A laboratory utilizes a mixture of 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the freezing and long-term storage of embryonic stem cells.

If DMSO has a specific gravity of 1.1004, calculate the specific gravity, to four decimal places, of the mixture (assume water to be the 90% portion).

Answer:

The correct answer is "1.0100".

Explanation:

Let the volume of mixture be 100 ml.

then,

The volume of DMSO will be 10 mL as well as that of water will be 90 mL.

DMSO will be:

= $10\times 1.1004$

= $11.004 \ g$

The total mass of mixture will be:

= $90+11.004$

= $101.004 \ g$

Density of mixture will be:

= $\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

= $\frac{101.004}{100}$

= $1.01004 \ g/mL$

hence,

Specific gravity of mixture will be:

= $\frac{Density \ of \ mixture}{Density \ of \ water}$

= $\frac{1.01004}{1}$

= $1.0100$

For each of the following compounds, state whether it is ionic or covalent, and if it is ionic, write the symbols for the ions i

kupik [55]

Answer :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

All the polyatomic ions always form an ionic compound.

Polyatomic ions : It is a charged species that composed of two or more atoms and these charged species are bonded by the covalent bond.

For the given options:

Option A: $KClO_4$

This compound is formed by the combination of potassium, $K^+$ which is a metal and $ClO_4^-$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option B: $Mg(C_2H_3O_2)_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of magnesium, $Mg^{2+}$ which is a metal and $C_2H_3O_2^{-}$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option C: $H_2S$

Hydrogen and sulfur, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option D: $Ag_2S$

This compound is formed by the combination of silver, $Ag^{+}$ which is a metal and sulfur, $S^{2-}$ which is a non-metal. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option E: $N_2Cl_4$

Nitrogen and chlorine, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option F: $Co(NO_3)_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of cobalt, $Co^{2+}$ which is a metal and $NO_3^{-}$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Calculate the pH of a buffer solution prepared by dissolving 0.20 mole of cyanic acid (HCNO) and 0.80 mole of sodium cyanate (Na

Afina-wow [57]

The pH of a buffer solution : 4.3

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

0.2 mole HCNO

0.8 mole NaCNO

1 L solution

Required

pH buffer

Solution

Acid buffer solutions consist of weak acids HCNO and their salts NaCNO.

$\tt \displaystyle [H^+]=Ka\times\frac{mole\:weak\:acid}{mole\:salt\times valence}$

valence according to the amount of salt anion

Input the value :

$\tt \displaystyle [H^+]=2.10^{-4}\times\frac{0.2}{0.8\times 1}\\\\(H^+]=5\times 10^{-5}\\\\pH=5-log~5\\\\pH=4.3$

A 24.1-g mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide is found to occupy a volume of 15.1 L when measured at 870.2 mmHg and 31.2oC. Wh

zmey [24]

Answer:

Mole fraction of nitrogen = 0.52

Explanation:

Given data:

Temperature = 31.2 °C

Pressure = 870.2 mmHg

Volume = 15.1 L

Mass of mixture = 24.1 g

Mole fraction of nitrogen = ?

Solution:

Pressure conversion:

870.2 /760 = 1.12 atm

Temperature conversion:

31.2 + 273 = 304.2 K

Total number of moles:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 1.12 atm × 15.1 L / 0.0821 L.atm. mol⁻¹.K⁻¹ × 304.2 K

n = 16.9 L.atm. /25 L.atm. mol⁻¹

n = 0.676 mol

Number of moles of nitrogen are = x

Then the number of moles of CO₂ = 0.676 - x

Mass of nitrogen = x mol . 28 g/mol and for CO₂ Mass = 44 g/mol ( 0.676 - x)

24.1 = 28x + ( 29.7 -44x)

24.1 - 29.7 = 28x - 44x

-5.6 = -16 x

x = 0.35

Mole fraction of nitrogen:

Mole fraction of nitrogen = moles of nitrogen / total number of moles

Mole fraction of nitrogen = 0.35 mol / 0.676 mol

Mole fraction of nitrogen = 0.52

Select the statement(s) that explain(s) the relationship between the arrangement of elements by size and first ionization energy

kow [346]

c. A full s subshell is able to shield a newly filled p subshell from the nucleus, making the first electron in a p subshell easy to remove.

Explanation:

From the given options, a full s-sublevel is able to shield a newly filled p-subshell from the nucleus thereby making the first electron in a p-subshell easy to remove is correct.

What is ionization energy?

Ionization energy is a measure of the readiness of an atom to lose an electron.

First ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron in the gas phase.

The size of an atom/element depends on the number of electrons it contains. The more the electrons, the larger its size.

The larger an atom becomes the lesser the ionization energy needed to remove the first electron from its outermost shell.

Electron - electron repulsion occurs when two electrons in the same sub-level repels one another.

Shielding effect is the ability of the inner electrons to protect the outer electrons from the pull of the nuclear charge.

In option C, a s-subshell has a greater shielding effect than the p,d and f sub-shell in that order.

A newly introduced electron in the p-sublevel will be loosely held and easier to remove.
