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.

Find the potentials of the following electrochemical cell:
melomori [17]

Answer: 0.18 V

Explanation:-

Cd/Cd^{2+}(0.10M)//Ni^{2+}(0.50M)?Ni

Here Cd undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. nickel undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

E^0_(Cd^{2+}/Cd)=-0.40V[/tex]

E^0_(Ni^{2+}/Ni)=-0.24V[/tex]

Cd+Ni^{2+}\rightarrow Cd^{2+}+Ni

Here Cd undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. nickel undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

E^0=E^0_{cathode}- E^0_{anode}

Where both E^0 are standard reduction potentials.

E^0=E^0_{[Ni^{2+}/Ni]}- E^0_{[Cd^{2+}/Cd]}

E^0=-0.24-(-0.40)=0.16V

Using Nernst equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Cd^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+]}

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential = 0.16 V

E_{cell}=0.16-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{[0.10]}{[0.5]}

E_{cell}=0.18V

Thus the potential of the following electrochemical cell is 0.18 V.

Which of the following equations is balanced and follows the Law of Conservation of Mass?
Jet001 [13]

Option B is a balanced equation and follows the Law of Conservation of Mass. This is because the number of atoms of each element on both sides are the same.

Give the symbol of the element that has the largest atomic size in group 3a (13).
Anni [7]
<span>This family of elements is headed by boron. In this case, atomic size increases as one goes down the periodic table, as there are more electrons in each successive element needed to fill the outer shells. As such, thallium, at the lowest level of the group 3a column, will have the largest atomic size.</span>
