Answer:

Simplest to complex

Atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest or basic unit of any substance or thing. therefore, it is simplest among given.

Two or more atoms joined together to form molecules. Therefore, molecules are complex than atoms.

Cell is the basic unit of life and a cell is made of many molecules and compounds. So, cells are more complex than molecules.

Several cells organised in a definite way to form tissue, so tissues are group of cells and perform a definite function inside a living thing. So, tissues are more complex than cell.

Organs consist of several cells and tissues and perform a specific functions. Therefore, organs are the most complex structure among given.

Therefore order from simplest to complex is as follows:

Atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs

The first step in the Ostwald process for producing nitric acid is 4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) --> 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g). If the reaction of

wel

Answer:

a. 77%

Explanation:

To solve the exercise, you need to know the limiting reagent. The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in the chemical reaction. The other reagent is known as an excess reagent, and it is the one left over in a chemical reaction.

To know if ammonia or oxygen is the limiting reagent, we should relate the weights of both compounds in the reaction. We know that 4NH3 (68 g) react with 5O2 (160 g), so we should find out how much NH3 is required to react with 150 g of O2:

160 g O2 _______ 68 g NH3

150 g O2 _______ x = 150 g * 68 g / 160 g = 63.75 g NH3

As we have 150 g of NH3 but only 63.75 g are required, we know that ammonia is the excess reagent, so oxygen is the reagent that limits the reaction and that we should use to calculate the percentage yield of the reaction.

In the reaction we observe that 5O2 (160 g) produces 4NO (120g), so:

160 g O2 ______ 120 g NO

150 g O2 ______ x = 150 g * 120 g / 160 g = 112.5 g NO

If the percent yield of the reaction were 100%, it would produce 112.5 g of NO, however only 87 g of NO were obtained, so we should find out what the percentage of reaction yield was:

112.5 g NO ______ 100%

87 g NO _______ x = 87g * 100% / 112.5 g = 77%

Thus we observe that the reaction had a yield of 77%.

27. Scott travels north 5 miles and then goes west 3 miles before coming straight back south 2 miles. What is his distance? *

belka [17]

Scott traveled 10 miles in his journey.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Scott first travels 5 miles in north direction, then he turns to west and covers 3 miles distance finally he turns to south and travels 2 miles. We need to find the total distance covered by the Scott. To find the distance we should sum up all the distances he covered in three directions 5 miles north + 3 miles west + 2 miles south = 10 miles.

Therefore we can conclude that the total distance traveled by the Scott is 10 miles.

Which choice(s) correctly rank(s) the bonds in terms of increasing polarity?

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

(II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity.

Explanation:

Bond polarity is proportional to difference in electronegativity between bonded atoms.

Atoms Electronegativity Bond Electronegativity difference

Cl 3.0 Cl-F 1.0

Br 2.8 Br-Cl 0.2

F 4.0 Cl-Cl 0

H 2.1 H-C 0.4

C 2.5 H-N 0.9

N 3.0 H-O 1.4

O 3.5 Br-F 1.2

I 2.7 I-F 1.3

Si 1.9 Cl-F 1.0

P 2.2 Si-Cl 1.1

Si-P 0.3

Si-C 0.6

Si-F 2.1

So, clearly, order of increasing polarity : O-H > N-H > C-H

So, (II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity

A mysterious white powder could be powdered sugar (C12H22O11), cocaine (C17H21NO4), codeine (C18H21NO3), norfenefrine (C8H11NO2)

rodikova [14]

Norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂).

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

We will solve a case related to one of the colligative properties, namely freezing point depression.

The freezing point of the solution is the temperature at which the solution begins to freeze. The difference between the freezing point of the solvent and the freezing point of the solution is called freezing point depression.

$\boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = T_f(solvent) - T_f(solution) \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = K_f \times molality \ }$

<u>Given:</u>

A mysterious white powder could be,

powdered sugar (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) with a molar mass of 342.30 g/moles,
cocaine (C₁₇H₂₁NO₄) with a molar mass of 303.35 g/moles,
codeine (C₁₈H₂₁NO₃) with a molar mass of 299.36 g/moles,
norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂) with a molar mass of 153.18 g/moles, or
fructose (C₆H₁₂O₆) with a molar mass of 180.16 g/moles.

When 82 mg of the powder is dissolved in 1.50 mL of ethanol (density = 0.789 g/cm³, normal freezing point −114.6°C, Kf = 1.99°C/m), the freezing point is lowered to −115.5°C.

<u>Question: </u>What is the identity of the white powder?

<u>The Process:</u>

Let us identify the solute, the solvent, initial, and final temperatures.

The solute = the powder
The solvent = ethanol
The freezing point of the solvent = −114.6°C
The freezing point of the solution = −115.5°C

Prepare masses of solutes and solvents.

Mass of solute = 82 mg = 0.082 g
Mass of solvent = density x volume, i.e., $\boxed{ \ 0.789 \ \frac{g}{cm^3} \times 1.50 \ cm^3 = 1.1835 \ g = 0.00118 \ kg \ }$

We must prepare the solvent mass unit in kg because the unit of molality is the mole of the solute divided by the mass of the solvent in kg.

The molality formula is as follows:

$\boxed{ \ m = \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{kg \ of \ solvent} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = \frac{mass \ of \ solute \ (g)}{molar \ mass \ of \ solute \times kg \ of \ solvent} \ }$

Now we combine it with the formula of freezing point depression.

$\boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = K_f \times \frac{mass \ of \ solute \ (g)}{molar \ mass \ of \ solute \times kg \ of \ solvent} \ }$

It is clear that we will determine the molar mass of the solute (denoted by Mr).

We enter all data into the formula.

$\boxed{ \ -114.6^0C - (-115.5^0C) = 1.99 \frac{^0C}{m} \times \frac{0.082 \ g}{Mr \times 0.00118 \ kg} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ 0.9 = \frac{1.99 \times 0.082}{Mr \times 0.00118} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ Mr = \frac{0.16318}{0.9 \times 0.00118} \ }$

We get $\boxed{ \ Mr = 153.65 \ }$

These results are very close to the molar mass of norfenefrine which is 153.18 g/mol. Thus the white powder is norfenefrine.
