Answer:

True

Explanation:

There are thousands of phytochemicals, and research on specific ones is limited.

However, there is a strong correlation between foods rich in phytochemicals and disease risk. This suggests that taking phytochemical supplements can provide health benefits.

For example, scientists have found that increased consumption of fruits and vegetables reduces the risk of coronary heart disease, cancer, Type 2 diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

A titration of 25.0 mL of a solution of the weak base aniline, C6H5NH2, requires 25.67 mL of 0.175 M HCl to reach the equivalenc

Lorico [155]

Answer:

a. 0.180M of C₆H₅NH₂

b. 0.0887M C₆H₅NH₃⁺

c. pH = 2.83

Explanation:

a. Based in the chemical equation:

C₆H₅NH₂(aq) + HCl(aq) → C₆H₅NH₃⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

<em>1 mole of aniline reacts per mole of HCl</em>

Moles required to reach equivalence point are:

Moles HCl = 0.02567L ₓ (0.175mol / L) = 4.492x10⁻³ moles HCl = moles C₆H₅NH₂

As the original solution had a volume of 25.0mL = 0.0250L:

4.492x10⁻³ moles C₆H₅NH₂ / 0.0250L = 0.180M of C₆H₅NH₂

b. At equivalence point, moles of C₆H₅NH₃⁺ are equal to initial moles of C₆H₅NH₂, that is 4.492x10⁻³ moles

But now, volume is 25.0mL + 25.67mL = 50.67mL = 0.05067L. Thus, molar concentration of C₆H₅NH₃⁺ is:

[C₆H₅NH₃⁺] = 4.492x10⁻³ moles / 0.05067L = 0.0887M C₆H₅NH₃⁺

c. At equivalence point you have just 0.0887M C₆H₅NH₃⁺ in solution. C₆H₅NH₃⁺ has as equilibrium in water:

C₆H₅NH₃⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) → C₆H₅NH₂ + H₃O⁺

Where Ka = Kw / Kb = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 4.0x10⁻¹⁰ =

When the system reaches equilibrium, molar concentrations are:

[C₆H₅NH₃⁺] = 0.0887M - X

[C₆H₅NH₂] = X

[H₃O⁺] = X

Replacing in Ka formula:

2.5x10⁻⁵ = [X] [X] / [0.0887M - X]

2.2175x10⁻⁶ - 2.5x10⁻⁵X = X²

0 = X² + 2.5x10⁻⁵X - 2.2175x10⁻⁶

Solving for X:

X = -0.0015 → False solution. There is no negative concentrations.

X = 0.001477 → Right solution.

As [H₃O⁺] = X, [H₃O⁺] = 0.001477

Knowing pH = -log [H₃O⁺]

pH = -log 0.001477

How to separate a solid for a solution

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Evaporation is the method of separating a solid (solute) from a homogeneous solution.

in this method, the solution is heated until the solvent gets evaporated in the form of vapor and the solute is left behind as residue.

How many particles of Na are there in 1.43g of a molecular compound with a Molar mass of 23g?

Olin [163]

Answer:

3.74 x 10²² particles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of compound = 1.43g

Molar mass of compound = 23g

Unknown:

Number of particles of sodium = ?

Solution:

To find the number of particles of Na in the compound, we need to obtain the mass of sodium from the total mass given;

Mass of sodium = $\frac{molar mass of Na}{molar mass of compound} x mass of sample$

= $\frac{23}{23} x 1.43g$

= 1.43g

Now find the number of moles of this amount of Na in the sample;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$ = $\frac{1.43}{23}$ = 0.062mole

Now;

1 mole of substance = 6.02 x 10²³ particles

0.062 mole of substance = 0.062 x 6.02 x 10²³ particles

= 3.74 x 10²² particles
