Some organic solvents do not work well in liquid-liquid aqueous extractions. Ethanol (HOCH2CH3) is a common inexpensive solvent,

but is a poor solvent for extractions. In ten or fewer words, provide an explanation for why ethanol is a poor solvent selection for extraction.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Extraction has to do with the separation of the components of a mixture by dissolving the mixture in a set up involving two phases. One phase is the aqueous phase (beneath) while the other is the organic phase (on top). The solvents used for the two phases must not be miscible. Water commonly is used for the aqueous phase.

Ethanol is an important solvent in chemistry but the solvent is miscible with water in all proportions. As a result of this, ethanol is a poor solvent for carrying out extraction.

Determine the mass of a ball with a wavelength of 3.45 × 10-34 m and a velocity of 6.55 m/s
Yuki888 [10]
<span>293 grams The formula for the wavelength of a massive particle is λ = h/p where λ = wavelength h = Plank constant (6.626070040Ă—10^â’34 J*s) p = momentum (mass times velocity) So let's solve for momentum and from there get the mass λ = h/p λp = h p = h/λ Substitute known values and solve p = 6.626070040Ă—10^â’34 J*s/3.45Ă—10^-34 m p = 1.92 J*s/m Since momentum is the product of mass and velocity, we have p = M * V p/V = M So substitute again, and solve. p/V = M 1.92 J*s/m / 6.55 m/s = M 1.92 kg*m/s / 6.55 m/s = M 1.92 kg*m/s / 6.55 m/s = M 0.293 kg = M So the mass is 293 grams</span>

Compare the shape and e-dot structure of H₂O and CO₂. They both have 1 central atom with 2 other atoms around it, but they do no
Svetach [21]

Explanation:

Both water and carbon dioxide have 2 bonding domains (with the 2 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms respectively)

However, water is a polar molecule as the central oxygen atom has 2 pairs of lone electrons, which allows it to form hydrogen bonding with other water molecules.

Carbon dioxide on the other hand is non-polar because it has no lone pairs on the central carbon atom, allowing its molecular geometry to be linear.

Hence the answer is Option C.
