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.

Scilla [17]

Answer:

2H⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → 2H₂O (l)

General Formulas and Concepts:

  • Solubility Rules
  • Strong Acids/Bases

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: RxN</u>

HNO₃ (aq) + Ca(OH)₂ (aq) → Ca(NO₃)₂ (aq) + H₂O (l)

Yes,this is an example:
An apple is sitting on a desk he is not in motion but one of the forces acting upon it is gravitational pull because is not floating around, the earth gravitational pull is pulling it down to the earth's surface.

If you can plz help ASAP Read the chemical equation.
Svetllana [295]

N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3

in this question, we are dealing with only NH3 and H2 so we only focus on that

since the ratio of H2 to 2NH3 is 3:2, we say that

3 liters of H2 = 2 liters of 2NH3

3.6 litres of H2 = x liters of 2NH3

We cross multiple to give:

3 × x = 3.6 × 2

3x = 7.2

Divide both sides by 3

x = 7.2 ÷ 3

x = 2.4liters
