(a)
Interpretation:
The percentage by mass of each element in C6H12 has to be calculated.
(a)

Explanation of Solution
First the molar mass of C6H12 has to be calculated.
6(C) 6×12.01u=72.06u12(H)12×1.01u=12.12u--------------------------Molecular mass C6H12 = 84.18u.
Thus one mole of C6H12 has a mass of 84.18 g that comes from 72.06g carbon, and 12.12g hydrogen. These values are used to express the mass composition of the compound as percentages.
%C: 72.06gC84.18g C6H12×100%=85.6%C%H: 12.12 gH84.18g C6H12×100% = 14.4%H
(b)
Interpretation:
The percentage by mass of each element in C5H12O has to be calculated.
(b)

Explanation of Solution
First the molar mass of C5H12O has to be calculated.
5(C) 5×12.01u=60.05u12(H) 12×1.01u=12.12u1(O) 1 × 15.999u = 15.999 u--------------------------Molecular mass C5H12O = 88.169u.
Thus one mole of C5H12O has a mass of 88.169 g that comes from 60.05g carbon, 12.12g hydrogen and 15.999 g oxygen. These values are used to express the mass composition of the compound as percentages.
%C: 60.05gC88.169g C5H12O×100%=68.11%C%H: 12.12 gH88.169g C5H12O×100% = 13.75%H%O: 15.999 gO88.169g C5H12O×100% = 18.15%O
(c)
Interpretation:
The percentage by mass of each element in NiCl2 has to be calculated.
(c)

Explanation of Solution
First the molar mass of NiCl2 has to be calculated.
1(Ni) 1×58.69u=58.69u2(Cl) 2×35.45u=70.9u--------------------------Molecular mass NiCl2 = 129.59u.
Thus one mole of NiCl2 has a mass of 129.59 g that comes from 58.69g nickel and 70.9 g chlorine. These values are used to express the mass composition of the compound as percentages.
%Ni: 58.69gNi129.59g NiCl2×100%=45.29%Ni%Cl: 70.9 gCl129.59g NiCl2×100% = 54.71%Cl

Why is there the difference in separation time for SFC versus HPLC? Hint, use the Van Deemter plot as a guide in answering this question. Why, fundamentally, would you expect a faster separation for SFC than HPLC, in general?arrow_forwardA certain inorganic cation has an electrophoretic mobility of 5.27 x 10-4 cm2s-1V-1. The same ion has a diffusion coefficient of 9.5 x 10-6cm2s-1. If this ion is separated from cations by CZE with a 75cm capillary, what is the expected plate count, N, at an applied voltage of 15.0kV? Under these separation conditions, the electroosmotic flow rate was 0.85mm s-1 toward the cathode. If the detector was 50.0cm from the injection end of the capillary, how long would it take in minutes for the analyte cation to reach the detector after the field was applied?arrow_forward
- 2.arrow_forwardPlease solve for the following Electrochemistry that occursarrow_forwardCommercial bleach contains either chlorine or oxygen as an active ingredient. A commercial oxygenated bleach is much safer to handle and less likely to ruin your clothes. It is possible to determine the amount of active ingredient in an oxygenated bleach product by performing a redox titration. The balance reaction for such a titration is: 6H+ +5H2O2 +2MnO4- à 5O2 + 2Mn2+ + 8H2O If you performed the following procedure: “First, dilute the Seventh Generation Non-Chlorine Bleach by pipetting 10 mL of bleach in a 100 mL volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with distilled water. Next, pipet 10 mL of the diluted bleach solution into a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask and add 20 mL of 1.0 M H2SO4 to the flask. This solution should be titrated with 0.0100 M KMnO4 solution.” It took 18.47mL of the KMnO4 to reach the endpoint on average. What was the concentration of H2O2 in the original bleach solution in weight % assuming the density of bleach is 1g/mL?arrow_forward
