Answer:

+15.8°

Explanation:

The formula for the observed rotation (α) of an optically active sample is

α = [α]lc

where

l = the cell path length in decimetres

c = the concentration in units of g/100 mL

[α] = the specific rotation in degrees

1. Convert the concentration to units of g/100 mL

$c = \frac{\text{0.119 g}}{\text{10.0 mL}} \times \frac{10 }{10 } =\frac{\text{1.19 g}}{\text{100 mL}}$

2. Calculate the observed rotation

$\alpha = (+13.3 ^{\circ}) \times 1.19 \times 1 = +15.8^{\circ}$

Vanillin (used to flavor vanilla ice cream and other foods) is the substance whose aroma the human nose detects in the smallest

balu736 [363]

Answer:

Cost to supply enough vanillin is $3.2\$$

Explanation:

Threshold limit of vanillin in air is $2.0\times 10^{-11}g$ per litre means there should be $2.0\times 10^{-11}g$ of vanillin in 1L of air to detect aroma of vanillin.

$1ft^{3}=28.32L$

So, $5.0\times 10^{7}ft^{3}=(5.0\times 10^{7}\times 28.32)L$

So amount of vanillin should be present to detect = $(2.0\times 10^{-11}\times 5.0\times 10^{7}\times 28.32)g$

As cost of 50 g vanillin is $112\$$ therefore cost of $(2.0\times 10^{-11}\times 5.0\times 10^{7}\times 28.32)g$ vanillin = $(2.0\times 10^{-11}\times 5.0\times 10^{7}\times 28.32\times 112)\$ = 3.2\$$

What is the density of a book with a mass of 60g and a volume of 20 cm3?

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

2.5 g/cm3 .

Explanation:

Density is mass in grams over volume in cubic centimeters. So it is 25 g 10 cm 3 =2.5 g/cm 3 The unit is grams per cubic centimeter. NB - density can also be kilograms over cubic meters Hope this helps!

How many grams of P4O10 would be produced when 0.700 mole of phosphorus is burned?

AysviL [449]

We can solve the equation and show the solution below:

Oxygen atomic number is 16.
Phosphorus atomic number is 32.

We have the molecular weight:
Molecular weight = (31*4) + (16*10)
Molecular weight = 284 grams/mol

Solving for the grams:

0.4 mole (for P4) * (1 mol P4O10/1 mol P4) * (284 grams P4O10/1 mole P4O10)
Total grams = 113.6

The answer is 113.6 grams.

A balloon filled with helium occupies 21.0ft³ at 55.0°F. Find the temperature of the helium if the volume of the balloon decreas

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Assuming pressure is held constant,the question reduces to a ratio and proportion type of question where;

At constant pressure,

21.0ft³-55.0°F

11.0fy³=11.0ft³/21.0ft³×55°F

The temperature is 28.809°F≈29°F
