The detector used in this experiment is called a Flame Ionization Detector (FID). As the different sample components come out of

the end of the column and enter the detector, they pass into a flame and generate free electrons. The electrons are generated as a result of carbon atoms being converted to positively charged carbon ions during the combustion process. The response measured (i.e.# of electrons generated per unit time; the electrical current) is directly proportional to the carbon content of the component entering the detector. Predict which of the following compounds will generate the largest detector response per unit concentration. Assume the concentration of each compound is the same in the sample mixture analyzed by GC-FID.
a. 2-methyl-1-propanol.
b. 1-butanol.
c. 2-methyl-1-butanol.
d. ethyl acetate.

Answer:

c. 2-methyl-1-butanol.

Explanation:

As depicted in the question; the number of electrons produced is straightforwardly relative and directly proportional to the content and substance of carbon in the atom. So 2-methyl-1-butanol has the most highest and noteworthy carbon content (5carbons) among the accompanying species. So it will generate and create the biggest detector reaction response.

What is one advantage of doing a feild experiment instead of a laboratory experiment
Ber [7]

Answer:

  Field experiments can often have the potential to give scientists opportunities that are not possible in a lab setting.

Explanation:

  Having people "act natural" in a lab setting is impossible to truly achieve, as we all know what happens to our mental state and behavior when we are being actively observed. This is also especially helpful when conducting wildlife research, as there are a myriad of different things influencing animal and plant behavior that would be nigh impossible to recreate perfectly in a controlled lab setting.

  Field research can have its disadvantages as well, as it is very hard to only have one thing change (make an independent variable) in a wild environment with ever-changing weather, social effects, etc. Also, you, as the researcher, as causing an impact on the very location that you are observing, which can alter your results in unpredictable ways.

  The thing to remember is that each type of study has its advantages and disadvantages; if they didn't, then we'd all do the same type of research! You have to weigh your research options and figure out which one works best for your situation :)

A 25.0 mLsample of an acetic acid solution is titrated with a 0.175 M NaOH solution. The equivalence point is reached when 37.5
matrenka [14]

Answer:

0.263M of CH₃COOH is the concentration of the solution.

Explanation:

The reaction of acetic acid (CH₃COOH) with NaOH is:

CH₃COOH + NaOH → CH₃COO⁻Na⁺ + H₂O

<em>1 mole of acetic acid reacts per mole of NaOH to produce sodium acetate and water.</em>

<em />

In the equivalence point, moles of acetic acid are equal to moles of NaOH and moles of NaOH are:

0.0375L × (0.175 moles / L) = 6.56x10⁻³ moles of NaOH = moles of CH₃COOH.

As the sample of acetic acid had a volume of 25.0mL = 0.025L:

6.56x10⁻³ moles of CH₃COOH / 0.0250L =

<em>0.263M of CH₃COOH is the concentration of the solution</em>
