Q

You have a water sample that contains a contami-
nant you want to remove. You know that the contam-
inant is much more soluble in diethyl ether than it
is in water. You have a separatory funnel available.
Propose a way to remove the contaminant.

A

Diethyl ether is less dense than water and insoluble
in it. Put the water sample and the diethyl ether in the separatory funnel. The contaminant will dissolve in the diethyl
ether, leaving the water sample purified.

Q

The isotope carbon-11 does not occur in nature but
has been made in the laboratory. This isotope is used
in a medical imaging technique called positron emis-
sion tomography (PET, see Section 3.7A). Give the
number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an
atom of carbon-11

A

Carbon-11 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 5 neutrons.

79
Q

How many metals, metalloids, and nonmetals are
there in the third period of the Periodic Table?

A

In Period 3, there are three metals (Na, Mg, Al), one
metalloid (Si), and four nonmetals (P, S, Cl, Ar).

80
Q

Which period(s) in the Periodic Table contain more
nonmetals than metals? Which contain more metals
than nonmetals?

A

Periods 1, 2, and 3 contain more nonmetals than
metals. Periods 4, 5, 6, and 7 contain more metals than
nonmetals.

81
Q

Why do the elements in column 1A of the Periodic
Table (the alkali metals) have similar but not identi-
cal properties?

A

The properties are similar because all of them have
similar outer-shell electron configurations. They are not
identical because each has a different number of filled
inner shells.

82
Q

You are presented with a Lewis dot structure of ele-
ment X as X . To which two groups in the Periodic
Table might this element belong?

A

The element might be in Group 2A, whose members
have two valence electrons. It might also be helium in
Group 8A.

83
Q

Which are the two most
abundant elements, by weight, in
(a) The Earth’s crust?

A

oxygen and silicon

84
Q

Which are the two most
abundant elements, by weight, in
(b) The human body?

A

oxygen and carbon.

85
Q

Why is strontium-90
more dangerous to humans than most other radio-
active isotopes that were present in the Chernobyl
fallout?

A

Calcium is an essential element in human bones and
teeth. Because strontium behaves chemically much like calcium, strontium-90 gets into our bones and teeth and gives
off radioactivity for many years directly into our bodies.

86
Q

Copper is a soft metal.
How can one make it harder?

A

by hammering

87
Q

o isotopes of the heavy elements (for example,
those from atomic number 37 to 53) contain more,
the same, or fewer neutrons than protons?

A

For elements with atomic numbers less than that of
iron (Fe), the number of neutrons is close to the number of
protons. Elements with atomic numbers greater than that
of Fe have more neutrons than protons. Therefore, heavy
elements have more neutrons than protons

88
Q

Suppose that you face a problem similar to
Mendeleev: You must predict the properties of an
element not yet discovered. What will element 118
be like if and when enough of it is made for chemists
to study its physical and chemical properties?

A

Element 118 will be in Group 8A. Expect it to be a gas
that forms either no compounds or very few compounds.

89
Q

What kind of emission does not result in
transmutation?

A

Gamma emission does not result in transmutation.

90
Q

Polonium-218, a decay product of radon-222 (see
Chemical Connections 3B), has a half-life of 3 min.
What percentage of the polonium-218 formed will
remain in the lung 9 min after inhalation?

A

12.5%

91
Q

The element radium is extremely radioactive. If you
converted a piece of radium metal to radium chloride
(with the weight of the radium remaining the same),
would it become less radioactive?

A

No, the conversion of Ra to Ra21 involves loss of
valence electrons, which is not a nuclear process and, therefore, does not involve a change in radioactivity.

92
Q

Suppose 50.0 mg of potassium-45, a beta emitter,
was isolated in pure form. After one hour, only
3.1 mg of the radioactive material was left. What
is the half-life of potassium-45?

A

15 min

93
Q

If you work in a lab containing radioisotopes emit-
ting all kinds of radiation, from which emission
should you seek most protection?

A

Gamma radiation has the greatest penetrating power;
therefore, it requires the largest amount of shielding.

