If a substance has a relatively low melting point (below 400ºF), then it is either molecular polar or molecular non-polar
If a substance has a high melting point, then it is either metallic, covalent network, or ionic
The stronger a substance’s bonds, the higher its melting point
The purpose of the uninoculated control tubes used in this test is that two uninoculated control tubes are needed to show the results of the medium in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. It is used to show it is sterile and also as a color comparison, used also to show that the medium remains green under both conditions.
<span>The student should
follow following steps to make 1 L of </span>2.0 M CaCl₂.<span>
<span>
1. First he should
calculate the number of moles of 2.0 M CaCl</span></span>₂ in 1 L solution.<span>
</span>Molarity of the solution = 2.0 M<span>
Volume of solution which should be prepared = 1 L
Molarity =
number of moles / volume of the solution
Hence, number of moles in 1 L = 2 mol
2. Find
out the mass of dry CaCl</span>₂ in 2 moles.<span>
moles =
mass / molar mass
Moles of CaCl₂ =
2 mol</span><span>
Molar mass of CaCl₂ = </span><span>110.98 g/mol
Hence, mass of CaCl</span>₂ = 2 mol x <span>110.98 g/mol
= 221.96
g
3. Weigh the mass
accurately
4. Then take a cleaned and dry1 L volumetric flask and place a funnel top of it. Then carefully add the salt into the volumetric flask and
finally wash the funnel and watch glass
with de-ionized water. That water also should be added into the volumetric
flask.
5. Then add some
de-ionized water into
the volumetric flask and swirl well until all salt are
dissolved.
<span>6. Then top up to
mark of the volumetric flask carefully.
</span></span>
7. As the final step prepared solution should be labelled.
