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 is the ph of a 0.0055 m ha (weak acid) solution that is 8.2% ionized?
Trava [24]
Answer is: pH value of weak is 3.35.
Chemical reaction (dissociation): HA(aq) → H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).
c(HA) = 0.0055 M.
α = 8.2% ÷ 100% = 0.082.
[H⁺] = c(HA) · α.
[H⁺] = 0.0055 M · 0.082.
[H⁺] = 0.000451 M.
pH = -log[H⁺].
pH = -log(0.000451 M).
pH = 3.35.
pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity <span>an aqueous solution.</span>

Compare the type of change that occurs when an iron bar rusts and when a substance freezes.
Ivanshal [37]

Explanation:

when an iron bar rust is an example of a chemical change in which a new substance is formed and the change is not easily reversible.for iron to rust moisture and air must be present.while when a substance freezes,it can be easily reversed through melting and no new substance is formed.this change is termed a physical change.
