Police investigating the scene of a sexual assault recover a large blanket that they believe may contain useful physical evidence. They take it to the laboratory of forensic serologist Scott Alden, asking him to test it for the presence of semen. Noticing faint pink stains on the blanket, Scott asks the investigating detective if he is aware of anything that might recently have been spilled on the blanket. The detective reports that an overturned bowl of grapes and watermelon was found at the scene, as well as a broken glass that had contained wine. After the detective departs, Scott chooses and administers what he considers the best test for analysing the piece of evidence in his possession. Three minutes after completion of the test, the blanket shows a positive reaction. What test did Scott choose, and what was his conclusion? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Acid Phosphatase (AP) Test

Explanation:

Acid phosphate is an enzyme that is found in the body. It is secreted majorly by the prostrate gland into the seminal fluid. The acid phosphatase test is used to test for the presence of semen in items.

Scott chose the acid phosphatase test because it is very useful in testing for semen on large items such as blankets. The reaction time for an acid phosphatase test for semen is less than 30 seconds. Seeing that the test was completed in three minutes, Scott concluded that the positive reaction was as a result of some other fluid.

The detectives reported that an overturned bowl of grapes and watermelon was found at the scene as well as a broken glass that had contained wine. Scott knew that some fruit juices like that of watermelon give a positive reaction to the acid phosphatase test but with  more time that of the semen fluid because the reaction is a very slow one.

Scott concluded that there was no presence of semen on the blanket and therefore there was no sexual assault.

Carbon dioxide non examples? Please and catalyst non examples?

Answers

Answer:

I guess you mean by non element example. Non element examples have more than one elements. Carbon dioxide is a non element example since caebon dioxide has 2 oxygen atoms + 1 carbon atom = carbon dioxide.

I think catalyst is also a non element example because catalyst is inorganic which means that it is not a living thing. Since catalyst is in brass and brass is a non element example, I think catalyst is also a non element example.

A 8.15 g sample of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposes to form water and oxygen. The temperature and pressures conditions in the lab were 21.2oC and 761.4 torr, respectively. The oxygen gas is collected over a sample of water at 21.2oC; the vapor pressure of water at that temperature is 18.9 torr. When the water level inside and outside of the tube is equal the volume of gas is recorded as 176.23 mL. a) Write and balance the equation for the decomposition reaction

Answers

Answer: [tex]H_2O_2\rightarrow H_2+O_2[/tex]

Explanation:

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

According to law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the number of atoms of each element must be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced equation for the decomposition reaction  of hydrogen peroxide is:

[tex]H_2O_2\rightarrow H_2+O_2[/tex]

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which a chemical breaks into two or more molecules or atoms. One reactant breaks into two products which can be shown as:

                                         XY----->X + Y

The decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide can be written as:

                                           

                                              [tex]H_{2}O_{2} = H_{2} + O_{2}[/tex]

According to the mass conserving law the mass can neither be added nor deleted they can just get transferred.

For a reaction to be stable the number of atoms on both sides of the reaction should be balanced.

Therefore, the balanced chemical reaction of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide will be:

                                             [tex]H_{2}O_{2} = H_{2} + O_{2}[/tex]

In this case, according to the definition of the Avogadro's number, it is possible to realize that one molecule of CO2 contains 3 moles of atoms, one of carbon and two of oxygen, thus, we have:

[tex]0.580molCO_2*\frac{3mol\ atoms}{1molCO_2} =1.74mol\ atoms[/tex]

Then, we use the Avogadro's number to obtain:

For the reaction of reducing benzil (MW 210.23 g/mol) with sodium borohydride (MW 37.83 g/mol), if 2.56 g of benzil and 0.38 g of sodium borohydride were used to make hydrobenzoin (MW 214.26 g/mol), and 2.22 g of hydrobenzoin was obtained, which chemical is limiting reagent

Answers

Answer:

NaBH₄

Explanation:

First, we need to write the chemical formula of all the compounds:

Benzil: C₁₄H₁₀O₂

Sodium Borhydride: C₁₄H₁₀O₂

Hydrobenzoin: C₁₄H₁₄O₂

Now, let's write the reaction that is taking place and write all the products:

C₁₄H₁₀O₂ + 2NaBH₄ + 2H₂O -----------> C₁₄H₁₄O₂ + 2BH₃ + 2NaOH

We can see that the reaction is already balanced, so we don't need to do anything else.

