Explain how the sodium chloride works as a preservative​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Olegator [25]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Eg:Salt...Essentially, water moves across a cell membrane to try to equalize the salinity or concentration of salt on both sides of the membrane. If you add enough salt, too much water will be removed from a cell for it to stay alive or reproduce. A high concentration of salt kills organisms that decay food and cause disease.

babunello [35]

Answer:

5.0x10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

It seems the question is incomplete, however this is the data that has been found in a web search:

" One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose a EPA chemist tests a 250 mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with nickel(II) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this:

NiCl₂ + 2AgNO₃ →  2AgCl + Ni(NO₃)₂

The chemist adds 50 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 3.6 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of nickel(II) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. "

Keep in mind that while the process is the same, if the values in your question are different, then your answer will be different as well.

First we <u>calculate the moles of nickel chloride found in the 250 mL sample</u>:

  • 3.6 mg AgCl ÷ 143.32 mg/mmol * \frac{1mmolNiCl_{2}}{2mmolAgCl} = 0.0126 mmol NiCl₂

Now we <u>divide the moles by the volume to calculate the molarity</u>:

  • 0.0126 mmol / 250 mL = 5.0x10⁻⁵M

When the procedure calls for making a more dilute solution of an acid, or mixing an acid with other solutions, what is the corre
stiks02 [169]

Explanation:

Whenever we need to make a dilute solution of an acid then it is necessary to add water or non-acidic component into the acid first. This is because addition of water or non-acidic component directly into the acid could be highly exothermic in nature.

As a result, the acid can splutter and can cause burning of skin and other serious damage.

So, in order to avoid such type of damage the addition of water or non-acidic component into the acid actually helps to minimize the heat generated.

Thus, we can conclude that correct order of steps for making a more dilute solution of an acid is that either add all of the water or non-acid component first, or add a significant portion, before adding the acid to the mixture.

What information is needed to determine the energy of an electron in a many-electron atom? a) n. b) l. c) ml. d)ms
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The correct answer is b.

Explanation:

The quantum number n specifies the energetic level of the orbital, the first level being the one with the least energy. As n increases, the probability of finding the electron near the nucleus decreases and the orbital energy increases.

In the case of atoms with more than one electron, the quantum number l also determines the sublevel of energy in which an orbital is found, within a certain energy level. The value of l is designated by the letters s, p, d, and f.

Have a nice day!

Why do you think different liquids have different freezing points
Ganezh [65]
I think that different liquids have different freezing points because every liquid consists of different atoms and different things that make up the atom causing them to have different freezing points.
