How can you tell that a white powder is salt without tasting it?

1 answer:

7 0

You can detect salt in water without tasting by measuring the density of the water. Place a glass of spring water and a glass of the suspected salt water on a balance scale and the heavier one contains salt. Other ways to test for salt in water is to put a drop of water on the end of a nail and place in a gas flame. If the water contains salt, the flame will turn a yellow/orange color.

7. The root structures on peanut plants that restore soil nutrients and fix nitrogen

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Like other legumes, peanut plants improve the soil by adding nitrogen, even as they grow tasty, nutritious nuts for this season's harvest. But peanuts need help as they take nitrogen from the air and "fix" it into the soil via their root systems.

Suppose a student titrates a 10.00-ml aliquot of saturated ca(oh)2 solution to the equivalence point with 16.08 ml of 0.0199 m h

Alborosie

Following chemical reaction is involved upon titration of Ca(OH)2 with HCl,
Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl ↔ CaCL2 + 2H2O

Above is an example of acid-base titration to generate salt and water. Here, H+ ions of acid (HCl) combines with OH- (ions) of base [Ca(OH)2] to generated H2O

Given,
concentration of HCl = 0.0199 M
Total volume of HCl consumed during titration = 16.08 mL = 16.08 X 10^(-3) L

∴, number of moles of H+ consumed = Molarity X Vol. of HCl (in L)
= 0.0199 X 16.08 X 10^(-3)
= 3.1999 X 10^-4 mol
Thus, total number of moles of [OH-] ions present initial = 3.1999 X 10-4 mol
So, initial conc. [OH-] ion = $\frac{number of moles of [OH-]}{volume of solution (L)}$ = $\frac{3.1999 X 10^(^-^4^)}{10 X 10^(^-^3^)}$ = 0.03199 M

The pK1, pK2, and pKR of the amino acid lysine are 2.2, 9.1, and 10.5, respectively. The pK1, pK2, and pKR of the amino acid arg

Answer:

pH 9,8 is likely to work best for this separation

Explanation:

Ion exchange chromatography is a chemical process where molecules are separated by affinity to an ion exchange resin. To separate different aminoacids you must use the isoelectric point (That is the pH where the aminoacid will be in its neutral form).

For lysine, PI is:

$pH = \frac{1}{2} (9,1+10,5) =$ 9,8

For arginine:

$pH = \frac{1}{2} (9,0+12,5) =$ 10,75

At pH = 9,8 lysine will be in its neutral form and will not be retain in the column but arginine will be in +1 charge being retained by the ion exchange resin.

Thus, <em>pH 9,8 is likely to work best for this separation</em>

I hope it helps!

To a 0.0001 m solution of mg(no3)2, naoh was added to a final concentration of 0.001m did a precipitate form?

Natalija [7]

I looked on a solubility chart to answer this question, and hydroxides are generally insoluble (with some exceptions of course). However, it says to consider $Mg(OH)_{2}$ as an insoluble substance, though it may be moderately soluble.

The answer that you are most likely looking for is: Yes, a precipitate does form - this is due to the double placement reaction:

$Mg(NO_{3})_{2}_{(aq)}$ + $2NaOH_{(aq)}$ → $Mg(OH)_{2} {(s)}$ + $2NaNO_{3}_{(aq)}$