94
Q

You work in a lab and it is known that radioactivity
is being emitted with an intensity of 175 mCi at
a distance of 1.0 m from the source. How far, in
meters, from the source should you stand if you
wish to be subjected to no more than 0.20 mCi?

A

30 m

95
Q

What property is measured each term?
(a) Rad (b) Rem (c) Roentgen
(d) Curie (e) Gray (f ) Becquerel
(g) Sievert

A

(a) amount of radiation absorbed from the radiation
source (b) effective dose absorbed by humans or tissue
(c) effective energy delivered (d) intensity of radiation
(e) amount of radiation absorbed by tissues from the radiation source (f) intensity of radiation (g) effective dose
absorbed by humans or tissues

96
Q

Why does exposure of a hand to alpha rays not cause
serious damage to the person, whereas entry of an
alpha emitter into the lung as an aerosol produces
very serious damage to the person’s health?

A

Alpha particles have so little penetrating power that
they are stopped by the thin skin on the hand. If they get
into the lungs, however, the thin membranes offer little
resistance to them, and they then damage the cells of
the lungs.

97
Q

Assuming the same amount of effective radiation, in
rads, from three sources, which would be the most
damaging to the tissues: alpha particles, beta parti-
cles, or gamma rays?

A

Alpha particles are the most damaging to tissue

98
Q

Assuming the same amount of effective radiation, in
rads, from three sources, which would be the most
damaging to the tissues: alpha particles, beta parti-
cles, or gamma rays?

A

Iodine-131, which is concentrated in the thyroid,
where the radiation can induce thyroid cancer.

99
Q

In 1986, the nuclear reactor in Chernobyl had an
accident and spewed radioactive nuclei that were
carried by the winds for hundreds of miles. Today,
among the child survivors of the event, the most
common damage is thyroid cancer. Which radioactive
nucleus do you expect to be responsible for these
cancers?

A

Iodine-131, which is concentrated in the thyroid,
where the radiation can induce thyroid cancer.

100
Q

radioactive isotope with its proper use

A

(a) Cobalt-60 is used for cancer therapy.
(b) Thallium-201 is used in heart scans and exercise
stress tests.
(c) Tritium is used to measure the water content of
the body
(d) Mercury-197 is used for kidney scans.

101
Q

Assuming that one proton and two neutrons will
be produced in an alpha-bombardment fusion reac-
tion, which target nucleus would you use to obtain
berkelium-249?

A

curium-248 as the target nucleus.

102
Q

A new element was formed when lead-208 was
bombarded by krypton-86. One could detect four
neutrons as the product of the fusion. Identify the
new element.

A

The new element is the sought-after element 118

103
Q

Why is it accurate to
assume that the carbon-14 to carbon-12 ratio in a
living plant remains constant over the lifetime of
the plant?

A

The assumption of a constant carbon-14 to carbon-12
ratio rests on two assumptions: (1) that carbon-14 is continually generated in the upper atmosphere by the production
and decay of nitrogen-14,and (2) that carbon-14 is incorporated into carbon dioxide,
CO2, and other carbon compounds are then distributed
worldwide as part of the carbon cycle. The continual formation of carbon-14; transfer of the isotope within the oceans,
atmosphere, and biosphere; and the decay of living matter
keep the supply of carbon-14 constant.

104
Q

Carbon-14 dating of the
Shroud of Turin indicated that the plant from which
the shroud was made was alive around AD 1350. To
how many half-lives does this correspond

A

a bit more than 0.1 (or 10%) of the half-life of carbon-14

105
Q

How does radon-222 pro-
duce polonium-218?

A

alpha emission

106
Q

Neon-19 and sodium-20 are positron emitters. What
products result in each case

A

to neon-20

107
Q

Do the curie and the becquerel measure the same or
different properties of radiation?

A

Yes. Both the curie and the becquerel have units
of disintegrations/second, a measurement of radiation
intensity.

108
Q

Which radiation will cause more ionization, Xrays
or radar?

A

X rays will cause more ionization than radar waves
because X rays have higher energy than radar waves.

