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.

What types of elements are shown in the polyatomic ions in model 1?
boyakko [2]
These ions are disjoint by the charge on the ion into four dissimilar tables and listed alphabetically within each table. Each polyatomic ion, has it called, chemical, formula, two dimensional drawing, and three dimensional representation are given.
The three dimensional buildings are drawn as CPK models. CPK structures represent the atoms as sphere, where the radius of the sphere is equal to the van der waals radius of the atom; these buildings give a measure up the volume of the polyatomic atom.

The list below includes some of the properties of ammonia
suter [353]
Ammonia is colorless gas with a characteristic smell. Its density is 0.589 times than air which makes it lighter than air. Ammonia can be easily liquefied due to the hydrogen bonding between the molecules. The boiling point is at -33.3 degrees Celsius and the freezing point is at -77.7 degrees Celsius.

The specific heat of a certain type of cooking oil is 1.75 J/(g⋅°C). How much heat energy is needed to raise the temperature of
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\textbf{609 kJ}}  

Explanation:

The formula for the heat absorbed is

q = mCΔT

Data:

m = 2.07 kg

T₁ = 23 °C

T₂ = 191 °C

C = 1.75 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹

Calculations:

1. Convert kilograms to grams

2.07 kg = 2070 g

2. Calculate ΔT

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 191 - 23  = 168 °C

3. Calculate q

q = \text{2070 g} \times 1.75 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times 168 \,^{\circ}\text{C} = \text{609 000 J} = \textbf{609 kJ}\\\text{The heat energy required is }\large \boxed{\textbf{609 kJ}}
