What do molecular clocks have to do with reaction rates?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Akimi4 [234]3 years ago
5 0
The atomic clock is a procedure that uses the change rate of biomolecules to reason the time in ancient times when at least two living things veered. A device utilized by developmental scientists to gauge the rate of speciation utilizing changes in DNA. 
Change in DNA/time = biological rate

What is the theoretical yield of fluorenone if you oxidize 175 mg of fluorene?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

  • 602 mg of CO₂ and 94.8 mg of H₂O

Explanation:

The<em> yield</em> is measured by the amount of each product produced by the reaction.

The chemical formula of <em>fluorene</em> is C₁₃H₁₀, and its molar mass is 166.223 g/mol.

The <em>oxidation</em>, also know as combustion, of this hydrocarbon is represented by the following balanced chemical equation:

        2C_{13}H_{10}+31O_2\rightarrow 26CO_2+10H_2O

To calculate the yield follow these steps:

<u>1. Mole ratio</u>

          2molC_{13}H_{10}:31molO_2:26molCO_2:10molH_2O

<u />

<u>2. Convert 175mg of fluorene to number of moles</u>

  • 175mg/times 1g/1,000mg=0.175g

  • Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • \text{number of moles}=0.175g/166.223g/mol=0.0010528mol

<u>3. Set a proportion for each product of the reaction</u>

a) <u>For CO₂</u>

i) number of moles

         2molC_{10}H_{13}/26molCO_2=0.0010528molC_{10}H{13}/x

x=0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times 26molCO_2/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.013686molCO_2

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01g/mol

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • mass = 0.013686 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 0.602 g = 602mg

b) <u>For H₂O</u>

i) number of moles

0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times10molH_2O/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.00526molH_2O

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.015g/mol

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • mass = 0.00526 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 0.0948mg = 94.8 mg

Which of the following are produced when a base is dissolved in water?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer is: B. Hydroxide ions.

An Arrhenius base is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions (OH⁻).  

For example sodium hydroxide: NaOH(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).

Another example, balanced chemical reaction: Ba(OH)₂(aq) → Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq).

According to the Arrhenius definition barium hydroxide is base.

Acids and bases when react (neutralisation) produce salt and water.

True or false?<br><br> To increase the concentration of a<br> solution, add more solute.
givi [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Increasing the solute would increase the concentration. Increasing the solvent would decrease the concentration. For instance, if your lemonade was too tart, you would add more water to decrease the concentration. If your tea was too bitter, you could add more sugar to increase the sweetness. Changing the amounts of solute and solvent directly effect the concentration of the solution.
