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.

Why is argon used in a light bulb? using the terms of the electronic structure of an argon atom.
AVprozaik [17]
 The property of a filament of argon which lasts for a long time than air because argon is inert and will not oxidize the filament even at high temperatures is the key reason why argon is used in light bulbs compared to air which reacts quickly in  the atmosphere.

Global warming is a theory accepted by a majority of scientists.How can local environmental changes have global effects?
meriva

The local environmental changes are having a global effect, and that is well documented and constantly witnessed. The reason why local environmental changes can have such a big impact is that the gasses move freely throughout all of the planet, they move horizontally with the winds, and they also move vertically higher into the atmosphere which is in constant movement.

This results in a situation where one area produces lot of pollution, but another area is feeling the effects because the air masses moved big portion of the polluters there.

A nice example are China and Mongolia. China is one of the two major polluters in the world, while Mongolia barely has any industry especially when considered its size and population. The air masses though are moving from the southeast towards northwest, thus big portion of the pollution in the eastern part of China goes into Mongolia. Because of this, despite not being a big polluter, Mongolia has one of the worst air qualities in the world.

Also, we can witness that the holes in the ozone layer are mostly around the poles, despite the sources of the chemicals that are damaging it are on totaly different locations.
