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%

yarga [219]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: V2 = 1.94 l

Explanation:

Data

V1 = 2.42 l

T1 = 25°C

P1 = 1 atm

V2 = ?

T2 = 25 -11 = 14°C

P2 = 1(0.7) = 0.7 atm

Formula

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Clear V2 from the equation

V2 = P1V1T2/ P2T1

V2 = (1)((2.42)(14) / (0.7)(25)

V2 = 33.88 / 17.5

V2 = 1.94 l

The distance between Earth and its moon is 384000000 meters. Express this distance in kilometers.
Andreyy89
384000000m

to change from m to km you just need to divide that give unit in Meters by 1000

which equals,
384000

so,

384000000 meters = 384000 kilometers
