In order to find out the %mass dolomite in the soil, calculate for the mass of dolomite using the information given from the titration procedure. You would need to multiply 57.85 ml with 0.3315 M HCl and you would get the amount of HCl in millimoles. Then multiply the amount of HCl with 1/2 (given that for every 1 mol of dolomite, 2 mol of HCl would be needed). Convert the amount of dolomite to mass by multiplying the millimoles with the molecular weight which is 184.399. Then convert the mass to grams which is 1.768 grams. Divide the mass of dolomite (1.768 grams) with the weight of soil sample. The % mass is 7.17.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

a. withdraws electrons inductively

b. donates electrons by hyperconjugation

c. donates electrons by resonance

d.  withdraws electrons inductively

Explanation:

a.  The bromide ion is a highly electronegative ion (in the halide series). Electronegative substituents on acids increase the acidity by inductive electron withdrawal method. The higher the electronegativity of a substance, the greater the acidity. The halogens have this order of electronegativity:

F > Cl > Br>I

b.  The carboxyl groups have a stabilization of the sigma and pi bonds. This is achieved through a special delocalization of electrons.  Because of the delocalization, hyperconjugation is the result effect.

c. The NHCH₃ group has a highly electonegative nitrogen atom that pulls the electron cloud towards itself. In this case, it withdraws electrons inductively. As a result, it donates electrons by resonance.

d. The OCH₃ group has a highly electonegative oxygen atom. This oxygen atom withdraws electron cloud towards itself. As a result, it withdraws electrons inductively.

Why does silver iodide have a higher melting point than vanillin
MAVERICK [17]
AgI has a higher melting point than vanillin because it is an ionic compound. The bonds are held more tightly together than in vanillin because it is a covalent compound. Ionic bonds have a higher melting point because the electrons are being transferred from one atom to the other.

_________is a process in which o2 is released as a by-product of oxidation-reduction reactions
Kisachek [45]

Answer : The combustion is a process in which oxygen is released as a by-product of oxidation-reduction reactions.

Explanation :

Combustion reaction : It is defined as the reactions in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water.

The chemical equation of combustion reaction is:

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

The combustion reaction is also a redox reaction.

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

The combustion reaction is also a redox reaction in which the carbon shows oxidation by the addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen and oxygen shows reduction by the addition of hydrogen or removal of oxygen.

Hence, the combustion is a process in which oxygen is released as a by-product of oxidation-reduction reactions.

Which two scenarios illustrate the relationship between pressure and volume as described by Boyle’s law?
Airida [17]

The correct answer is option 2 and 3.

The two scenarios that illustrate the relationship between pressure and volume as described by Boyle’s law are as follows:

2. The volume of an underwater bubble increases as it rises and the pressure decreases.

3. The pressure increases in an inflated plastic bag when the bag is stepped on.

According to Boyle's law, pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature. This means that pressure rises as the volume increases and vice versa.

How many moles are there in 8.50 X 1024 molecules of sodium sulfate, Na2SO3?
DiKsa [7]
Hello!

To solve this question, we need to use the Avogadro's Number, which is a constant first discovered by Amadeo Avogadro, an Italian scientist. He discovered that in a mole of a substance, there are 6,02*10²³ molecules. Using this relationship, we apply the following conversion factor:

8,50* 10^{24}molecules* \frac{1 mol Na_2SO_3}{6,02* 10^{23}molecules}=14,12 molesNa_2SO_3

So, 8,50 * 10²⁴ molecules of Na₂SO₃ represent 14,12 moles of Na₂SO₃
