Answer:
b. mercury
Explanation:
Fishes and some other sea foods are are known to concentrate mercury in their bodies. Consumption of these products gradually accumulate mercury in the body over time.
More specifically, fishes like swordfish, king mackerel and shark are known to concentrate higher amount of mercury than other species of fishes. Hence, limiting their consumption will protect humans from mercury poisoning.
The correct option is b.
Yes, o-toluic acid is soluble in ether as ether is slightly polar and it is soluble in NaOH because it is likely to form soluble compounds with it.
Naphthalene is insoluble in NaOH.
Solving part-1 only
#1
KMnO_4
- Transition metal is Manganese (Mn)
#2
Actually it's the oxidation number of Mn
Let's find how?




- x is the oxidation number
#3
- Purple as per the color of potassium permanganate

1.062 mol/kg.
<em>Step 1</em>. Write the balanced equation for the neutralization.
MM = 204.22 40.00
KHC8H4O4 + NaOH → KNaC8H4O4 + H2O
<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the moles of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP)
Moles of KHP = 824 mg KHP × (1 mmol KHP/204.22 mg KHP)
= 4.035 mmol KHP
<em>Step 3</em>. Calculate the moles of NaOH
Moles of NaOH = 4.035 mmol KHP × (1 mmol NaOH/(1 mmol KHP)
= 4.035 mmol NaOH
<em>Step 4</em>. Calculate the mass of the NaOH
Mass of NaOH = 4.035 mmol NaOH × (40.00 mg NaOH/1 mmol NaOH)
= 161 mg NaOH
<em>Step 5</em>. Calculate the mass of the water
Mass of water = mass of solution – mass of NaOH = 38.134 g - 0.161 g
= 37.973 g
<em>Step 6</em>. Calculate the molal concentration of the NaOH
<em>b</em> = moles of NaOH/kg of water = 0.040 35 mol/0.037 973 kg = 1.062 mol/kg
