Answer:

No, IR should not soely be used to identify molecules

Explanation:

IR is a method that identifies the functional groups in a molecule by deducing the frequency of stretching and vibration of bonds. Each peculiar type of bond has a frequency for the vibration of each bond represented on the IR spectrum.

However, one method is never enough to identify a compound. A combination of methods must always be used to clear up ambiguities arising from overlapping IR frequencies. Also, interpretation of the nuanced peaks of the fingerprint region in IR spectra is quite challenging and only gives a fair idea of the functional groups present in the compound.

Therefore other methods such as NMR, UV-VISIBLE etc should also be involved in the identification of compounds.

frez [133]

Answer:

The digestive role of the liver is to produce bile and export it to the duodenum. The gallbladder primarily stores, concentrates, and releases bile. The pancreas produces pancreatic juice, which contains digestive enzymes and bicarbonate ions, and delivers it to the duodenum.

Explanation:

The chemical process of digestion begins during chewing as food mixes with ... The esophagus is a tubular organ that connects the mouth to the stomach. ... Acid reflux or “heartburn” occurs when the acidic digestive juices escape into the esophagus. ... The secretions of the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are regulated by ...

A sample of nitrogen is initially at a pressure of 1.7 kPa, a temperature of -10 C and a volume of 7.5 m3. Then the volume is de

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{2.6 kPa}}$

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the Combined Gas Laws:

$\dfrac{p_{1}V_{1} }{T_{1}} = \dfrac{p_{2}V_{2} }{T_{2}}$

Data:

p₁ = 1.7 kPa; V₁ = 7.5 m³; T₁ = -10 °C

p₂ = ?; V₂ = 3.8 m³; T₂ = 200 K

Calculations:

(a) Convert temperature to kelvins

T₁ = (-10 + 273.15) K = 263.15 K

(b) Calculate the pressure

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{1.7 \times 7.5 }{263.15} & = & \dfrac{p_{2} \times 3.8}{200}\\\\0.0485 & = & 0.0190p_{2}\\p_{2} & = & \textbf{2.6 kPa}\\\end{array}\\\text{The new pressure of the gas is \boxed{\textbf{2.6 kPa}}}$

What salt is formed by the reaction of potassium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid?

Nina [5.8K]

Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is formed when Potassium forms ionic bonds with OH-ions while Potassium Oxide (K2O) is formed when potassium forms ionic bonds with the Oxide (O2-) ions. i.e. This reaction is a neutralization reaction and occurs when an acid (HCl) reacts with a base (KOH).

Calculate the density for a rectangular block using the following measurements: Length = 10 cm, Width = 1.1 cm, Height = 15 cm,

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

0.40 g/cm3

Explanation:

density = mass / volume.

mass = 65.2 grams

volume = 10*1.1*15=165 cm3

so density = 65.2/165=0.40 g/cm3