109
Q

Americium-241, which is used in some smoke detec-
tors, has a half-life of 432 years and is an alpha emit-
ter. What is the decay product of americium-241,
and approximately what percentage of the original
americium-241 will be still around after 1000 years?

A

The decay product is neptunium-237,less than 25% of the
original americium will remain after 1000 years(20.1%)

110
Q

A patient is reported to have been irradiated by
a dose of 1 sievert in a nuclear accident. Is he in
mortal danger

One sievert is 100 rem. This dose is sufficient to cause
radiation sickness but not certain death.

111
Q

e half-lives of some oxygen isotopes are as follows:
Oxygen-14: 71 s Oxygen-15: 124 s
Oxygen-19: 29 s Oxygen-20: 14 s
Oxygen-16 is the stable, nonradioactive isotope. Do
the half-lives indicate anything about the stability of
the other oxygen isotopes?

A

Oxygen-16 is stable because it has an equal number of
protons and neutrons. The other isotopes are unstable
because the numbers of protons and neutrons are unequal.
In this case, the greater the neutron/proton ratio, the
shorter the half-life of the isotope.

112
Q

When Pb is bombarded with Ni, a new element
and six neutrons are produced. Identify the new
element.

A

new element is darmstadtium-266.

113
Q

Why does electronegativity generally increase in
going up a column of the Periodic Table?

A

Electronegativity increases going up a column (group)
of the Periodic Table because valence electrons are in shells
closer to the electropositive nucleus. The decreasing distance of the valence electrons from the positively charged
nucleus causes the valence electrons to experience an
increasing force of attraction

114
Q

Describe the structure of sodium chloride in the solid
state.

A

Sodium chloride in the solid state has each Na1 ion
surrounded by six Cl2 ions and each Cl2 ion surrounded by
six Na1 ions.

115
Q

Why can’t hydrogen have more than two electrons in
its valence shell?

A

Hydrogen has the electron configuration 1s1. Hydrogen’s valence shell has only the 1s orbital, which can hold
a maximum of two electrons

116
Q

Why is Li2 not a stable ion?

A

Li2 is not a stable ion because it has an unfilled
second shell.

117
Q

Why does nitrogen have three bonds and one
unshared pair of electrons in covalent compounds?

A

Nitrogen has five valence electrons. By sharing three
more electrons with another atom or atoms, nitrogen can
achieve an outer-shell electron configuration that is the
same as that of neon, the noble gas nearest it in atomic
number. The three shared pairs of electrons may be in the
form of three single bonds, one double bond and one single
bond, or one triple bond. With each of these bonding combinations, there is one unshared pair of electrons on nitrogen

118
Q

Why does oxygen have two bonds and two unshared
pairs of electrons in covalent compounds?

A

Oxygen has six valence electrons. By sharing two electrons with another atom or atoms, oxygen can achieve an
outer-shell electron configuration that is the same as that
of neon, the noble gas nearest it in atomic number. The two
shared pairs of electrons may be in the form of one double
bond or two single bonds. With either of these bonding
combinations, there are two unshared pairs of electrons
on oxygen

119
Q

The ion O⁶ has a complete outer shell. Why is this
ion not stable?

A

O⁶ has a charge too concentrated for such a small
ion. It would take a tremendous amount of energy to form
such a small, highly charged species as O⁶

120
Q

Both CO2 and SO2 have polar bonds. Account for the
fact that CO2 is nonpolar and SO2 is polar.

A

The difference in polarity arises because of their differences in shapes. CO2 is a linear molecule, and SO2 is a
bent molecule.

121
Q

Is it possible for a molecule to have polar bonds and
yet have no dipole?

A

Yes, it is possible for a molecule to have polar bonds
and yet no permanent dipole. This result occurs when the
individual polar bonds act in equal but opposite directions,
as in CO2.

122
Q

What are the three main
inorganic components of one dry mixture currently
used to create synthetic bone?

A

calcium dihydrogen phosphate, calcium phosphate,
and calcium carbonate

123
Q

What is a medical use
of barium sulfate?

A

barium sulfate is used to visualize the gastrointestinal tract by x-ray examination.

