Answer:

There are needed 3 extractions to extract at least 95%

Explanation:

The distribution coefficient of a compound is defined as the ratio in concentration of the compound in the organic solvent and the concentration in the aqueous solution:

K = Concentration organic solvent / Concentration in water

Assuming as initial amount of the organic solvent: 100% and X as the amount of Y that is extracted

<em>First extraction:</em>

4 = X / 10mL / (100-X) / 50mL

4 = 50X / 1000-X

4000 - 4X = 50X

4000 = 54X

X = 74.1%

In the first extraction, 74.1% of Y is extracted

And will remain: 100 - 74.1 = 25.9%

<em>Second extraction:</em>

4 = X / 10mL / (25.9-X) / 50mL

4 = 50X / 259-X

1036 - 4X = 50X

1036 = 54X

X = 19.2%

In the second extraction, 19.2% of Y is extracted

And will remain: 25.9 - 19.2 = 6.7%

<em>Third extraction</em>

4 = X / 10mL / (6.7-X) / 50mL

4 = 50X / 67-X

268 - 4X = 50X

268 = 54X

X = 5.0%

In the first extraction, 5.0% of Y is extracted

And are extracted:

74.1% + 19.2% + 5.0% = 98.3%

That means there are needed 3 extractions to extract at least 95%

What have six valence electrons
irina1246 [14]

Any element in group 18 has eight valence electrons (except for helium, which has a total of just two electrons). Examples include neon (Ne), argon (Ar), and krypton (Kr). Oxygen, like all the other elements in group 16, has six valence electrons.

What is the volume of 40g of sugar given it’s listed density
lora16 [44]

Answer:

25.157 cm³

Explanation:

Data Given:

Mass of Sugar (m) = 40g

Density of sugar given in literature = 1.59 g/cm³

Volume of Sugar = ?

The formula will be used is

                              d = m/v ........................................... (1)

where

D is density

m is the mass

v is the volume

So

Rearrange the Equation (1)

                              d x v = m

                               v = m/ d         ................................................ (2)

put the given values in Equation  (2)

                       v = 40g / 1.59 g/cm³

                       v = 25.157 cm³

volume of 40 g of sugar = 25.157 cm³

1) A toy car with a mass of 2.35 kg is pushed with a force of 21.6 N. What is the acceleration of the car?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The acceleration of the car is 9,19 m/s2

Explanation:

We use the formula: F=m x a---> a=F/m

a=21,6N/ 2,35kg       1N is 1kgxm/s2

a=21,6 kg x m/s2 x 2,35 kg

a=9,191489362  m/s2
