A mysterious white powder is found at a crime scene. A simple chemical analysis concludes that the powder is a mixture of sugar

and morphine (C17H19NO3), a weak base similar to ammonia. The crime lab takes 10.00 mg of the mysterious white powder, dissolves it in 100.00 mL water, and titrates it to the equivalence point with 2.84 mL of a standard 0.0100 M HCl solution. What is the percentage of morphine in the white powder?
a. 8.10%
b. 17.3%
c. 32.6%
d. 49.7%
e. 81.0%

Answer:

e. 81.0%

Explanation:

Morphine has Molar mass = 285.34 g/mol

Also, number of males of Morphine = Number of moles of HCl

(At equivalence point )

Now, number of moles of HCl = Molarity × volume

=0.01 mol × 2.84×10^(-3) L

= 2.84×10^(-5) mol

therefore number of moles of morphine= 2.85×10^(-5)

Mass of Morphine= No. of moles × molar mass

= 2.84×10^(-5)×285.34 g/mol

= 0.0081 g

= 8.1 mg

therefore

percentage of morphine = mass of morphine/ mass of powder×100%

= 8.1/10×100% = 81.0%

hence option e is correct.

Magma can partially crystallize at depth and then rise to shallow depths where the remaining magma solidifies. The early-formed
Doss [256]
<h2>Phenocrysts and Porphyritic texture </h2>

Explanation:

  • The early formed crystals are of phenocrysts and the texture of these crystals is porphyritic texture.  
  • This crystallization occurs when early-forming plagioclase crystals which are rich in calcium start coating with plagioclase crystals which are rich in sodium.
  • On cooling, the magma is then processed in a volcanic eruption, after the eruption the liquid which is left behind will start cooling and forms a porphyritic texture.

garri49 [273]

Answer: Natural selection.

Explanation:

The natural selection is the process by which the organism that best suits the characters will survive and the organism which cannot adapt the changes will die.

The predators feed on their prey and the organism which hides easily in the environment due to its color is safe and the animals that cannot camouflage will die.

This is natural selection that more favored character is carried out over generations and other that cannot survive die.
