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

What is the percent composition by mass of oxygen in Ca(NO3)2 (gram-formula= 164 g/mol)?
Neko [114]
To find this, we will use this formula:

Molar mass of element
------------------------------------ x 100
Molar mass of compound

So, first lets calculate the mass of the compound as a whole. We use the atomic masses on the periodic table to determine this.

Ca: 40.078 g/mol
N2 (there is two nitrogens): 28.014 g/mol
O6 (there are six nitrogens: 3 times 2): 95.994 g/mol

When we add all of those numbers up together, we get 164.086. That is the molar mass for the whole compound. However, we are trying to figure out what percent of the compound oxygen makes up. From the molar mass, we know that 95.994 of the 164.086 is oxygen. Lets plug those numbers into our equation!

95.994
-----------
164.086

When we divide those two numbers, we get .585. When we multiply that by 100, we get 58.5.

So, the percent compostition of oxygen in Ca(NO3)2, or, calcium nitrate, is 58.5%.

What is the polarity of black pepper
leva [86]

Answer:

Polarity in chemistry referred to physical properties of compounds related to solubility, melting and boiling properties.

Polarity of black pepper can be seen when black pepper is sprinkled on water. The balck pepper float on water and get displaced if touched.

It means black pepper is non-polar and have no difference in electronegativity between bonded atoms. Black pepper is so light in weight and non-polar, the surface tension of water keep it floating in the water.
