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.

A = Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

B = Vacuole

C = Mitochondria (Plural)

D = Nucleolus

E = Cell Wall

Explanation:

This is obviously a plant cell. Animal cells do not have cell walls(E), and most animal cells will not have a vacuole(B). Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: This produces protiens (contains ribosomes) but when looked through a microscope, will appear to be smooth. The vacuole(B) is like a storage for the plant cell, and it helps support the plant cell. This is the reason why plants “droop” when you don’t water them for a long time. Mitochondia (Plural) processes nutrients for the cell. The nucleolus(D) covers the nucleus. It’s main function is to process RNA and combine it with proteins. The cell wall(E) helps support and protect the cell.

Why do we need to standardize EDTA in determination of water hardness?​
bonufazy [111]
Standardized means that a specific amount EDTA is added to a specific volume of distilled water. Water hardness is determined by the the amount of a standard EDTA solution to change the color of the water from red to blue. For example if one added the correct amount of EDTA to twice the volume of distilled water the solution would be weak. Titration of the hard water would give a erroneous high result.

What is the mass of an atom with 15 neutrons and 13 electrons ?
slava [35]
The mass would be 28. The mass of an atom equals the number of neutrons and protons added together. In this case, they do not say the protons. But we must use our inside knowledge to know that the number of protons equals the number of electrons. Thus, your number of protons would be 13

A sample of the compound magnesium oxide is synthesized as follows. 60. g of magnesium is burned and produces 100. g of magnesiu
Inga [223]

Answer:

30 g of magnesium would be combined with 20 g of oxygen. The law used solving this problem is the Lavoisier Law of conservation of mass.

Explanation:

If 60 g of magnesium combines with 40 g of oxygen to make 100 g of magnesium oxide, then 30 g of magnesium will combine with 20 g of oxygen to make 50 g of magnesium oxide.

This happens because in a chemical reaction there is no creation or descruction of atoms, only a rearrangement. Therefore, the mass of reactants should be equal to the mass of products.

The following equation represents the proportions of the substances:

Mg + 1/2O₂ → MgO

If 585.24 Joules of heat are added to 53.2 grams of water at 24.15oC, what will the new temp. be?
spayn [35]
E = mct
Energy = (mass) x (specific heat capacity of water) x (change in temp)

585.24 = 53.2 x 4.2 x (X-24.15)


585.24 divided by 53.2 divided by 4.2 = X - 24.15

2.62 = X - 24.15

X= 26.77degrees C

(Specific heat capacity for water is 4.2 but is different for other liquids)
