Why are chemical sanitizers ineffective in killing microbes present in cracks and crevices?

1 answer:

6 0

Microbes are so small that they are able to "hide" in the cracks and crevices in your hand even with the help of sanitizer it only kills 99% not 100% so font dump that soap yet because you'll be wanting to kill that 1% that is causing you disease and fermintation

The use of phenol (carbolic acid) as a wound disinfectant was first practiced by:

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The use of phenol (carbolic acid) as a wound disinfectant was first practiced by Lister. The correct option is E

Explanation:

Phenol( carbolic acid) is an aromatic organic compound. It has the following properties:

- it's soluble in water

- it's a weak acid and

- highly reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution

In Medical field, phenol was first used as an antiseptic by Joseph Lister.Joseph Lister was a student at University College London under Robert Liston, later rising to the rank of Surgeon at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He believed that patients who passed through surgery, died due to infections caused by microorganisms.He theorized that if germs could be killed or prevented, no infection would occur. Lister reasoned that a chemical could be used to destroy the micro-organisms that cause infection. He made use of the carbolic acid by soaking a clean cloth in them, and placing it over the surgical wounds of patients.

Write the balanced equation for the reaction of aqueous Pb ( ClO 3 ) 2 with aqueous NaI . Include phases. chemical equation: Wha

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: The mass of lead iodide produced is 9.22 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of NaI = 0.200 M

Volume of solution = 0.200 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.200M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaI}}{0.200}\\\\\text{Moles of NaI}=(0.200mol/L\times 0.200L)=0.04moles$

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaI and lead chlorate follows:

$Pb(ClO_3)_2(aq.)+2NaI(aq.)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)+2NaClO_3(aq.)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaI reacts produces 1 mole of lead iodide

So, 0.04 moles of NaI will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.04=0.02mol$ of lead iodide

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Molar mass of lead iodide = 461 g/mol

Moles of lead iodide= 0.02 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.02mol=\frac{\text{Mass of lead iodide}}{461g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of lead iodide}=(0.02mol\times 461g/mol)=9.22g$

Hence, the mass of lead iodide produced is 9.22 grams
