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

ants to determine the molecular weight of the oily substance to try to identify the fragrance she likes so much. Her lab instructor tells her that her experiment will not work. Why do you think it will not work?

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.

A galvanic (voltaic) cell consists of an electrode composed of nickel in a 1.0 M nickel(II) ion solution and another electrode c
Andre45 [30]

<u>Answer:</u> The standard potential of the cell is 0.77 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

We know that:

E^o_{Ni^{2+}/Ni}=-0.25V\\E^o_{Cu^{+}/Cu}=0.52V

The substance having highest positive E^o reduction potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

The half reaction follows:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u> Ni(s)\rightarrow Ni^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u> Cu^{+}(aq)+e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)       ( × 2)

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

Putting values in above equation follows:

E^o_{cell}=0.52-(-0.25)=0.77V

Hence, the standard potential of the cell is 0.77 V

3. Which change of state involves adding thermal energy to a substance!
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

A) Melting

Explanation:

The three changes of phase described in this problem are:

  • Melting: melting occurs when a substance in solid state turns into liquid state. Since molecules in liquid state have more energy than molecules in solid state (because in liquids, molecules can slide past each other, while in solids they can't move, but only vibrate), thermal energy must be added in order to melt a substance
  • Freezing: freezing occurs when a liquid substance turns into solid state (the opposite of melting). Since molecules in liquid state have more energy than molecules in solid state, thermal energy must be removed from the substance in order to cause freezing
  • Condensation: condensation occurs when a gaseous substance turns into liquid state. Since molecules in gaseous state have more energy than molecules in liquid state, thermal energy must be removed from the substance in order to cause condensation

So the correct option is

A) melting
