Question
Chapter U2, Problem 1STP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The smell of formic acid, CH2O2 needs to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Compounds have chemical and physical properties which help us to identify them. A physical property is a characteristic which can be predicted by physically examining the substance.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1STP
(D) Putrid.
Explanation of Solution
Formic acid is a colorless liquid and has a pungent odor at room temperature. It is soluble in most polar organic solvents.
The chemical composition is HCOOH. It is a vital intermediate in chemical synthesis and found naturally, most especially in some ants. Formic acid is an organic compound and they generally smell putrid.
Thus, the smell in formic acid is putrid.

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
