An organic compound was extracted into dichloromethane and then the aqueous layer is shaken with saturated sodium chloride solut

ion. What is the purpose of the sodium chloride? A. to decrease the solubility of the organic product in water B. to raise the density of the aqueous layer so that it will be the bottom layer C. to lower the boiling point of the water to cause the water D. to be immiscible with the methylene chloride

Answer: option A. to decrease the solubility of the organic product in water

Explanation: sodium chloride solution act as a drying agent to remove water from an organic compound that is in solution. The salt water works to pull the water from the organic layer to the water layer,therby decreasing

A gas mixture is composed of three different gases. The first gas in the mixture has a pressure of 0.35 atm. The second gas in t
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

1.20atm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Partial pressure of gas 1 = 0.35atm

Partial pressure of gas 2  = 0.20atm

Partial pressure of gas 3  = 0.65atm

Unknown:

Total pressure of the gas mixture = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to recall and understand the Dalton's law of partial pressure.

Dalton's law of partial pressure states that "the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of the constituent gases".

    Total pressure  =Pressure of gas(1 + 2 + 3)

The partial pressure is the pressure a gas would exert if it alone occupied the volume of the gas mixture.

     

Now we substitute;

      Total pressure  = (0.35 + 0.20 + 0.65)atm  = 1.20atm

Four acids are analyzed and their Ka values are determined. Which of the following values represents the strongest acid?
labwork [276]
Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly. 

The acid dissociation constant, Ka, is an equilibrium constant that measure the strength of an acid. It is a ratio of the concentration of the products (salt and water) and the reactants (acid). The higher the Ka, the more tendency it is to favor the product side, which means more tendency to donate H+ ions. This is exactly the definition of a strong acid (high H+ ionized).

Thus, the answer is letter D.
