Sebacic acid (HOOC−(CH2)8−COOH) is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid that is also found as a normal urinary acid. Which pr

ocedure should be followed to determine the amount of sebacic acid present in 200 mg of an unknown sample composed primarily of sebacic acid and a small percentage of neutral impurities?

Answer:

Explanation:

The Sebacic acid has strong hydrocarbon content which make it insoluble in water. Treating the unknown sample with a base for example NaOH will increase the solubility of the Sebacic acid because the carboxylic acid group will react with the base to form soluble ionic salt.  The Sebacic acid is completely dissolved in the base

The resulting solution can be titrated with HCl until there is a color change signifying end of neutralization. The mole of NaOH present before the organic acid is noted, then after titration the mole of the HCl acid is subtracted from the initial mole of the base; this will give the carboxylates present in the solution.

A solution of rubbing alcohol is 68.6 % (v/v) isopropanol in water. How many milliliters of isopropanol are in a 88.2 mL sample
KonstantinChe [14]


From the information given, the total volume of  rubbing alcohol is 88.2 ml

68.6 % of this volume is isopropanol. 

We will assume 88.2 ml represents 100% volume, so the volume of water will be 31.4 %

The volume of isopropanol is

68.6/100 x 88.2 → 0.686 × 88.2 = 60.505 ml

The volume of isopropanol is 60.5 ml.

Volume of water will be 88.20 - 60.5 = 27.7 ml

(27.7 / 88.2 × 100 = 31.4% )

Adding 60.5 ml of isopropanol to 27.7 ml of water to make up 88.2 ml will give 68.6 % v/v isopropanol to water  solution.

Compared to a 0.1 M aqueous solution of NaCl, a 0.8 M aqueous solution of NaCl has a
Fudgin [204]
The correct answer is option 2. A 0.8 M aqueous solution of NaCl has a higher boiling point and a lower freezing point than a 0.1 M aqueous solution of NaCl. This is explained by the colligative properties of solutions. For the two properties mentioned, the equation for the calculation of the depression and the elevation is expressed as: ΔT = -Km and <span>ΔT = Km, respectively. As we can see, concentration and the change in the property has a direct relationship.</span>

Why is it necessary to use models to study submicroscopic objects such as atoms and molecules
Wittaler [7]

A particular reactant decomposes with a half-life of 113 s when its initial concentration is 0.372 M. The same reactant decompos
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Rate constant =  0.0237 M-1 s-1, Order = Second order

Explanation:

In this problem, it can be observed that as the concentration decreases, the half life increases. This means the concentration of the reactant is inversely proportional to the half life.

The order of reaction that exhibit this relationship is the second order of reaction.

In the second order of reaction, the relationship between rate constant and half life is given as;

t1/2 = 1 / k[A]o

Where;

k = rate constant

[A]o = Initial concentration

k = 1 / t1/2 [A]

Uisng the following values;

k = ?

t1/2 = 113

[A]o = 0.372M

k = 1 / (113)(0.372)

k = 1 / 42.036 = 0.0237 M-1 s-1
