Answer:

Water has a higher boiling point because the hydrogen bonds that form water molecules are stronger than the Van der Waals interactions among methane molecules, therefor more energy must be provided in order to break the hydrogen bonds and allow the water molecules to escape the liquid state.

Is cooking raw tomatoes a physical or a chemical change?<br>Explain why?
salantis [7]

When you are asked a question like this, you can always ask yourself this question. Can I change it back after this change? For example, if you are burning wood, you cannot bring it back to wood after you burn it, therefore, it is a chemical change. However, if you boil and evaporate water, you can make the water condense again back into its liquid form. In this case, you cannot bring the tomato back to its raw state. Therefore, cooking raw tomatoes is a chemical change.

Which buffer would be better able to hold a steady pH on the addition of strong acid, buffer 1 or buffer 2? Explain. Buffer 1: a
Talja [164]

Answer:

Buffer 1.

Explanation:

Ammonia is a weak base. It acts like a Bronsted-Lowry Base when it reacts with hydrogen ions.

\rm NH_3\; (aq) + H^{+}\; (aq) \to {NH_4}^{+}\; (aq).

\rm NH_3 gains one hydrogen ion to produce the ammonium ion \rm {NH_4}^{+}. In other words, \rm {NH_4}^{+} is the conjugate acid of the weak base \rm NH_3.

Both buffer 1 and 2 include

  • the weak base ammonia \rm NH_3, and
  • the conjugate acid of the weak base \rm {NH_4}^{+}.

The ammonia \rm NH_3 in the solution will react with hydrogen ions as they are added to the solution:

\rm NH_3\; (aq) + H^{+}\; (aq) \to {NH_4}^{+}\; (aq).

There are more \rm NH_3 in the buffer 1 than in buffer 2. It will take more strong acid to react with the majority of \rm NH_3 in the solution. Conversely, the pH of buffer 1 will be more steady than that in buffer 2 when the same amount of acid has been added.

staci is attending a music festival. the ticket to the festival costs $87.96, Staci pleans to purchase $30.00 t-shirts from the
ziro4ka [17]

The total amount that Staci had in hand is $200.00.

The ticket at that time costs $87.96.

One Tshirt costs, $30.00.

Now that she has paid ticket, she will deduct the ticket from the cash she has in hand, so as to know the amount she is remaining with.

Tha is, $200-$87.96 = $112.04.

∴ In hand Staci has $112.04 extra cash whereby she can purchase more t shirts.

To get the number of tshirt she can buy, she will divide the amount she has in hand by the amount per piece of t shirt.

For example, $112.04 / $30 = $3.73.

∴ Staci can only purchase threet shirts only at a total cost of $90 for all the t shirts which is $30 × 3 = $90.

Staci has excess of 22.04 after deducting ticket and the other amount she has used to purchase the extra t shirts.

That is, $112.04 - $90 = $22.04.

How many capsules containing 75mg of Tamiflu could be produced from 155g of star anise.?
jeyben [28]
From the question you will find that:
one capsule of tamiflu is obtained from 2.6 g of star anise.
1 capsule   = 2.6 g tamiflu
? capsules = 155 g tamiflu
by cross multiplication = \frac{(1 x 155)}{2.6} = 59 capsules

Provide the organometallic reagent that is needed to perform the transformation shown below. The reagent should be formatted as
Juliette [100K]

The correct answer is   LiCH_{3}CH(CH_{3} )CH_{3} .

<h3>Organometallic reagent</h3>

Organometallic chemistry is the study of organometallic compounds, which are substances that contain at least one chemical bond between a carbon atom from an organic molecule and a metal. These substances include alkali, alkaline earth, and transition metals, as well as metalloids like boron, silicon, and selenium. In addition to links to organyl fragments or molecules, bonds to 'inorganic' carbon, such as those to carbon monoxide (metal carbonyls), cyanide, or carbide, are also typically regarded as organometallic. Although they are not strictly speaking organometallic compounds, some similar compounds, such as transition metal hydrides and metal phosphine complexes, are frequently included in discussions of such substances. The phrase "metalorganic compound," which is comparable but different, describes molecules that contain metals but do not have direct metal-carbon bonds but do have organic ligands.
