Like many other organic solvents we will use this semester, ethanol is flammable and caution needs to be exercised when heating

ethanol on the hot plate. What precaution should always be taken when heating solvents on the hot plate?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A flammable solvent refers to a solvent that catches fire easily. The precautions to be taken when working with flammable solvents are;

1) heat the solvent at a low to medium hot plate setting.

2) if you need to boil the solvent, use a condenser rather than a flask or beaker without a cover.

3) make sure that the hotplate is larger than the vessel containing the mixture that is being heated.

4) do not use strong oxidizing agents

Pavlova-9 [17]

Using a more concentrated HCl solution and Crushing the CaCO₃ into a fine powder makes the reaction to occur at a faster rate.

<u>Explanation:</u>

CaCO₃(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl₂(aq) + H₂O(aq) + CO₂(g)

When calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid, it gives out carbon-dioxide in the form of bubbles and there is a formation of calcium chloride in aqueous medium.

The rate of the reaction can be increased by

  • Using a more concentrated HCl solution
  • Crushing the CaCO₃ into a fine powder

When concentrated acid is used instead of dilute acid then the reaction will occur at a faster rate.

When CaCO₃ is crushed into a fine powder then the surface area will increases thereby increasing the rate of the reaction.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

1) Conversion of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate by hexokinase

2) Conversion of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-biphosphate by phosphofructokinase

3) Conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate by pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

There are 10 steps in the glycolysis pathway, three of which are irreversible. The enzymes controlling these reactions have not only catalytic properties but the irreversibility of the reaction gives them regulatory properties as well.  These reactions serve as control points in the pathway.

A 100-W lightbulb is placed in a cylinder equipped with a moveable piston. The lightbulb is turned on for 0.020 h, and the assem
nasty-shy [4]

Answer: The workdone W = 505J

Explanation:

Applying the pressure-volume relationship

W= - PΔV

Where negative sign indicates the power is being delivered to the surrounding

W = - 1.0atm * ( 5.88 - 0.9)L

= - 1.0atm * (4.98)

W = -4.98 atmL

Converting to Joules

1atmL = 101.325J

-4.98atmL = x joules.

Work done in J = -4.98 * 101.325

W= -505J

Therefore the workdone is -505J

The plant food contains nh4)3po4 what tests would you run to verify the presence of the nh4 ion and the po4 ion
algol13

For the presence of ammonium ion, there is a need to add sodium hydroxide solution to the water and warm the mixture. Test any vapor that gets produced with damp red litmus paper. It should turn blue as ammonia gas is discharged, which is alkaline. The ionic equation for the reaction is:  

NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ ⇒ NH₃ + H₂O

For the presence of phosphate ions, the addition of barium ions is done. The ionic equation is:  

3Ba₂⁺ + 2PO4³⁻ ⇒ Ba₃ (PO₄)₂ (precipitate)
