You are presented with a white solid and told that due to careless labeling it is not clear if the substance is barium chloride,

lead chloride, or zinc chloride.when you transfer the solid to a beaker and add water,the solid dissolves to give a clear solution.next a na2so4(aq) solution is added and a white precipitate forms. what is the identity of the unknown white solid?

The given salts are Barium chloride, lead chloride and zinc chloride.

The balanced chemical reaction between barium chloride and sodium sulfate:

BaCl_{2}(aq)+Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq)-->2NaCl(aq)+BaSO_{4}(s)_{white precipitate}

The balanced chemical reaction between lead chloride and sodium sulfate:

PbCl_{2}(aq)+Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq)-->2NaCl(aq)+PbSO_{4}(s)_{white precipitate}

The balanced chemical reaction between zinc chloride and sodium sulfate:

ZnCl_{2}(aq)+Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq)-->2NaCl(aq)+ZnSO_{4}(aq)

Both Barium chloride and lead chloride produce a white precipitate of their respective sulfates upon reaction with sodium sulfate. But BaCl2 is readily soluble in water where as Lead chloride is insoluble in water.

Therefore, the compound is barium chloride.

T. Svedberg measured the molecular weight of carbonyl hemoglobin by velocity centrifugation. In this experiment, 0.96 g of prote
Natalija [7]

Answer:

The molecular weight is 77.7 kg/mol

Explanation:

The molecular mass of hemoglobin is equal to:

M=\frac{RTs}{D(1-Vp)}

Where

R = molar gas constant = 8.315 J/K mol

p = density = 0.998 g/mL

V = specific volume = 0.755 mL/g

s = sedimentation rate = ?

D = diffusion rate = 7x10⁻¹¹m²/s

T = temperature = 303 K

The sedimentation rate is equal to:

s=\frac{1}{w^{2}t } ln(\frac{x_{b,t} }{x_{b,0} } )

Where

w = angular velocity = 39300 rpm = 246929.18 rad/min

xb,30 = boundary midpoint distance at 30 min = 4.525 + 0.074 cm

t = time = 30 min

xb,0 = boundary midpoint distante at 0 min = 4.525 cm

s=\frac{1}{246929.18^{2}*30 } ln(\frac{4.525+0.074}{4.525} )=8.87x10^{-13} min=5.32x10^{-13} s

The molecular weight is:

M=\frac{8.315*303*5.32x10^{-13} }{7x10^{-11}*(1-(0.755*0.998)) } =77.7kg/mol

what ph indicator is added to the simmons citrate agar? group of answer choices phenol red methylene green bromothymol blue litm
NikAS [45]

The most common pH indicator used in Simmons Citrate Agar is Bromthymol Blue (BTB)

Simmons Citrate Agar is a selective and differential medium used for the detection and differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae (gram-negative bacteria).

The medium contains sodium citrate as the sole carbon source, which is used to differentiate organisms based on their ability to utilize citrate as a sole carbon source.

The medium also contains pH indicators that change color based on the pH of the medium. The most common pH indicator used in Simmons Citrate Agar is Bromthymol Blue (BTB).

BTB is a pH indicator that turns yellow in acidic conditions and blue in basic conditions. As the bacteria metabolize the citrate in the medium, they produce acids, which cause the medium to become acidic.

This change in pH is detected by the BTB, which changes color from blue to yellow. The yellow coloration of the medium is an indication that the organism is utilizing citrate as a sole carbon source.

1. Explain why using renewable resources might be a good choice? Why do you think that?
ki77a [65]
Hi there. I suggest doing this yourself but here are my answers in my own words

1) Using renewable resources might be an amazing choice due to the fact that there will be less pollution. If humans continue using non-renewable resources, humans will make the oxygen contaminated. Also, renewable resources will never run out so there isn't any harm getting them

2) The environmental impact of using non-renewable resources is that more carbon dioxide will be released which causes pollution which is harmful to the human body. Renewable resources are unlimited and don't cause any pollution

. Now Sara comes along, and she is the exact same size as you. However, she is even stronger than you are! When she pulls you in
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the impressed force.

Mathematically;

Ft = mv - mu

Where;

F = Force

t = time

m= mass

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

Since the mass is the same, the equation reduces to;

Ft = m(v-u)

So

F=  m(v-u)/t

but

(v-u)/t = acceleration (a)

F = ma

a = F/m

Since the mass is the same because Sarah is the same size as i am but she pulls with a greater force, it follows that i will be the one in the wagon when the wagon has the greatest acceleration because the force that Sarah applies when pulling me is greater than the force i will apply when pulling her.

Is a tree getting struck by lightning a physical or chemical change?
FrozenT [24]

A tree getting struck by lightning, it is an example of a physical change.

It is so because when a tree getting struck by lightning, it encountered a strong force of power but no new substance is formed here. So it is a physical change, if it is a chemical change then a new substance must formed here. So when a tree getting struck by lightning, it is an example of a physical change.