124
Q

What is the main metal
ion present in bone and tooth enamel?

A

Ca21 is the main metal ion present in bone and tooth
enamel

125
Q

Explain why argon does not form either (a) ionic
bonds or (b) covalent bonds.

A

Argon already has an octet with eight valence electrons in its outer shell; therefore, (a) it does not donate or
accept electrons to form ions, and (b) it does not need to
form covalent bonds by sharing electrons.

126
Q

If you read the labels of sun-blocking lotions, you will
find that a common UV-blocking agent is a compound
containing zinc. Name and write the formula of this
zinc-containing compound.

A

The compound is zinc oxide, ZnO

127
Q

We are constantly warned about the dangers of “lead-
based” paints. Name and write the formula for a lead-
containing compound found in lead-based paints

A

Lead(IV) oxide, PbO2, and lead(IV) carbonate,
Pb(CO3)2, are used as white pigments in paints.

128
Q

Iron forms Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions. Which ion is found in
the over-the-counter preparations intended to treat
“iron-poor blood”?

A

Fe2+

129
Q

Perchloroethylene, which is a liquid at room temper-
ature, is one of the most widely used solvents for
commercial dry cleaning. It is sold for this purpose
under several trade names, including Perclene. Does
this molecule have polar bonds? Is it a polar mole-
cule? Does it have a dipole?

A

Perchloroethylene has four polar covalent C Cl
bonds, but it is not a polar compound. The molecule lacks a
dipole because the polar covalent C Cl bonds act in equal,
but opposite directions.

130
Q

A single atom of cerium weighs just about twice as
much as a single atom of gallium. What is the weight
ratio of 25 atoms of cerium to 25 atoms of gallium?

A

2:1

131
Q

Calcium oxide is prepared by heating limestone
(calcium carbonate, CaCO3) to a high temperature,

132
Q

The rusting of iron is a chemical reaction of iron with
oxygen in the air to form iron(III) oxide. Write a bal-
anced equation for this reaction.

A

4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) —–>2Fe2O3(s)

133
Q

Can reduction take place without oxidation?

A

No. In oxidation there is a loss of electrons, and there
must be some species to accept those electrons—that is,
some species that is reduced.

134
Q

What is the difference between exothermic and
endothermic?

A

An exothermic chemical reaction or process releases
heat as a product.
An endothermic chemical reaction or process absorbs heat
as a reactant.

135
Q

The oxidation of glucose, C6H12O6, to carbon dioxide
and water is exothermic. The heat liberated is the
same whether glucose is metabolized in the body or

production of 1.00 kg of starch (Section 19.6A) from
carbon dioxide and water.
(a) Is the production of starch in a plant an exother-
mic process or an endothermic process?
(b) Calculate the energy in kilocalories required by
a plant for the production of 6.32 g of starch.

A

(a) The synthesis of starch is endothermic.
(b) 26.4 kcal

137
Q

How does fluoride ion
protect the enamel against tooth decay?

A

Fluoride reacts with Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 in the enamel by
exchanging the F2 ions for OH2 ions, forming Ca10(PO4)6F2,
which is less soluble under the acidic conditions found in
the mouth.

138

156
Q

Does the density of a gas increase, decrease, or stay
the same as the pressure increases at constant tem-
perature? As the temperature increases at constant
pressure?

A

Density increases as pressure increases and decreases
as temperature increases.

157
Q

Which forces are stronger, intramolecular covalent
bonds or intermolecular hydrogen bonds?

A

Intramolecular covalent bonds are stronger than
intermolecular hydrogen bonds

158
Q

Can water and dimethyl sulfoxide, (CH3)2S=O,
form hydrogen bonds between them?

A

yes

159
Q

Ethanol, C2H5OH, and carbon dioxide, CO2, have
approximately the same molecular weight, yet car-
bon dioxide is a gas at STP and ethanol is a liquid.
How do you account for this difference in physical
property?

A

Ethanol is a polar molecule and engages in intermolecular hydrogen bonding through its OH group. Carbon
dioxide is a nonpolar molecule, and the only forces of
attraction between its molecules are weak London dispersion forces. The stronger hydrogen bonds require more
energy (higher temperature) to break before vaporizing.

form. Name the phase change that is the reverse of
this condensation.

