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.

How many particles are in 23 g of H 2 O?
Sedaia [141]
1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 1023 particles.

⚛ 6.022 × 1023 is known as the Avogadro Number or Avogadro Constant and is given the symbol NA

N = n × NA

· N = number of particles in the substance

· n = amount of substance in moles (mol)

· NA = Avogardro Number = 6.022 × 10^23 particles mol-1


For H2O we have:

2 H at 1.0 each = 2.0 amu
1 O at 16.0 each = 16.0 amu
Total for H2O = 18.0 amu, or grams/mole

It takes 18 grams of H2O to obtain 1 mole, or 6.02 x 1023 molecules of water. Think about that before we answer the question. We have 25.0 grams of water, so we have more than one mole of water molecules. To find the exact number, divide the available mass (25.0g) by the molar mass (18.0g/mole). Watch how the units work out. The grams cancel and moles moves to the top, leaving moles of water. [g/(g/mole) = moles].

Here we have 25.0 g/(18.0g/mole) = 1.39 moles water (3 sig figs).

Multiply 1.39 moles times the definition of a mole to arrive at the actual number of water molecules:

1.39 (moles water) * 6.02 x 1023 molecules water/(mole water) = 8.36 x 1023 molecules water.

That's slightly above Avogadro's number, which is what we expected. Keeping the units in the calculations is annoying, I know, but it helps guide the operations and if you wind up with the unit desired, there is a good chance you've done the problem correctly.

N = n × (6.022 × 10^23)


1 grams H2O is equal to 0.055508435061792 mol.

Then 23 g of H2O is 1.2767 mol


To calculate the number of particles, N, in a substance:

N = n × NA

N = 1.2767 × (6.022 × 10^23)

N= 176.26

N=

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: It's colder.

Explanation: Well for starters Valparaiso is further away from the equator, and Australia is already really hot. But say that Valparaiso is further from the equator should be good enough.

What is a base?
aliya0001 [1]
The correct answer is A
its not D because a low pH is a acid
its not C because a base releases OH- ions
its not B because it donates and releases OH- ions
