You are assigned the task of separating a desired granular material, with a density of 3.26 g/cm3, from an undesired granular ma

terial that has a density of 2.04 g/cm3. You want to do this by shaking the mixture in a liquid. A solid will float on any liquid that is more dense. Using an Internet-based source, find the densities of the following substances: carbon tetrachl oride, hexane, benzene, and diiodomethane. Which of these liquids will serve your purpose, assuming no chemical interaction between the liquid and the solids?

Answer:

diiodomethane

Explanation:

The densities of each of the liquids mentioned in the question are stated below;

CCl4- 1.59 g/cm^3

Hexane- 0.672 g/cm^3

Benzene- 0.8765 g/cm^3

Diiodomethane- 3.3 g/cm^3

Clearly, the density of diiodomethane methane is almost the same as that of the desired granular material, hence the undesired granular material having a density of 2.04 g/cm3 will float in diiodomethane thus separating the two granular materials.

Calculate the number of carbon atoms in 25.0 grams of isopropyl alcohol (c3h8o)
allochka39001 [22]
First, let's determine the number of moles of carbon atoms by using molar mass. Then, using Avogadro's number, we can find the number of C atoms:
*1 mole of C3H8O= (12.0x3)+(1.0x8)+(16.0x1) = 60.0g/mol

25.0 grams C3H8O x (1 mole C3H8O/60.0 grams) = 0.417 mol

0.417mol C3H8O has (3 x 0.417 moles) C atoms = 1.251 moles C atoms

1.251 moles C atoms x(6.022x10^23 atoms/mol) = 9.42x10^23 C atoms.

The answer is in 3 significant figures, as that's what we have in the given, and we matched it with our rounding of the atomic masses from the periodic table.
You can do this all in one equation written left to right, just exclude the intermediate answers. Just easier to show it this way on the computer screen.

Explain why you cannot just take away a proton to make a halogen negative.​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The force that holds protons and neutrons together is too strong to overcome.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Consider the location of the particles in an atom.

  • Electrons are found outside the nucleus.
  • Protons and neutrons are found within the nucleus.

Protons carry positive charges and repel each other. The nucleus will break apart without the strong force that holds the protons and neutrons together. This force is much stronger than the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. X-rays are energetic enough for removing electrons from an atom. However, you'll need a collider to remove protons from a stable nucleus. You could well have ionized the atom with all that energy.

Also, changing the number of protons per nucleus will convert the halogen atom to an atom of a different element. Rather than making the halogen negative, removing a proton will convert the halogen atom to the negative ion of a different element.

Several amino acids are intermediates of the urea cycle, having side ammonia groups that join with free carbon dioxide (CO2) and
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

A. Arginine

Explanation:

The urea cycle is the cycle of the biochemical reactions which produces urea from ammonia.

Steps of the urea cycle:

  • Carbamoyl phosphate, in presence of ornithine transcarbamoylase is converted to citrulline by the denotation of carbamoyl phosphate groupto ornithine and a phosphate group is released.
  • Amino group of the aspartate and carbonyl group of the citrulline are condensed to form argininosuccinate in the presence of enzyme, argininosuccinate synthetase. This condensation reaction is ATP dependent.
  • <u>Argininosuccinate then undergoes cleavage by the argininosuccinase to form intermediate, arginine and fumarate.</u>
  • <u>Arginine is then cleaved by the arginase to form urea as well as ornithine.</u> Ornithine is transported back to mitochondria to begin urea cycle again.

Exactly 500 grams of ice are melted at a temperature of 32°f. (lice = 333 j/g.) calculate the change in entropy (in j/k). (give
denpristay [2]
Entropy Change is calculated  by (Energy transferred) / (Temperature in kelvin) 
deltaS = Q / T 

Q = (mass)(latent heat of fusion) 
Q = m(hfusion) 
Q = (500g)(333J/g) = 166,500J 

T(K) = 32 + 273.15 = 305.15K 
deltaS = 166,500J / 305.15K 
deltaS = 545.63 J/K