A

sublimation

164
Q

Which has lower entropy,
a gas at 100°C or one at 200°C?

A

When the temperature of a substance increases, so
does its entropy. Therefore, a gas at 100°C has a lower
entropy than the same gas at 200°C.

165
Q

What happens when
a person lowers the diaphragm in his or her chest
cavity?

A

When the diaphragm is lowered, the volume of the
chest cavity increases, lowering the pressure in the lungs
relative to the atmospheric pressure. Air at atmospheric
pressure then rushes into the lungs, beginning the breathing process.

166
Q

In a sphygmomanometer
one listens to the first tapping sound as the constric-
tive pressure of the arm cuff is slowly released. What
is the significance of this tapping sound?

A

The first tapping sound one hears is the systolic pressure, which occurs when the sphygmomanometer pressure
matches the blood pressure when the ventricle contracts,
pushing blood into the arm.

167
Q

If you fill a glass bottle
with water, cap it, and cool to -10°C, the bottle will
crack. Explain.

A

When water freezes, it expands (water is one of the few
substances that expands on freezing) and will crack the bottle when the ice expansion exceeds the volume of the bottle.

168
Q

Why is it difficult to compress a liquid or a solid?

A

It is difficult to compress liquids and solids because
their molecules are already very close together and there is
very little empty space between them.

169
Q

Why do aerosol cans carry the warning “Do not
incinerate”?

A

Aerosol cans already contain gases under high pressure. Gay-Lussac’s law predicts that the pressure inside the
can will increase with increasing temperature, with the
potential of explosive rupture of the can, causing injury

170
Q

Why does the temperature of a liquid drop as a
result of evaporation?

A

The temperature of a liquid decreases during evaporation because the molecules with higher kinetic energy leave
the liquid, which decreases the average kinetic energy of
those molecules remaining in the liquid. The temperature
of the liquid is directly proportional to the average kinetic
energy of the molecules in the liquid state. Therefore the
temperature decreases as the average kinetic energy
decreases.

176
Q

We dissolved 0.32 g of aspartic acid in 115.0 mL of
water and obtained a clear solution. After two days
standing at room temperature, we notice a white
powder at the bottom of the beaker. What may have
happened?

A

One possible explanation is that the prepared aspartic
acid solution was unsaturated. Over two days, some of the
solvent (water) may have evaporated and the solution
became supersaturated, precipitating the excess aspartic
acid as a white solid

177
Q

Suppose that we have a stain on an oil painting that
we want to remove without damaging the painting.
The stain is not water-insoluble. Knowing the polari-
ties of the following solvents, which one would we try
first and why?
(a) Benzene, C6H6
(b) Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, C3H7OH
(c) Hexane, C6H14

A

Isopropyl alcohol would be a good first choice. The oil
base in the paint is nonpolar. Both benzene and hexane are
nonpolar solvents and may dissolve the paint, destroying
the painting.

178
Q

The solubility of aspartic acid in water is 0.500 g in
100 mL at 25°C. If we dissolve 0.251 g of aspartic
acid in 50.0 mL of water at 50°C and let the solution
cool to 25°C without stirring, shaking, or otherwise
disturbing the solution, would the resulting solution
be a saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated solu-
tion?

A

The solubility of aspartic acid at 25°C in 50.0 mL of
water is 0.250 g of solute. Assuming that no precipitation occurs, the cooled solution will contain 0.251 g of aspartic
acid in 50.0 mL of water and will be supersaturated by
0.001 g of aspartic acid.

179
Q

If a bottle of beer is allowed to stand for several
hours after being opened, it becomes “flat” (it loses
CO2). Explain.

A

According to Henry’s law, the solubility of a gas in
a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure. A closed
bottle of a carbonated beverage is under excess CO2 pressure. After the bottle is opened, the excess CO2 pressure
is released and the CO2 escapes from solution as bubbles
of gas.

