the banned pesticide, Aldrin, of which you have a pure sample. Gas

chromatography showed 6 peaks. How would you determine unequivocally which of these peaks represented Aldrin?

Answer:

In order  to determine unequivocally which of the peaks represent Aldrin, I would run the pure sample through the chromatography equipment.

Explanation:

Gas chromatography is a technique that separates molecules based on their volatility and interaction with both the stationary phase.

The peaks on the chromatogram show how long a substance took to leave the column. Since each different substance substance will leave the column at a different time, each peak can be attributed to a substance.

Therefore, to know which of the 6 peaks represent Aldrin, it is necessary to run the pure Aldrin in the chromatography equipment and see the time of the peak. Then you just need to compare both chromatograms and indentify Aldrin.

1. An oxide of chromium is found to have the following % composition: 68.4% Cr
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Empirical formula is Cr₂O₃.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of Cr = 68.4%

Percentage of O = 31.6%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Cr = 68.4 / 52 = 1.3 2

Number of gram atoms of O = 31.6 / 16 = 1.98

Atomic ratio:

                            Cr               :         O

                           1.32/1.32     :       1.98/1.32

                               1              :        1.5

Cr : O = 1 :  1.5

Cr : O = 2(1 : 1.5)

Empirical formula is Cr₂O₃.

Please answer ASAP!!
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

C.0.28 V  

Explanation:

Using the standard cell potential we can find the standard cell potential for a voltaic cell as follows:

The most positive potential is the potential that will be more easily reduced. The other reaction will be the oxidized one. That means for the reactions:

Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu E° = 0.52V

Ag⁺ + 1e⁻ → Ag E° = 0.80V

As the Cu will be oxidized:

Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻

The cell potential is:

E°Cell = E°cathode(reduced) - E°cathode(oxidized)

E°cell = 0.80V - (0.52V)

E°cell = 1.32V

Right answer is:

<h3>C.0.28 V </h3>

Look at the rock sitting on the hill in the picture above. Gravity should make the rock slide down the hill. What force is actin
nexus9112 [7]

I believe the answer you are looking for is Static Friction. Static Friction is the force that holds an object in place until it starts to move. Then it switches to rolling friction.

For example, if you have a 1/2 ton truck sitting in front of you and the truck is in neutral. (meaning it can roll if pushed). The truck is extremely hard to move at first. That is because static friction is holding it in place until the amount of force exceeds the limit of static friction.

So if we continue to push at the truck and you feel it starting to move, then once it starts moving it is much easier to push, that is because we moved past static friction to rolling friction. Rolling friction is what helps slow things down. If you roll a ball across a carpet floor it eventually comes to a stop.