The question of this exercise is to determine the limiting reagent of the reaction, in other words, the reagent that controls the reaction and produces the 2.22 g of the hydrobenzoin. And to know this we need to see the mole ratio in both reactants, and compare them to the given moles (That can be obtained with the given masses and MW)

According to the above reaction, we have a mole ratio of 1:2, so, let's calculate the moles of benzil and the borohydride, and see which of them is the limiting reactant:

moles C₁₄H₁₀O₂ = 2.56 / 210.23 = 0.0122 moles

moles NaBH₄ = 0.38 / 37.83 = 0.01 moles

moles  C₁₄H₁₄O₂ = 2.22 / 214.26 = 0.0103 moles

We have the moles of every species, now, let's see the mole ratio

If 1 mole of C₁₄H₁₀O₂ -----------> 2 moles of NaBH₄

Then 0.0122 moles C₁₄H₁₀O₂ ----------> X moles of NaBH₄

Solving for X:

X = 0.0122 * 2 / 1 = 0.0244 moles of NaBH₄ are required.

However, we only have 0.01 moles of NaBH₄, and we need so much more of this to completely react with the moles of the benzil. Therefore we can safely assume that the limiting reagent is the NaBH₄

Another data that we can use for this, is the fact the produced moles were 0.0103, and this value is nearest to the moles of NaBH₄ rather than the moles of the benzil.

So, in conclusion, Limiting reagent NaBH₄

Rank the following elements in INCREASING Atomic Radius: Fe, Ni, K, Ti (SMALLEST TO

a. Ti, Ni, Fe, K
b. Ni, Fe, Ti, K
c. Fe, Ti, K, Ni
d. K, Ti, Fe, Ni

Answers

Answer:

b. Ni, Fe, Ti, K

Explanation:

The given elements are present in period 4 of periodic table. Now we will discuss the trend of atomic radius along period.

Atomic radius:

" It is the smallest distance from nucleus to the outer most valance shell of an atom"

When we move from left to right in the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size goes to decrease in same period because of edition of electron with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. In this way positive charge is also going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect causes the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell come closer to the nucleus.

As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

Ni ∠ Fe ∠ Ti ∠ K

Consider a disubstituted aromatic compound. The parent name is benzene and there is a chloro and bromo substituent. Disubstituted benzenes can be described using the terms ortho, meta and para, depending on their relative distance from each other. The terms are often just abbreviated as o, m and p. In addition, the IUPAC name can use locant numbers instead of the descriptor. Br
Select the correct names for the structure.
1. 1-bromo-3-chlorobenzene
2. 3-bromo-1-chlorobenzene
3. meta-bromochlorobenzene
4. o-bromochlorobenzene
5. ortho-bromochlorobenzene
6. m-bromochlorobenzene

Answers

Answer:The correct names for the structure are:

--> 1. 1-bromo-3-chlorobenzene.

--> 3. meta-bromochlorobenzene.

--> 6. m-bromochlorobenzene.

Explanation:

Benzene is the simplest member of the aromatic hydrocarbons. It has a ring structure consisting of six carbon and six hydrogen atoms. This equally means that a benzene can have up to six substituents. One of the chemical properties is that benzene and other members of its series undergo substitution reaction whereby one or more of its six hydrogen atoms is replaced by monoatomic reagents.

Disubstituted benzene consists of two substituents which are described based on either numerical locants or specific words for the three possible forms.

The numerical locant method are used the same naming substitutes of other hydrocarbons. From the question, the numerical locant method was derived through using the following steps:

--> the functional group is benzene

--> there are two substituents which includes bromine( written as bromo) and chlorine ( written as chloro)

--> while placing the number, it's done alphabetically ('1-bromo' comes before '3-chloro') in a clockwise manner. This is to give chorine the lowest locant number.

The second naming method for a disubstituted benzene is the the ortho-, meta-, para- (or their singel letter equivalent) nomenclature method. This is only used for benzene structures.

--> ortho or O : this is used when the substituents are close to each other in the benzene ring.

--> meta or (m) : This is used when the substituents are separated by one carbon in the benzene ring.

--> para or (p): This is used when the substituents are across each other in the benzene ring

From the question, the bromine substituent is separated from the chlorine by one carbon atom, therefore it's meta-bromochlorobenzene or m-bromochlorobenzene.

Answers

Answer:

London dispersion forces between octane molecules

Explanation:

Water is a polar solvent and the molecules of water are held together by hydrogen bonds.

On the other hand octane is a nonpolar molecule held together only by weak dispersion forces.

We know that the interaction of substances depend on the nature of intermolecular forces present in each substance. As a result, water can not interact with octane because octane molecules predominantly have a different kind of intermolecular force between them- the London dispersion forces.
