A compound possessing a carboxylic acid produces a yellow solution when dissolved in diethyl ether. This yellow solution is tran

sferred to a separatory funnel and an aqueous solution of sodium chloride is added as well. After mixing the two solutions and allowing them to settle, two layers form. Which of the following statements is true about the resulting layers?
A. The top layer will be diethyl ether, and the top layer will be yellow.
B. The top layer will be diethyl ether, and the bottom layer will be yellow.
C. The bottom layer will be diethyl ether, and bottom layer will be yellow.
D. The bottom layer will be diethyl ether , and the top layer will be yellow

Answer:

A. The top layer will be diethyl ether, and the top layer will be yellow.

Explanation:

The purpose of the addition of the saturated aqueous solution of polar solvents like sodium chloride in the liquid-liquid extraction techniques is to remove as well as separate any kind of water which may be dissolved in the ether. Water and sodium chloride are both polar and thus, they forms the bottom layer and only ether forms the top layer. The compound being organic and is colored is in the top layer with the ether.

Hence, answer - A. The top layer will be diethyl ether, and the top layer will be yellow.

If I only want to make 500 mL of a 1.25% bleach solution, how many milliliters of bleach would I need? Show your work or explain
kiruha [24]

Answer:

  6.25 mL

Explanation:

1.25% of 500 mL is ...

  0.0125×(500 mL) = 6.25 mL

Since 1.25% of the 500 mL of solution is bleach, that's how much you need. That amount is 6.25 mL.

Complete the three words. The oxidation state tells you how many electrons an atom has g....................... , l.............
fgiga [73]

Answer:Gained, Lost , Shared

Explanation:

The oxidation state tells you how many electrons an atom has GAINED.................. , LOST....................... , or SHARED........................ , in forming a compound.

Oxidation state is defined as the  the total number of electrons that an atom gains or loses when forming a chemical bond with another atom.

----To form an ionic bond for example in NaCl, Na, with 11 electrons and one valence electron in its outermost shell donates or lose that valence electron to Chlorine  with 17 electron and 7 in its outermost shell. Therefore Sodium, Na acquires the +1 oxidaton state to become stable and Chlorine acquires the -1 oxidation state  to become stable  forming the  NaCl compound.

To form a covalent compound, There must be sharing of electrons between atoms.For example, in PCl3,  The  phosphorous atom with atomic number 15 shares its three unpaired electrons with the single valence electrons of three chlorine atoms. making the four molecules to attain stability with  Phosphorous having +3 and the chlorine atoms having -1 oxidation states

Sulfur has an atomic number of 16 what is the ground-state electron configuration of sulfur​
guapka [62]

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

Explanation:

For ground state atoms you need to fill the orbitals in order.

Orbital s has max 2 electrons

Orbital p has max 6 electrons

Level 1 only has s orbital

Level 2 has s and p orbitals

Level 3 has s, p and d orbitals

You fill them in order until you reach 16 electrons:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

In the United States, barometric pressures a re generally reported in inches of mercury (in. Hg). On a beautiful summer day in C
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

773.43 torr

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Pressure (in inHg) = 30.45 inHg

Pressure (in torr) =?

We can convert 30.45 inHg to torr by doing the following:

1 inHg = 25.4 torr

Therefore,

30.45 inHg = 30.45 inHg × 25.4 torr / 1 inHg

30.45 inhg = 773.43 torr

Thus, 30.45 inhg is equivalent to 773.43 torr
