Two different ionic compounds each contain only copper and chlorine. Both compounds are powders, one white and one brown. An ele
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Elemental analysis involves the actual percentage compositions of each element in the sample of the compounds. We know that there are two different compounds here that both contain copper and oxygen. What we don't know is the actual number of copper or oxygen composed in the compounds.

An elemental composition of these compounds would thus tell us this and will give an idea of the chemical formula of each since we now know quite well the percentage composition of each of these elements

Which of these was not proposed by john dalton in 1805?
wel

Answer:

Atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons.

Explanation:

The Dalton's atomic theory was an early attempt at describing the properties of atoms. It stipulated that atoms were the smallest indivisible particle of a substance. Chemical reactions occur as a result of a combination or separation of atoms. Atoms of the same element are exactly alike and differ from atoms of other elements. Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.

As time went on, modern scientific evidence began to modify the original postulates of the Dalton's atomic theory. It was not postulated in 1805 that atoms were composed of subatomic particles; electrons, neutrons and protons. Dalton's theory held the atom to be 'indivisible'. However in 1897, JJ Thompson discovered the electron. Subsequently, the proton and neutrons were discovered. This shows that the atom in itself consisted of even smaller particles.

Which of these tasks falls under the responsibility of a forensic scientist?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Training officers in how to properly collect evidence

Explanation:

Forensic science is an interesting branch of science that involves the use of scientific procedures to solve a crime case. It encompasses collection of physical evidence from the crime scene and analyzing it in a laboratory using scientific means.

A forensic scientist is the individual in charge of performing these scientific procedures. His/her major role is to run the scientific analysis of the physical evidence brought in by the officers, however, he/she can also perform the task of training officers in how to properly collect evidence, in order not to damage the evidence or render it invalid for use.

Water treatment plants commonly use chlorination to destroy bacteria. a byproduct is chloroform (chcl3), a suspected carcinogen
antiseptic1488 [7]
<span>100. ppb of chcl3 in drinking water means  100 g of CHCl3 in 1,000,0000,000 g of water

Molarity, M

M = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in liters

number of moles of solute = mass of CHCl3 / molar mass of CHCl3

molar mass of CHCl3 = 119.37 g/mol

number of moles of solute = 100 g / 119.37 g/mol = 0.838 mol

using density of water = 1 g/ ml => 1,000,000,000 g = 1,000,000 liters

M = 0.838 / 1,000,000 = 8.38 * 10^ - 7 M <----- answer

Molality, m

m = number of moles of solute / kg of solvent

number of moles of solute = 0.838

kg of solvent = kg of water = 1,000,000 kg

m = 0.838 moles / 1,000,000 kg = 8.38 * 10^ - 7 m <----- answer

mole fraction of solute, X solute

X solute = number of moles of solute / number of moles of solution

number of moles of solute = 0.838

number of moles of solution = number of moles of solute + number of moles of solvent

number of moles of solvent = mass of water / molar mass of water = 1,000,000,000 g / 18.01528 g/mol = 55,508,435 moles

number of moles of solution = 0.838 moles + 55,508,435 moles = 55,508,436 moles

X solute = 0.838 / 55,508,435 = 1.51 * 10 ^ - 8 <------ answer

mass percent, %

% = (mass of solute / mass of solution) * 100 = (100g / 1,000,000,100 g) * 100 =

% = 10 ^ - 6 % <------- answer

You wish to extract an organic compound from an aqueous phase into an organic layer (three to six extractions on a marco scale).
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

It will be better to use solvents that are lighter than water, because their density has an influence on the miscibility . This will give you a better separation during extraction.
