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.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Age of rock = 722 million years old

Explanation:

Using the formula; <em>fraction remaining = 0.5ⁿ</em>

where n = number of half lives elapsed.

However, from the given values, fraction remaining = 1.000 - 0.0105

fraction remaining = 0.9895

Substituting in the formula to determine the number of half-lives:

0.9895 = 0.5ⁿ

log 0.9895 = n log 0.5  

-0.0045842 = -0.30103 n

number of half lives elapsed, n = 0.0152

Therefore age of rock = 0.0152 x 4.75 x 10¹⁰ years =  7.22 x10⁸ years

Age of rock = 722 million years old

Which compound is more soluble in an acidic solution than in a neutral solution? agcl hgbr2 baco3 pbi2?
Alisiya [41]
Answer is: BaCO₃ (barium carbonate).
barium carbonate is white powder with low solubility in water, but good solubility in acids (<span>with the exception of sulfuric acid), because it forms solunle salts and carbonic acid (decomposes on carbon(IV) oxide and water).
For example if we add hydrochloric acid in barium carbonate:
BaCO</span>₃(s) + 2HCl(aq) → BaCl₂(aq) + H₂CO₃(aq).
