n the laboratory, two forms of sodium phosphate will be available (the monobasic monohydrate NaH2PO4·H2O, F.W. = 137.99 g/mol, a

nd the dibasic Na2HPO4, F.W. = 141.96 g/mol). Explain the most efficient way of making this phosphate buffer by using only one of the compounds, and specify which compound you will use.

Answer:

The compound you will use is the Dibasic phosphate

Explanation:

Simple phosphate buffer is used ubiquitously in biological experiments, as it can be adapted to a variety of pH levels, including isotonic. This wide range is due to phosphoric acid having 3 dissociation constants, (known in chemistry as a triprotic acid) allowing for formulation of buffers near each of the pH levels of 2.15, 6.86, or 12.32. Phosphate buffer is highly water soluble and has a high buffering capacity,

In this case the most efficient way is to disolve the dibasic compound which in the reaction with the water will form the monobasic phosphate.

To make the buffer you have to prepare the amount of distillate water needed, disolve the dibasic phospate, and then adjust with HCl or NaOH depending on the pH needed.

A plant extract can be obtained with organic solvents such as acetone or ethyl alcohol, and is composed of plant pigments such a
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

A plant extract is a mixture because it contains different substances: acetone or ethanol, chlorophylls A and B, carotene and xanthophylls.

It is homogeneous because it is a solution. There is only one phase: the liquid phase. You cannot see the pigments as separate phases.

You can separate the pigments by paper, thin layer, or column chromatography.

Many schools use paper chromatography, because paper is cheap.

As the mixture of pigments follows the solvent up the paper, they separate into different coloured bands according to their attractive forces to the cellulose in the paper.

The chlorophylls are strongly attracted to the paper, so they don't travel very far.

The nonpolar carotene molecules have little attraction to the polar cellulose, so they are carried along by the solvent front.

Which type(s) of matter would need to be separated by chemical methods?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

solids, liquids, gases, or plasma

Explanation:

In chemistry, a chemical substance is a form of matter that has constant chemical composition and characteristic properties. It cannot be separated into components without breaking chemical bonds. Chemical substances can be solids, liquids, gases, or plasma

A microwave operates at 7.42 mm wavelength. How much energy is produced in Joules from 359 photons?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

E=9.62\times 10^{-21}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of a microwave is 7.42 mm or 0.00742 m

No. of photons, n = 359

We need to find the energy produced by this no of photons. It can be given by the formula as follows :

E=\dfrac{nhc}{\lambda}\\\\E=\dfrac{359\times 6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{0.00742}\\\\=9.62\times 10^{-21}\ J

or

E=9.62e^{-21}\ J

So, the required energy is 9.62\times 10^{-21}\ J.

What is the maximum amount of HCl, in grams, that can be produced if 37.5 g of BCl3 and 60.0 g of H2O are reacted according to t
Rus_ich [418]
Ooooh boy alright. So, this may or may not be a limited reactant problem so we need to first find out of it is.

First, how many moles of each substance are there

the molar mass of BCl3 is <span>117.17 grams so 37.5 g / 117.17 is ~ .32 mol.
The molar mass of H2O is 18.02 so 60 / 18.02 is ~ 3.33 mol.

Now, for every 1 mole of BCl3, there are 3 moles of HCl created. Therefore, BCl3 can create ~ .96 moles.
For every 3 moles of H2O, there are 3 moles of HCl created. Therefore, HCl can create ~3.33 moles.

But, there is not enough BCl3 to support that 3.33 moles, only enough for .96 moles, therefore BCl3 is the limiting reactant. Now, to answer the question, simply multiply .96 moles by the molar mass of HCl.

.96 x 36.46 = ~35 g</span>
