Answer:

Training officers in how to properly collect evidence

Explanation:

Forensic science is an interesting branch of science that involves the use of scientific procedures to solve a crime case. It encompasses collection of physical evidence from the crime scene and analyzing it in a laboratory using scientific means.

A forensic scientist is the individual in charge of performing these scientific procedures. His/her major role is to run the scientific analysis of the physical evidence brought in by the officers, however, he/she can also perform the task of training officers in how to properly collect evidence, in order not to damage the evidence or render it invalid for use.

Scilla [17]

Answer:

1.204428 * 10^24 atoms

Explanation:

Number of moles = 2 mol

Number of atoms = ?

The relationship between moles and atoms is given by the avogadro's umber. This is the number of units in one mole of a substance. The units can be atoms, ions etc In this case it is atoms. The number is equal to 6.02214076 * 10^23

This means;

1 mol = 6.02214076 * 10^23

2 mol = x

Upon solving for x,

x = 2 * 6.02214076 * 10^23

x = 12.04428 * 10^23

x = 1.204428 * 10^24 atoms

Dolomite, [CaMg(CO3)2] is found in a soil sample. A geochemist titrates 24.65 g of soil with 57.85 mL of 0.3315M HCl. What is th

pshichka [43]

In order to find out the %mass dolomite in the soil, calculate for the mass of dolomite using the information given from the titration procedure. You would need to multiply 57.85 ml with 0.3315 M HCl and you would get the amount of HCl in millimoles. Then multiply the amount of HCl with 1/2 (given that for every 1 mol of dolomite, 2 mol of HCl would be needed). Convert the amount of dolomite to mass by multiplying the millimoles with the molecular weight which is 184.399. Then convert the mass to grams which is 1.768 grams. Divide the mass of dolomite (1.768 grams) with the weight of soil sample. The % mass is 7.17.

Answer:

1) 1.52 atm.

2) 647.85 K.

3) 20.56 L.

4) 1.513 mole.

5) 254.22 K = -18.77 °C.

Explanation:

In all this points, we should use the law of ideal gas to solve this problem: PV = nRT.
Where, P is the pressure (atm), V is the volume (L), n is the number of moles, R is the general gas constant (0.082 L.atm/mol.K), and T is the temperature (K).

1) In this point; n, R, and T are constants and the variables are P and V.

P and V are inversely proportional to each other that if we have two cases we get: P1V1 = P2V2.

In our problem:

P1 = ??? (is needed to be calculated) and V1 = 45.0 L.

P2 = 5.7 atm and V2 = 12.0 L.

Then, the original pressure (P1) = P2V2 / V1 = (5.7 atm x 12.0 L) / (45.0 L) = 1.52 atm.

2) In this case, n and R are the constants and the variables are P, V, and T.

P and V are inversely proportional to each other and both of them are directly proportional to the temperature of the gas that if we have two cases we get: P1V1T2 = P2V2T1.

In our problem:

P1 = 212.0 kPa, V1 = 32.0 L, and T1 = 20.0 °C = (20 °C + 273) = 293 K.

P2 = 300.0 kPa, V2= 50.0 L, and T2 = ??? (is needed to be calculated)

Then, the temperature in the second case (T2) = P2V2T1 / P1V1 = (300.0 kPa x 50.0 L x 293 K) / (212.0 kPa x 32.0 L) = 647.85 K.

3) In this case, P, n and R are the constants and the variables are V, and T.

V and T are directly proportional to each other that if we have two cases we get: V1T2 = V2T1.

In our problem:

V1 = 25.0 L and T1 = 65.0 °C + 273 = 338 K.

V2 = ??? (is needed to be calculated) and T2 = 5.0 °C + 273 = 278 K.

Herein, there is no necessary to convert T into K.

Then, the volume in the second case (V2) = V1T2 / T1 = (25.0 L x 278 °C) / (338 °C) = 20.56 L.

4) We can get the number of moles that will fill the container from: n = PV/RT.

P = 250.0 kPa, we must convert the unit from kPa to atm; 101.325 kPa = 1.0 atm, then P = (1.0 atm x 250.0 kPa) / (101.325 kPa) = 2.467 atm.

V = 16.0 L.

R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K.

T = 45 °C + 273 = 318 K.

Now, n = PV/RT = (2.467 atm x 16.0 L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K x 318 K) = 1.513 mole.

5) In this case, V, n and R are the constants and the variables are P, and T.

P and T are directly proportional to each other that if we have two cases we get: P1T2 = P2T1.

In our problem:

P1 = 2200.0 mmHg and T1 = ??? (is needed to be calculated) .

P2 = 2700.0 mmHg and T2 = 39.0 °C + 273 = 312.0 K.

Herein, there is no necessary to convert P into atm.

Then, the temperature in the morning (T1) = P1T2 / P2 = (2200.0 mmHg x 312.0 K) / (2700.0 mmHg) = 254.22 K = -18.77 °C.
