In a typical mass spectrum, a smaller signal is observed at a mass 1 amu higher than the molecular ion peak. Why
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Answer is explained below in the explanation section

Explanation:

Smaller signal is observed at a mass 1 amu because small percentage of the compound will have carbon isotope of 13C instead of 12C.

As we know, mass spectrometry is done as a small compound is first vaporized and then bombarded to ionize it. And then, those ions are accelerated forward and then at some point ions are separated and deflected by the application of magnetic field.

And finally hits the detector to give us a spectrum to read. So, in this whole procedure, there can be a small percentage of carbon isotope of 13C instead of 12C in that compound and showed in the spectrum as a smaller signal at a mass 1 amu.

Use the following table to answer the question. Strong acids Weak acids Weak bases Strong bases HBr CH3COOH NH3 NaOH HCl HF NH4O
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: The salt which has the highest pH is CH_3COONa

Explanation: Salts are formed by the reaction of acid and base. General equation for the generation of salt is given by:

HX+BOH\rightarrow BX+H_2O

The given salts are formed from the reaction of acids and bases.

1) K_2SO_4

This is a salt formed by the reaction of strong base (KOH) and strong acid (H_2SO_4) . So, this salt is a neutral salt.

H_2SO_4+2KOH\rightarrow K_2SO_4+2H_2O

2) CuSO_4

This is a salt which is formed by the reaction of weak base (Cu(OH)_2) and strong acid (H_2SO_4). So, this salt is an acidic salt.

H_2SO_4+Cu(OH)_2\rightarrow CuSO_4+2H_2O

3) NH_4Cl

This is a salt which is formed by the reaction of weak base (NH_3) and strong acid (HCl). So, this salt is an acidic salt.

HCl+NH_3\rightarrow NH_4Cl

4) CH_3COONa

This is a salt which is formed by the reaction of  strong base (NaOH) and weak acid (CH_3COOH). So, this salt is a basic salt.

CH_3COOH+NaOH\rightarrow CH_3COONa+H_2O

Now, we have to find the salt which has the highest pH value.

Highest pH value means that the salt must be basic in nature and from the given salts, only CH_3COONa is basic salt. Hence, this salt has the highest pH value.

What adaptation do lungfish have te help them walk and live on land?
Viktor [21]

Answer: biological adaptation

Explanation:

lungfish's lung is a biological adaptation. A biological adaptation is a physical change in an organism that develops over time. Like all fish, lungfish have organs known as gills to extract oxygen from water. The biological adaptation of the lung allows lungfish to also extract oxygen from the air.

I hope this helps :).

Arrange the steps in order to describe how photons and carbon dioxide contribute to the warming of earth
adell [148]

Answer:

The steps are arranged in the following order, describing how carbon dioxide and photons  impact the earth's warming.

Explanation:

The sequence is in the following order;

  1. The sun radiated sunlight (visible) photons
  2. Photons from the sun strike the earth and become infrared photons
  3. Earth radiates infrared photons into the atmosphere
  4. CO2 in the atmosphere absorb infrared photons
  5. CO2 in the atmosphere emit infrared photons back towards earth

Carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules can absorb energy from infrared (IR) radiation. Due to vibrations caused by this absorption, the CO2 molecules later release extra energy by emitting another infrared photon.

This ability of CO2 molecules to absorb and re-emit infrared energy is what makes it an effective heat-trapping greenhouse gas.
