The four corresponding figures and calculations are as follows

Explanation:

[HCL] initial = (10.00ml) (0.02140M) = 0.2140mmol

NaOH = (3.26ml) (0.0198M) = 0.0645mmol

The amount of NH3 generated in HCl will be the difference of 0.2140mmol minus 0.0645mmol = 0.1495mmol

Since 1 mol of N in protein yields 1 mol of NH3, there are 0.1495mmol of N

Molar mass of N = 14.0067mg per mol

(0.1495mmol) (14.0067mg/mL) = 2.094mg N

Given that the protein contains 16.2% N = 2.094mg N / 0.162 mg N = 12.93mg protein

12.95mg protein per 0.500L = 25.85mg protein per liter

Valproic acid, used to treat seizures and bipolar disorder, is composed of C, H, and O. A 0.165-g sample is combusted to produce
VMariaS [2675]

Answer:

The empirical formula is = C_4H_8O

The Valproic acid formula is = C_8H_{16}O_2

Explanation:

Mass of the produced water = 0.166 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

The moles of H_2O are calculated as 0.166 g /18 g/mol = 0.00922 moles.

In 1 mole of water, there are 2 moles of hydrogen atoms.

Thus,

Moles of H = 2 x 0.00922 = 0.01844 moles

Each hydrogen atom's molar mass is 1.008 g/mol.

Hydrogen mass in the molecule = 0.01844 x 1.008 = 0.018588 g

Mass of produced carbon dioxide = 0.403 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

The moles of CO_2 are calculated as 0.403 g  /44.01 g/mol = 0.009157 moles.

Each carbon atom's presence is 1 mole in 1 mole of carbon dioxide.

So,

Moles of C = 0.009157 moles

The molar mass of carbon is 12.0107 g/mol.

Carbon mass in molecule = 0.009157 x 12.0107 = 0.11 g

Since Valproic acid comprises only hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon, the oxygen mass in the sample = Total mass - Carbon mass  - Hydrogen mass.

The sample's overall mass = 0.165 g.

Oxygen mass in the sample = 0.165 - 0.11 - 0.018588 = 0.036412 g  

The molar mass of oxygen is 15.999 g/mol.

Moles of O  = 0.036412  / 15.999  = 0.002276 moles

Taking the simplest ratio for H, O, and C yields:

0.01844: 0.002276: 0.009157

= 8: 1: 4

The empirical formula becomes C_4H_8O

While molecular formulas detail the precise count of atoms for each element, empirical formulas represent the simplest form or reduced ratio of these elements in the compound.

Consequently,  

The molecular mass equals n × Empirical mass.

Here, n is a positive integer from 1, 2, 3...

Empirical mass = 4×12 + 8×1 + 16 = 72 g/mol.

Molar mass = 144 g/mol.

Thus,  

The molecular mass = n × Empirical mass.

144 = n × 72

⇒ n = 2

The Valproic acid formula is = C_8H_{16}O_2

Four students are developing a model to illustrate covalent and ionic substances dissolving in
Anarel [2593]

Students dealing with ionic bonds comprehend better how to convey what the model should showcase.

Explanation:

  • Upon dissolving ionic compounds in water, the compounds separate into their constituent ions via a process called dissociation.
  • The ions become attracted to water molecules, which carry a polar charge.
  • If the pull between the ions and the water molecules is strong enough to disband the ionic bonds, the compound dissolves.
  • The ions disperse in the solution, each surrounded by water molecules to inhibit reattachment.
  • The ionic solution forms an electrolyte, allowing it to conduct electricity.
  • In contrast, while covalent compounds do dissolve in water, they separate into molecules, not individual atoms.
  • Water acts as a polar solvent, yet covalent compounds are generally nonpolar.
  • This implies that covalent compounds often do not dissolve in water and instead form a distinct layer on top of the water.

Which items in this image are electrically conductive? Check all that apply.
Anarel [2593]
A indicates the power lines are what truly conducts (or transmits) the power.
Options B or E are incorrect, as wood is not a good conductor. That's why it's commonly used in homes to retain heat (which comes from electricity), preventing it from escaping.
Option C is also not correct since rubber, similarly, is a poor conductor. Like wood, it acts as an insulator, not transmitting heat (or electricity). This is why rubber gloves are utilized during electrical work.
Option D is valid—most metals are excellent electricity conductors. For instance, copper pans are efficient in cooking because copper effectively conducts heat. Being a metal, this is also why wire cutters have rubber grips; it isolates the user from potential electric shock from the conductive metal. The rubber serves as a barrier to protect against electrocution when handling wires or electricity.

A flask that can hold 158 g of water at 4oc can hold only 127 g of ethanol at the same temperature. what is the density of ethan
lions [2633]

Answer:

  • The density of ethanol measures 0.80 g/ml.

Explanation:

The density of water is known to be 1 g/ml, indicating that 158 g of water occupies a volume of 158 ml.

            d = m/v = 258/258 = 1 g/ml

This implies the volume will remain the same for ethanol.

            hence, the density of ethanol = 127/158 = 0.80 g/ml
