What is the overall (X-fold) dilution of 4 serial 2-fold dilutions?

Chemistry

6 0

Answer:

16-fold dilution.

Explanation:

A serial dilution is any dilution where the concentration decrease by the same quantity in each successive step. So, for a 2-fold dilution, the concentration decrease 1/2, it means that if we have a sample with 10 M of concentration, after a 2-fold dilution it will be 5 M. For the next step it will be 1/2 of 5= 2.5 M, and successively.

Then, we just multiply the factor for each dilution. After 4 serial dilutions:

1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/16

So, it would be a 16-fold dilution in the end.

What is the molecular formula of each compound?<br> (c) Empirical formula HgCl (m = 5 472.1 g/mol)
beks73 [17]

The molecular formula of HgCl (m = 5 472.1 g/mol) is Hg2Cl4.

The molecular formula is an expression that defines the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of a compound. It shows the actual number of each atom in a molecule.

<h3>Molecular formula: What is it?</h3>

A chemical formula is a way to communicate information in chemistry about the proportions of atoms that make up a specific chemical compound or molecule. Chemical element symbols, numbers, and occasionally other symbols like parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas, and plus and minus signs are used to represent the chemical elements.

A molecule's molecular formula reveals which atoms and how many of each kind are included within it. No subscript is used if there is just one atom of a certain kind. A subscript is added to the symbol for an atom if it contains two or more of a certain type of atom.

What is the purpose of the uninoculated control tubes used in the oxidation fermentation test?
Black_prince [1.1K]
The purpose of the uninoculated control tubes used in this test is that two uninoculated control tubes are needed to show the results of the medium in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. It is used to show it is sterile and also as a color comparison, used also to show that the medium remains green under both conditions.

Which part of an atom is actively exchanged or shared in a chemical bond?
denpristay [2]

The part of an atom that is actively exchanged or shared in a chemical bond is ELECTRON.

An atom is made up of three sub particles, which are electron, proton and neutron. The proton and the neutron are located in the nucleus of the atom and they make up the major mass of the atom. The electron is located outside of the nucleus and it orbit around the nucleus; it has negligible mass. The electron is negatively charged and because it is located outside of the nucleus, it is the one that is always involved in chemical reactions. There are different types of chemical bonds in chemical compounds and it is electrons that are normally used to form these bonds. During bond formation, electrons can either be donated or shared.

Baking soda, NaHCO3, can be commercially produced during a series of chemical reactions called the Solvay process. In this proce
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

CaO(s) + 2NH4Cl(aq) -------> CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + 2NH3(g)

Explanation:

The solvay process is an important process in the chemical industry. In this process, ammonia gas is first dissolved in concentrated brine to form a mixture known as ammoniacal brine. This solution is made to trickle down the tower. A counter stream of carbon dioxide is forced up the tower. The two substances react to form sodium hydrogen trioxocarbonate IV. This substance is only slightly soluble and separates out as a solid sludge. The product is now dried and heated to give sodium trioxocarbonate IV.

The overall reaction of the process can be given as;

CaO(s) + 2NH4Cl(aq) -------> CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + 2NH3(g)

Calcium chloride is merely a by-product.
