Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The five safety features that are found in the laboratory should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Lab safety is of paramount importance. Lab equipment and chemicals like acids that are handled improperly can cause serve injuries and even death and therefore, for emergency or the accidentally time certain some safety equipment should be present in the laboratory
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The five safety features of the laboratory are as follows:
- Fire extinguisher: A portable device which discharges a jet of foam, water, gas, or other material to extinguish a fire.
- First aid kit: A bag or case that contains basic medical supplies is designed to be used when someone is injured.
- Chemical fume hoods: A chemical and fire-resistant enclose with a movable window at the front allows the user access to the interior that is a safe zone.
- Fire blankets: Fire blanketsare used to smoother a fire that involves someone's clothes.
- Safety showers: It dumps a huge amount of water in a short period of time and a very effective method in case when a person's clothes are ablaze.

1. Plot the given data on an ordinary paper and find the slope for each line then calculate the
IDR constant for aspirin in the two dissolution media, water and HCI.
NOTE: Slope of the calibration curve = 1.0 (mg/ml and saturation solubility of salicylic acid
is equal to 2.0 gm/L.
Every valentine’s day, CVS sells chocolate-covered cherries. The chocolate-covered cherries are like a mini cake with a cherry inside. The cake comprises a combination of sucrose (powder sugar), butter, cherry juice, and an enzyme (invertase).

While stored at 5.00C, the sucrose hydrolyzes to produce glucose and fructose. The mixture of the glucose and fructose is a liquid called invert sugar. Below you will find the concentration of sucrose in the cake as a function of time. For the cherries to be edible, the 85% of the sucrose must be hydrolyzed.
Before you start to answer the question, create a data table that comprises sucrose concentration in units of moles per liter.
Write the chemical reaction that demonstrates the hydrolysis of sucrose.
With the data, determine how long it will take for 85% of the sucrose to be converted into…
