Purple Group Header Warm-Up Why can I smell a chocolate bar even though it is a solid? Read the description of the office myster

y and write your prediction below. On a warm afternoon, a Universal Space Agency office worker returned from lunch break and noticed the office smelled like chocolate. She didn't see anything in the air, but she noticed her coworker was opening the wrapper of a solid bar of chocolate. Why can the office worker smell the chocolate bar even though it is in solid form?

Answer:

The smell of a chocolate is from the presence of volatile compounds present in the chocolate bar which at room temperature readily changes phase from solid to liquid to vapor or gas

Explanation:

There are nearly 600 identified compounds present in a chocolate bar and out of these, there are volatile components which gives the chocolate bar its distinctive aroma.

These volatile chocolate contents readily change phase from solid to vapor, with very short duration liquid phase.

For example, 3 methylbutanal, vanillin, and several organic compounds which are known to be readily volatile.

An excited ozone molecule, O3*, in the atmosphere can undergo one of the following reactions,O3* → O3 (1) fluorescenceO3* → O +
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The simplified expression for the fraction  is  \text {X} =    \dfrac{  {k_3  \times cM} }{k_1 +k_2 + k_3 }

Explanation:

From the given information:

O3* → O3                   (1)    fluorescence

O + O2                      (2)    decomposition

O3* + M → O3 + M    (3)     deactivation

The rate of fluorescence = rate of constant (k₁) × Concentration of reactant (cO)

The rate of decomposition is = k₂ × cO

The rate of deactivation = k₃ × cO × cM

where cM is the concentration of the inert molecule

The fraction (X) of ozone molecules undergoing deactivation in terms of the rate constants can be expressed by using the formula:

\text {X} =    \dfrac{ \text {rate of deactivation} }{ \text {(rate of fluorescence) +(rate of decomposition) + (rate of deactivation) }  } }

\text {X} =    \dfrac{  {k_3 \times cO \times cM} }{  {(k_1 \times cO) +(k_2 \times cO) + (k_3 \times cO \times cM) }  }

\text {X} =    \dfrac{  {k_3 \times cO \times cM} }{cO (k_1 +k_2 + k_3  \times cM) }

\text {X} =    \dfrac{  {k_3  \times cM} }{k_1 +k_2 + k_3  }    since  cM is the concentration of the inert molecule

How many grams of lithium sulfide must be dissolved in 1600.0 g water to make a 2.0 molal solution?
klasskru [66]
Molality is the number of moles of solutes in 1 kg of solvent.
the molality of solution to be prepared is 2.0 molal. 
therefore 2 moles in 1 kg water.
the mass of Li₂S required is - 46 g/mol x 2.0 mol = 92 g
the mass in 1 kg of solvent is - 92 g
Therefore mass of Li₂S required in 1600.0 g is - 92 g/kg x 1.6 kg = 147.2 g

Use the pop-up menus to label the following statements as either True of False.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

1 True

2. True

3. True

4. True

5. False

Explanation:

1. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl)  is a weak acid that forms when chlorine dissolves in water, and is partially dissociated, forming hypochlorite. HOCl is considered a strong oxidizing agent responsible for the killing action of germs in chlorine solutions.

2. Acetic acid is also known as ethanoic acid. It has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell, and is generally considered a weak acid. in a concentrated form, acetic acid can be corrosive.

3/4 . Methylene chloride is an organochloride compound with the formula CH2Cl2. It is  a colorless, volatile liquid with a moderately sweet aroma is widely used as a solvent. It is normally stable, non-flammable and non-explosive when mixed with air at temperatures below 100 °C, but its vapor is flammable only when present in relatively high concentrations of about 14% to 22% in air. Research shows that it is very much possibly carcinogenic, and it has been linked to cancer of the lungs, liver, pancreas, breast cancer and salivary gland cancer in laboratory animals.

5. Laboratory and medical waste are not to be disposed in the trash with regular wastes, as they are potentially toxic. Special disposal methods and agencies exists to take away such wastes.
