Adi loves the smell of lavender, so she decides to press a few petals of the flower until they release a few drops of oil. She w

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

What Adi failed to realize is that the oily substance that was obtained from lavender consists of a mixture of substances. It is not only the required fragrance that is present in the extract.

This experiment will not work because those other components in the mixture may be erroneously identified when they show up in the mass spectrum of the extract and may be mistaken for the fragrance in question.

Hence the experiment will not work because; if some kind of separation method is not used to identify other impurities in the oil, many other substances may be mistaken for the actual fragrance.

Why is it called alkaline battery?

Delicious77 [7]

Alkaline battery are a type of primary battery dependent upon the reaction between zinc metal and manganese dioxide.
The alkaline battery gets its name because it has an alkaline electrolyte of potassium hydroxide, instead of the acidic ammonium chloride or zinc chloride electrolyte of the zinc-carbon batteries.

Consider the reaction: P(s) + 5/2 Cl2(g)PCl5(g) Write the equilibrium constant for this reaction in terms of the equilibrium con

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: The equilibrium constant for the overall reaction is $K_a\times K_b$

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios.

a) $P(s)+\frac{3}{2}Cl_2(g)\rightarrow PCl_3(g)$

$K_a=\frac{[PCl_3]}{[Cl_2]^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

b) $PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow PCl_5(g)$

$K_b=\frac{[PCl_5]}{[Cl_2]\times [PCl_3]}$

For overall reaction on adding a and b we get c

c) $P(s)+\frac{5}{2}Cl_2(g)\rightarrow PCl_5(g)$

$K_c=\frac{[PCl_5]}{[Cl_2]^\frac{5}{2}}$

$K_c=K_a\times K_b=\frac{[PCl_3]}{[Cl_2]^{\frac{3}{2}}}\times \frac{[PCl_5]}{[Cl_2]\times [PCl_3]}$

The equilibrium constant for the overall reaction is $K_a\times K_b$

Why don’t all of the particles in an atom contribute to the mass?

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of an atom is dependent on its number of protons and neutrons. Electrons have mass, but are too light in comparison to protons and neutrons to contribute towards the overall mass. Their relative mass is about 1/1840 compared to 1 for protons and neutrons, and therefore are not counted in the mass.

Hope this helped!
