Note that butane has two possible isomers but that decane has 75 possible isomers. Why does the number of possible isomers go up

with an increasing number of carbon atoms?
Chemistry

Because the number of constitutional, conformational, and geometric isomers goes up with each carbon atom added. There are many more possible configurations and connectivities possible with decane, a 10 carbon chain, than with butane, a 4 carbon chain.

Sliva [168]

Answer:

7.1

Explanation:

equation to calculate pH is

pH=-Log_{10}(a_{H^+})=-Log_{10}(8*10^-8) = -Log_{10}(8)-Log_{10}(10^{-8})=-0.9+8=7.1

In addition to not causing damage to the sample, what is another advantage of using a microspectrophotometer to analyze fibers?
Tems11 [23]

Another advantage of advantage of using a microspectrophotometer to analyze fibers asides not causing damage to the sample is that the sample can be quite small.

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

Microspectrophotometry is a biological technique used to measure the absorption or transmission spectrum of a solid or liquid material in either transmitted or reflected light.

Microspectrophotometry can also measure the emission of light by a sample, which is usually small as the micro implies.

One advantage of microspectrophotometry is that the sample does not get damaged. However,

Which activity performed by a chemist is primarily based on an understanding of physics?
Hatshy [7]
Physical science, is the study of the composition, structure, properties and change of matter.[1][2] Chemistry is chiefly concerned with atoms and their interactions with other atoms - for example, [ the properties of the chemical bonds formed between atoms to create chemical compounds. As well as this, interactions including atoms and other phenomena - electrons and various forms of energy—are

Could volume by displacement be used to determine the volume of a lump of rock salt? Explain would be nice
Readme [11.4K]

Yes it could, but you'd have to set up the process very carefully.
I see two major challenges right away:

1).  Displacement of water would not be a wise method, since rock salt
is soluble (dissolves) in water.  So as soon as you start lowering it into
your graduated cylinder full of water, its volume would immediately start
to decrease.  If you lowered it slowly enough, you might even measure
a volume close to zero, and when you pulled the string back out of the
water, there might be nothing left on the end of it.

So you would have to choose some other fluid besides water ... one in
which rock salt doesn't dissolve.  I don't know right now what that could
be.  You'd have to shop around and find one.

2).  Whatever fluid you did choose, it would also have to be less dense
than rock salt.  If it's more dense, then the rock salt just floats in it, and
never goes all the way under.  If that happens, then you have a tough
time measuring the total volume of the lump.

So the displacement method could perhaps be used, in principle, but
it would not be easy.
