Retinol is vitamin A and one of the components in multivitamin tablets. A 103.0 mg sample of retinol was dissolved in 1.000 g of

chloroform (Kb = 3.630°C/m), increasing the boiling point of chloroform by 1.305°C.

The formula for boiling point elevation is:
deltaT = (Kb)(m), where m is molality of moles solute per kilogram solvent
1.305 = 3.630m
m = 0.3595 = moles/kg solvent
Since we have 1 g of chloroform solvent, this is equivalent to 0.001 kg.
The number of moles is 103 mg or 0.103 g, divided by the molar mass (MM).
0.3595 = (0.103/MM) / 0.001
0.0003595 = 0.103/MM
MM = 286.51 g/mol
Therefore, the molar mass of retinol is 286.51 g/mol

Why Bohr's theory was inadequate?​
Natalka [10]
Bohr’s theory was inadequate because it did not explain the energies absorbed and released by atoms with more than one electron. It worked well for hydrogen atoms but did not work when applied to more complex atoms.

A compound composed of nickel and fluorine contains 9.11 g ni and 5.89 g f. what is the empirical formula of this compound
aalyn [17]
Empirical formula is the simplest formula showing the simplest ratio of atoms in a compound. Calculated as shown;
 we start by calculating the number of moles of each atom;
moles of nickel = 9.11 g ÷ 58.7 g = 0.155 moles 
moles of fluorine = 5.89 g ÷ 19 g = 0.31 moles
Then we get the ratio of the moles of nickel to that of flourine
 That is 0.155 : 0.31  (dividing by the smallest)
            0.155/0.155 : 0.31/0.155
we get 1:2  ( the simplest ratio)
Therefore the empirical formula is nif2

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

The heat of combustion is -25 kJ/g = -2700 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

According to the Law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion reaction and the heat absorbed by the bomb calorimeter is equal to zero.

Qcomb + Qcal = 0

Qcomb = - Qcal

The heat absorbed by the calorimeter can be calculated with the following expression.

Qcal = C × ΔT

where,

C is the heat capacity of the calorimeter

ΔT is the change in temperature

Then,

Qcomb = - Qcal

Qcomb = - C × ΔT

Qcomb = - 1.56 kJ/°C × 3.2°C = -5.0 kJ

Since this is the heat released when 0.1964 g o quinone burns, the energy of combustion per gram is:

\frac{-5.0kJ}{0.1964g} =-25kJ/g

The molar mass of quinone (C₆H₄O₂) is 108 g/mol. Then, the energy of combustion per mole is:

\frac{-25kJ}{g} .\frac{108g}{1mol} =-2700kJ/mol

RSB [31]
The list of options to answer this question is:

A.kinectic energy is transformed into thermal energy.

B.electrical energy is transformed into potential energy.

C.potential energy is transformed into kinectic energy.

D.mechanical energy is transformed into chemical energy.

The answer is the option A. A.kinectic energy is transformed into thermal energy.

As you know energy cannot be lost but transformed.

When friction force acts over the tyres it increases the speed of the particles in the tyres which is thermal energy, this thermal energy increase comes from kinetic energy loss.

Is relative dating an effective way to determine the age of rocks?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer: Read Explanation

Explanation: Index fossils are useful because they tell the relative ages of the rock layers in which they occur. Geologists use particular types of organisms, such as trilobites, as index fossils.
