Look up the physical properties of several of the compounds you will be making in your lab from several different places on the Internet. Do you believe them all to be correct?
Interpretation:
Look up the physical properties of several of the compounds which will be making in chemistry lab from several different places on the Internet, do you believe them all to be correct or not is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Properties of Organic Compounds:Organic compounds are those whosechemicalformula have at least one carbon atom, and often contain a hydrogen atom as well. The bonds formed between the carbon and hydrogen atoms to form a hydrocarbon arevery strong and the resulting compoundis often essential to living things. They show characteristics of covalent compounds like they have low meltingand boiling points and generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.
Answer to Problem 1E
No, not all thephysical properties of several of the compounds which will be making in chemistry lab from several different places on the Internet are correct.
Explanation of Solution
Physical properties of compounds typically of interest include both quantitative and qualitative features. Quantitative properties include melting point, boiling point, index of refraction, etc. and qualitative properties include odor, consistency, solubility, and color, etc.
Values of physical properties are slightly different, on different websites. For example, boiling point of benzoic acid on Wikipedia is 250℃ while on chemfinder its 249℃.
Thephysical properties of several of the compounds which will be making in chemistry lab from several different places on the Internet are notexactly same but values of theses physical properties slightly varies.

- Name two halogens. Look up each of your choices in a dictionary, in a book such as The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, or on the Internet, and make a list of their properties. Also list any uses of each element that are given by the source.arrow_forwardThe mass of magnesium used in this experiment is critical to determining the moles of hydrogen gas generated. The analytical balances used in Chemistry 1A labs are very sensitive to point that touching materials with your fingers before measuring them can affect the measurements. The balances are sensitive enough to detect dirt and oils from your fingers transferred to the magnesium. Would your experimental value of R increase or decrease if the mass of magnesium measured was artificially high due the touching it with your hands? Increase Decreasearrow_forwardGas chromatography is an analytical technique that is used to separate and analyze samples that can be vaporized without decomposing. The chromatography column contains a substance that helps separate the sample being analyzed. The sample is vaporized and carried through the column by an inert gas. As the mixture moves through the column, the compounds are separated based on how much they interact with the substance in the column. The molecules of each compound are detected as they exit the column, and a peak for each compound is produced on a chromatogram. The area under each peak on the chromatogram is proportional to the concentration of the compound in the sample. A chromatogram produced by separating a mixture of compounds is shown. Time to Go Through Column Based on the information given, which of the following statements about the chromatogram is most likely true? A The three peaks each represent a different element. B The three peaks each represent a different substance used to…arrow_forward
- You are a researcher in a geochemistry laboratory. A colleague brought to you a new mineral that you have never seen before. You need to identify all of the elements and their quantities in this mineral. You turn the mineral into a powder and put the mineral into multiple scientific machines to determine what it is made of. Your sample contained the following elements and amounts. • 160 grams of oxygen 120 grams of silicon • • 80 grams of aluminum . 16 grams of magnesium 32 grams of calcium. . 4 grams of uranium. Determine the mass percent of the different components in your soil sample. • 29. Oxygen 30. Silicon 31. Aluminum 32. Magnesium 33. Calcium 34. Uraniumarrow_forwardThe plot below from your book does NOT have data for ammonia. 1.0 T2.00 T1.50 0.8 T-1.20 0.6 T1.10 0.4 • Nitrogen * Methane a Ethane o Ethylene - Propane an-Butane - Isopentane n-Heptane . Carbon dioxide *Water 0.2 T=1.00 0.0 4. PR However, you can use this plot (an example of the law of corresponding states) to calculate the molar volume (V) of ammonia at a temperature and pressure of interest. What information do you need in order to do this? O The critical temperature and pressure for ammonia. The standard molar Gibbs energy for ammonia. O The normal boiling point for ammonia. O The vibrational spacing in ammonia.arrow_forwardThere are four sketches below. The first sketch shows a sample of Substance X. The three sketches underneath it show three different changes to the sample. You must decide whether each of these changes is possible. If a change is possible, you must also decide whether it is a physical change or a chemical change.arrow_forward

Question 3: Calculate the molar mass of each of the following ionic Compounds: A. KMnO4 B. Ca3(PO4)2arrow_forwardYou have a mole of ping pong balls and want to ship them to a near-by town. You have packing boxes that measure 24 inches by 24 inches by 18 inches. How many boxes do you need to pack up all the ping pong balls? The radius of a ping pong ball is 20 mm. If you make any approximations or assumptions, please list them.arrow_forwardElement Compound Molecule Density Precision Accuracy Choose at least 2 terms from the list, and answer the following questions for each term: What familiarity and prior knowledge do you have about the term? What does the term mean in everyday language to everyday people? Use examples to help describe your thoughts. How do people use the word? What does the term mean in technical language to chemists? How is the term related to the course student learning outcome: Explain matter at the microscopic level?

- Suppose you need 6.0 m of Grade 70 tow chain, which has a diameter of 3/8" and weighs 2.16 kg/m, to tow a car. How would you calculate the mass of this much chain? Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression. Also, be sure your answer includes all the correct unit symbols. mass of chain- 0.0 X H 0²arrow_forwardCalculate the number of atoms in 264. µg of cadmium. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures. Note: Reference the SI prefixes and Fundamental constants table for additional information. Cd atoms 0 x10 Xarrow_forwardCompounds are combinations of elements. The combination of those elements is specific to the compound. Some compounds have the exact same elements but in different amounts. Look at C6H12O6, which you hopefully recognize as glucose (think cellular respiration and photosynthesis. But ribose is a 5 carbon sugar and its formula is C5H10O5 which you hopefully recognize (think RNA). They both have the same elements, but have different numbers of each element (sugars all have the 1:2:1 ratio). When you're looking at a formula, it's wise to look for the capital letters. That indicates when a different element is present. For glucose, there's a capital C - carbon, a capital H - hydrogen, and a capital O - oxygen. Behind elements, the subscripts help indicate the number of each element that's present. In glucose, there are 6 carbons, 12 hydrogens, and 6 oxygens. How many carbons, hydrogens, and oxygens does ribose have in its formula?arrow_forward
