A compound distributes between benzene (solvent 1) and water (solvent 2) with a distribution coefficient, K = 2.7. If 1.0g of th
mote1985 [20]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Solvent 1 = benzene,          Solvent 2 = water

 K_{p} = 2.7,         V_{S_{2}} = 100 mL

V_{S_{1}} = 10 mL,       weight of compound = 1 g

       Extract = 3

Therefore, calculate the fraction remaining as follows.

                  f_{n} = [1 + K_{p}(\frac{V_{S_{2}}}{V_{S_{1}}})]^{-n}

                                  = [1 + 2.7(\frac{100}{10})]^{-3}

                                  = (28)^{-3}

                                  = 4.55 \times 10^{-5}

Hence, weight of compound to be extracted = weight of compound - fraction remaining

                                  = 1 - 4.55 \times 10^{-5}

                                  = 0.00001

or,                               = 1 \times 10^{-5}

Thus, we can conclude that weight of compound that could be extracted is 1 \times 10^{-5}.

24. The air in a small 250 cm birthday balloon is at a pressure of 760 torr. A boy sits on it at
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

1.14atm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

V1 = 250cm³ ;

              1000cm³ = 1dm³;  so this is 0.25dm³

P1  = 760torr

            760torr  = 1atm

       

V2  = 220cm³ ; 0.22dm³

Unknown:

New pressure = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply Boyle's law and we use the expression below:

       P1 V1 = P2V2

The unknown is P2;

            1 x 0.25  = P2 x 0.22

                 P2  = 1.14atm

How does the use of hydroelectric energy compare to the use of coal?
lora16 [44]
<span>Hydroelectric energy uses the movement of water to spin a turbine and produce electricity. Coal is a fossil fuel that is burned as an energy source, which results in emissions such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfur. Coal use is associated with waste products both from the mining process to acquire the coal and also from the actual use of coal itself. Hydroelectric energy does not involve waste, but does pose potential problems to waterways. Coal use is more common than the use of hydroelectric energy.</span>
