Answer:

Option B, Production of clothing items makes pollutants that contaminate the water.

Explanation:

Clothes manufacturing is a commercial activity. Most of the clothes, now days are made up of synthetic fibers and hence are non-degradable under normal scenarios.

Textile and fabric industries use lot of water for washing and dyeing which ultimately is disposed of as waste water into the nearby water bodies. This leads to water pollution.

Hence, option B is correct

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The given compound cannot be cocaine.

Explanation:

The chemist can comment on the nature of compound being cocaine or not from the depression in freezing point.

Depression in freezing point of is related to molality as:

Depression in freezing point = Kf X molality

Where

Kf = cryoscopic constant = 4.90°C/m

depression in freezing point = normal freezing point - freezing point of solution

depression in freezing point = 5.5-3.9 = 1.6°C

1.6°C = 4.90 X molality

$molality=\frac{1.6}{4.90} = 0.327 m$

we know that:

$molality=\frac{moles}{mass of solvent(kg)}=\frac{moles}{0.008kg}$

therefore

moles = 0.327X0.008 = 0.00261 mol

$moles=\frac{mass}{molarmass}$

$molarmass=\frac{mass}{moles}=\frac{0.50}{0.00261}= 191.57g/mol$

The molar mass of cocaine is 303.353

So the given compound cannot be cocaine.

How many xenon atoms are contained in 1.00 moles of xenon?

joja [24]

Answer:

6.022 x 10²³

Explanation:

The number of atoms = the number of moles x with the Avogadro's number.

(The Avogadro's number is 6.022 x 10²³ atoms / moles)

number of atoms = 1.00 moles x 6.022 x 10²³ atoms / mole

number of atoms = 6.022 x 10²³ atoms

(There is no need to simplify?) = 6.022 x 10²³

Ladybugs eat aphids on plants. Ajoy counts the number of ladybugs in one square meter of his garden.

kirza4 [7]

To estimate the number of ladybugs in the entire garden, Ajoy needs the dimension of the garden.

<h3>What is a dimension?</h3>

Dimensions in mathematics are the measure of the size or distance of an object or region or space in one direction.

Dimensional measurement is of fundamental importance for interchangeability and global trade.

Hence, to estimate the number of ladybugs in the entire garden, Ajoy needs the dimension of the garden.

The molar mass is determined by measuring the freezing point depression of an aqueous solution. A freezing point of -5.20°C is r

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The empirical formula is C2H4O3

The molecular formula is C4H8O6

The molar mass is 152 g/mol

Explanation:

The complete question is: An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion analysis of the compound gives mass percents of 31.57% C and 5.30% H. The molar mass is determined by measuring the freezing-point depression of an aqueous solution. A freezing point of -5.20°C is recorded for a solution made by dissolving 10.56 g of the compound in 25.0 g water. Determine the empirical formula, molar mass, and molecular formula of the compound. Assume that the compound is a nonelectrolyte.

Step 1: Data given

Mass % of Carbon = 31.57 %

Mass % of H = 5.30 %

Freezing point = -5.20 °C

10.56 grams of the compound dissolved in 25.0 grams of water

Kf water = 1.86 °C kg/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of Carbon

Suppose 31.57% = 31.57 grams

moles C = mass C / Molar mass C

moles C = 31.57 grams / 12.0 g/mol = 2.63 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of Hydrogen:

Moles H = 5.30 grams / 1.01 g/mol

moles H = 5.25 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of Oxygen

Moles O = ( 100 - 31.57 - 5.30) / 16 g/mol

Moles O = 3.95 moles

Step 5: We divide by the smallest number of moles

C: 2.63 / 2.63 = 1 → 2

H: 5.25/2.63 = 2 → 4

O: 3.95/ 2.63 = 1.5 → 3

The empirical formula is C2H4O3

The molar mass of the empirical formula = 76 g/mol

Step 6: Calculate moles solute

Freezing point depression = 5.20 °C = m * 1.86

m = 5.20 / 1.86

m = 2.80 molal = 2.80 moles / kg

2.80 molal * 0.025 kg = 0.07 moles

Step 7: Calculate molar mass

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass = 10.56 grams / 0.07 moles

Molar mass = 151 g/mol

Step 8: Calculate molecular formula

151 / 76 ≈ 2

We have to multiply the empirical formula by 2

2*(C2H4O3) = C4H8O6

The molecular formula is C4H8O6

The molar mass is 152 g/mol
