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.

A compound distributes between benzene (solvent 1) and water (solvent 2) with a distribution coefficient, K = 2.7. If 1.0g of th
mote1985 [20]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Solvent 1 = benzene,          Solvent 2 = water

 K_{p} = 2.7,         V_{S_{2}} = 100 mL

V_{S_{1}} = 10 mL,       weight of compound = 1 g

       Extract = 3

Therefore, calculate the fraction remaining as follows.

                  f_{n} = [1 + K_{p}(\frac{V_{S_{2}}}{V_{S_{1}}})]^{-n}

                                  = [1 + 2.7(\frac{100}{10})]^{-3}

                                  = (28)^{-3}

                                  = 4.55 \times 10^{-5}

Hence, weight of compound to be extracted = weight of compound - fraction remaining

                                  = 1 - 4.55 \times 10^{-5}

                                  = 0.00001

or,                               = 1 \times 10^{-5}

Thus, we can conclude that weight of compound that could be extracted is 1 \times 10^{-5}.

What determines the shape and function of a protein?
Aleks [24]
The function is determined by shape. The protein is determined by its primary structure which is the sequence of amino acids.
Amino acid sequence is determined by nucleotides in the gene (DNA)

Can someone help me fill out the chart and explain what i should do, please?

To determine the electronegativity for each bond you need to calculate the difference of electronegativity of the atoms forming the bond.  

If the difference is equal or greater than 1.7 you have an ionic bond.

If the difference is between 0.4 and 1.6  you have a polar covalent bond.

If the difference is between 0 and less than 0.4 you have a nonpolar covalent bond.  

1) In NH₃ there is a nitrogen - hydrogen bond.  

electronegativity of nitrogen - electronegativity of hydrogen =

3 - 2.2 = 0.8 → polar covalent bond

2) In N₂ there is a nitrogen-nitrogen bond.

electronegativity of nitrogen - electronegativity of nitrogen =

3 - 3 = 0 → nonpolar covalent bond

3) In H₂O there is an oxygen - hydrogen bond.  

electronegativity of oxygen - electronegativity of hydrogen =

3.5 - 2.2 = 1.3 → polar covalent bond

4) In PCl₃ there is a chlorine - phosphorus bond.  

electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of phosphorus = 3 - 2.1 = 0.9 → polar covalent bond

4) In HBr there is a bromine - hydrogen bond.  

electronegativity of bromine - electronegativity of hydrogen = 2.8 - 2.2 = 0.6 → polar covalent bond

5) In MgCl₂ there is a chlorine - magnesium bond.  

electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of magnesium = 3 - 1.2 = 1.8 → ionic bond

6) In F₂ there is a fluorine - fluorine  bond.  

electronegativity of fluorine - electronegativity of fluorine =

4 - 4 = 0 → nonpolar covalent bond

7) In CO₂ there is an oxygen - carbon bond.  

electronegativity of oxygen- electronegativity of carbon =

3.5 - 2.5 = 1 → polar covalent bond

8) In LiCl there is a chlorine - lithium bond.  

electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of lithium =

3 - 1 = 2 → ionic bond

9) In Na₂O there is an oxygen - sodium bond.

electronegativity of oxygen - electronegativity of sodium =

3.5 - 0.9 = 2.6 → ionic bond

10)  In CCl₄ there is a chlorine - carbon bond.  

electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of carbon =

3 - 2.5 = 0.5 → polar covalent bond

A sample of air is slowly passed through aqueous Sodium hydroxide and then over heater copper. Which gases are removed by this p
bagirrra123 [75]

Carbon dioxide and oxygen are removed from the air.

Explanation:

When air is passed through aqueous sodium hydroxide solution the carbon dioxide is removed from the air.

First the carbon dioxide will dissolve and react with water to form carbonic acid ( H₂CO₃) :

CO₂ + H₂O → H₂CO₃

The the carbonic acid will react with sodium hydroxide to form sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃):

H₂CO₃ + 2 NaOH → Na₂CO₃ + 2 H₂O

After this by passing the air over heated cooper the oxygen is removed.

2 Cu + O₂ → 2 CuO
