Explanation:

Bacteria play a key role in the nitrogen cycle.

Nitrogen-fixing microorganisms capture atmospheric nitrogen by converting it to ammonia— NH3start text, N, H, end text, start subscript, 3, end subscript—which can be taken up by plants and used to make organic molecules.

What is the approximate size of solute particles in a solution?

murzikaleks [220]

The approximate size of solute particles in a solution is 1 nanometer.

Explanation:

Solute and solvent are the two components required to prepare a solution. Solute is the one which is dissolved in the solvent to prepare a solution. So solute should be of lesser concentration compared to the solvent. Also the particle size of solute should be lesser in size compared to the solvent for easy diffusion and substitution. Mostly it is seen that if the solute is finer and having a size of less than 1 nanometer can be easily dissolved in the solvent.

So for forming homogeneous solutions, the solute is considered to be of materials having the particle size of 1 nanometer for perfect dissolving.

Thus, the approximate size of solute particles in solution is 1 nanometer.

How much energy is needed to vaporize 75.0 g of diethyl ether (c4h10o) at its boiling point (34.6°c), given that δhvap of diethy

malfutka [58]

Answer: 26.8 kJ of energy is needed to vaporize 75.0 g of diethyl ether

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the moles of diethyl ether

$\text{Moles of diethyl ether}=\frac{\text{Mass of diethyl ether}}{\text{Molar mass of diethyl ether}}=\frac{75.0g}{74g/mole}=1.01moles$

As, 1 mole of diethyl ether require heat = 26.5 kJ

So, 1.01 moles of diethyl ether require heat = $\frac{26.5}{1}\times 1.01=26.8kJ$

Thus 26.8 kJ of energy is needed to vaporize 75.0 g of diethyl ether

Be sure to answer all parts. find the most acidic hydrogen in tert−butyl methyl ketone and write a chemical equation for the pro

sleet_krkn [62]

Those Hydrogen atoms which are present at alpha position to carbonyl group are mildly acidic in nature. When such acidic proton containing carbonyl compounds are treated with strong base, they yield enolates. The negative charge created on alpha carbon resonates and shifts to carbonyl oxygen resulting in formation of carbon double bond carbon.

In tert−butyl methyl ketone there are two carbons at each alpha position. Among these two carbons only methyl carbon contains hydrogen atoms while the second one is bonded to further three carbons making it Quaternary carbon. The base abstracts proton from methyl group and enolate is formed.

tert−butyl methyl ketone in this case acts as acid, Hydroxyl ion acts as base, while the enolate generated is the conjugate base of tert−butyl methyl ketone and Water produced is the conjugate acid of hydroxide ion.
