Explain your thoughts on whether or not using solely IR is a good method to make positive IDs of chemicals.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Fed [463]3 years ago
6 0

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.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1.7 ppm

Explanation:

Original amount N' = 2.6 ppm

time to testing t = 24 hr

final amount N = 2.1 ppm

Using exponential inhibited decay, we have

N = N'e^(-kt)

Where

N is the new reading

N' is the original reading

t is the decay time

k is the decay constant

Substituting, we have

2.1 = 2.6 x e^(-k x 24)

2.1 = 2.6 x e^(-24k)

0.808 = e^(-24k)

We take the natural log of both sides of the equation

Ln 0.808 = Ln (e^(-24k))

-0.213 = - 24k

K = 0.213/24 = 0.00886

After 48 hrs, the reading of free chlorine will be

N = 2.6 x e^(-0.00886 x 48)

N = 2.6 x e^(-0.425)

N = 2.6 x 0.654

N = 1.7 ppm

Part A:
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Part A = The mass of sulfur is 6.228 grams

Part B = The mass of 1 silver atom is 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

Explanation:

Part A

Step 1: Data given

A mixture of carbon and sulfur has a mass of 9.0 g

Mass of the product = 27.1 grams

X = mass carbon

Y = mass sulfur

x + y = 9.0  grams

x = 9.0 - y

x(molar mass CO2/atomic mass C) + y(molar mass SO2/atomic mass S) = 22.6

(9 - y)*(44.01/12.01) + y(64.07/32.07)

(9-y)(3.664) + y(1.998)

32.976 - 3.664y + 1.998y = 22.6

-1.666y = -10.376

y = 6.228 = mass sulfur

x = 9.0 - 6.228 = 2.772 grams = mass C

The mass of sulfur is 6.228 grams

Part B

Calculate the mass, in grams, of a single silver atom (mAg = 107.87 amu ).

Calculate moles of 1 silver atom

Moles = 1/ 6.022*10^23

Moles = 1.66*10^-24 moles

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass = 1.66*10 ^-24 moles *107.87

Mass = 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

The mass of 1 silver atom is 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

The atomic number tells us how many __ or __ an element contains.
CaHeK987 [17]
Answer:-
Electrons or Protons

Explanation:-
Atomic number (Z) is defined as:
>>“The total number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is called atomic number”. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons and electrons.
>>“The total number of protons in the nucleus or electrons revolving around the nucleus of an atom”.
Example:
For instance, Hydrogen has the Atomic number(Z) 1.
Helium has the atomic number 2.
Oxygen has the atomic number 8.
| Note | Atomic number is represented by “Z”. And some ppl don’t consider the 2nd definition it’s upto u to do both or the standard one.
