When making a solution of sodium hydroxide and water, a student weighed out an certain amount of sodium hydroxide pellets and di

ssolved them in an certain amount of water. However, the sodium hydroxide concentration of the resulting solution was lower than the concentration that the student thought they made. What was the problem?

Hygroscopic nature of NaOH is the main reason for the lower concentration of the sodium hydroxide in the solution.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • It is a well known fact that Sodium hydroxide pellets are hygroscopic in nature, which clearly means that the sodium hydroxide pellets absorbs moisture from the air, so that it becomes deliquescent.
  • When the NaOH crystals are weighed, the crystals absorb moisture from the surroundings, and so the weight of the crystals may change, so the concentration of the solution was lower than the required one.So it is not possible to prepare NaOH solution under normal room temperature.
  • So, while preparing the solution of NaOH we have to be more careful.

Myth: A dead organism is the same as a nonliving thing in science.<br><br> Fact:<br><br> Evidence:
Ilya [14]

I recently did this assignment!

Instructions: Read each myth (untruth). Reword it to make a factual statement. Then, give two to three reasons why the myth is untrue. Use complete sentences and support your answer with evidence, using your own words.  

________________________________________

Answer:

Myth: A dead organism is the same as a nonliving thing in science.

o Fact: In science, dead is the same as nonliving.

o Evidence: Things that are nonliving never had the characteristics of life, and never will. Things that are dead once did have the characteristics of life, but when they die, they lose some of the characteristics. That is why dead and non-living are NOT the same thing.

Hope this helped!

Have an Amazing day!

2-phosphoglycerate(2PG) is converted to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) by the enzyme enolase. The standard free energy change(deltaGo
pogonyaev

Answer:

The correct option is: (D) -2.4 kJ/mol

Explanation:

<u>Chemical reaction involved</u>: 2PG ↔ PEP

Given: The standard Gibb's free energy change: ΔG° = +1.7 kJ/mol

Temperature: T = 37° C = 37 + 273.15 = 310.15 K    (∵ 0°C = 273.15K)

Gas constant: R = 8.314 J/(K·mol) = 8.314 × 10⁻³ kJ/(K·mol)     (∵ 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Reactant concentration: 2PG = 0.5 mM

Product concentration: PEP = 0.1 mM

Reaction quotient: Q_{r} =\frac{\left [ PEP \right ]}{\left [ 2PG \right ]} = \frac{0.1 mM}{0.5 mM} = 0.2

<u>To find out the Gibb's free energy change at 37° C (310.15 K), we use the equation:</u>

\Delta G = \Delta G^{\circ } + 2.303 R T log Q_{r}

\Delta G = 1.7 kJ/mol + [2.303 \times (8.314 \times 10^{-3} kJ/(K.mol))\times (310.15 K)] log (0.2)

\Delta G = 1.7 + [5.938] \times (-0.699) = 1.7 - 4.15 = (-2.45 kJ/mol)

<u>Therefore, the Gibb's free energy change at 37° C (310.15 K): </u><u>ΔG = (-2.45 kJ/mol)</u>

The International Date Line
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The International Date Line, established in 1884, passes through the mid-Pacific Ocean and roughly follows a 180 degrees longitude north-south line on the Earth. It is located halfway round the world from the prime meridian—the zero degrees longitude established in Greenwich, England, in 1852.
