Scientist looking for new substances in plants grind up the plants with methanol. This solvent dissolves many plant compounds. H

owever, methanol is flammable and toxic (especially if the vapour is inhaled). Large crystals can be made to help scientists work out what the compounds are made of. Explain how you would make plant-compound crystals using methanol.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Crystals can be made from methanol by recrystallizing the plant extract from methanol.

The methanol/water system is heated rapidly using a hot plate and the plant extract dissolves in the heating solution until a clear solution is obtained.

The solution is now cooled rapidly. The interior of the flask used for the re crystallization may even by scratched to assist the quick formation of crystals. Large crystals of plant compounds may be obtained using this method. This process should be carried out in a fume hood because of the toxicity of methanol.

What should you be careful of when measuring the temperature of a liquid in a beaker
andrezito [222]

The precaution to be taken while measuring the temperature of a liquid in a beaker is applying proper heat balance and taking all the required precautions.

  • A beaker with an open top contains a sample of liquid. It exposes this sample to light.
  • That liquid absorbs the light energy, turning it into heat energy. As a result, the liquid becomes warmer and evaporation is accelerated. As a result, there is less liquid in the beaker.
  • Since it is well known that the surface temperature of a liquid, along with air movement above the liquid surface, is one of the dominant factors affecting evaporation, I want to measure the evaporation rate as a function of surface temperature.
  • This can be done by applying a heat balance.

This exercise uses the radioactive decay model.
Anna11 [10]
For radioactive decay, we can relate current amount, initial amount, decay constant and time using:
N = No x exp(-λt)

Half-life = ln(2)/λ
λ = ln(2) / 5730
N/No = 80% = 0.8
0.8 = exp( -ln(2)/5730 x t)
t = 1844 years

All synthetic elements...
ki77a [65]
In chemistry, a synthetic element is a chemical element that does not occur naturally on Earth, and can only be created artificially. So far, 24 synthetic elements have been created (those with atomic numbers 95–118). All are unstable, decaying with half-lives ranging from 15.6 million years to a few hundred microseconds.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: There is one way to write it but i’ll also provide an unbalanced equation and a balanced one.

Explanation:

Unbalanced : Ba (aq) + Cl2 (aq)—-> BaCl (aq)

Balanced : 2Ba (aq) + Cl2 (aq)—> 2BaCl(aq)

Why is important to only test one variable at a time?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

It is important to only test one variable at a time because you need to be able to disprove or prove a problem with just one independent variable. When you have several variables in the experiment, it would be impossible to know which variable honestly caused the end result.