180
Q

A student has a stock solution of 30.0% w/v H2O2
(hydrogen peroxide). Describe how the student
should prepare 250 mL of a 0.25% w/v H2O2 solution

A

fill the flask with water to the 250 mL mark.

181
Q

A student has a bottle labeled 0.750% albumin solu-
tion. The bottle contains exactly 5.00 mL. How much
water must the student add to make the concentra-
tion of albumin become 0.125%?

A

The total volume of the diluted solution will be 30.0 mL.
Start with 5.0 mL of solution and add 25.0 mL of water to
reach a final volume of 30.0 mL.

182
Q

Dioxin is considered to be poisonous in concentra-
tions above 2 ppb. If a lake containing 1 107 L has
been contaminated by 0.1 g of dioxin, did the concen-
tration reach a dangerous level?

A

Dioxin concentration 0.01 ppb dioxin.
No, the dioxin level in the lake did not reach a dangerous
level.

184
Q

A solution of protein is transparent at room tempera-
ture. When it is cooled to10°C, it becomes turbid.
What causes this change in appearance?

A

As the temperature of the solution decreases, the
protein molecules aggregate and form a colloidal mixture.
The turbid appearance is the result of the Tyndall effect.

185
Q

A 0.9% NaCl solution is isotonic with blood plasma.
Which solution would crenate red blood cells?
(a) 0.3% NaCl
(b) 0.9 M glucose (MW 180)
(c) 0.9% glucose

A

Red blood cells will undergo crenation (shrink) in
a hypertonic solution. A 0.9% NaCl solution is 0.3 osmol.
Solution (b) is 0.9 osmol (hypertonic) and will crenate
red blood cells.

186
Q

What makes normal
rainwater slightly acidic?

A

Carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolves in rainwater to form
a dilute solution of carbonic acid (H2CO3), which is a
weak acid.

187
Q

What is nitrogen
narcosis?

A

Nitrogen dissolved in the blood can lead to a narcotic
effect referred to as “rapture of the deep,” which is similar
to alcohol-induced intoxication

188
Q

What is the chemical
formula for the main component of limestone and
marble?

A

The main component of limestone and marble is
calcium carbonate, CaCO3.

189
Q

What is the minimum
pressure on sea water that will force water to flow
from the concentrated solution into the dilute
solution?

A

The minimum pressure required for reverse osmosis
in the desalinization of sea water exceeds 100 atm (the
osmotic pressure of sea water).

190
Q

A manufacturing error
occurred in the isotonic solution used in hemodialy-
sis. Instead of 0.2% NaHCO3, 0.2% of KHCO3 was
added. Did this error change the labeled tonicity of
the solution? If so, is the resulting solution hypotonic
or hypertonic? Would such an error create an elec-
trolyte imbalance in the patient’s blood? Explain.

A

Yes, the change in composition made a change in the
tonicity. The error in replacing NaHCO3 with KHCO3
resulted in a hypotonic solution and an electrolyte imbalance by reducing the number of ions (osmolarity) in solution.

191
Q

When a cucumber is put into a saline solution to
pickle it, the cucumber shrinks; when a prune is put
into the same solution, the prune swells. Explain
what happens in each case.

A

When a cucumber is placed in a saline solution, the
osmolarity of the saline solution is greater than that of the
water in the cucumber, so water moves from the cucumber
to the saline solution and the cucumber shrinks. When a
prune (a partially dehydrated plum) is placed in the same
solution, it expands because the osmolarity inside the
prune is greater than that of the saline solution, so water
moves from the saline solution to inside the prune, causing
the prune to expand.

192
Q

Two bottles of water are carbonated, with CO2 gas
being added, under 2 atm pressure and then capped.
One bottle is stored at room temperature; the other
is stored in the refrigerator. When the bottle stored
at room temperature is opened, large bubbles escape,
along with a third of the water. The bottle stored in
the refrigerator is opened without frothing or bub-
bles escaping. Explain.

A

The solubility of a gas in a solvent is directly proportional to the pressure (Henry’s law) of the gas and is
inversely proportional to the temperature. The dissolved
carbon dioxide formed a saturated solution in water when
bottled under 2 atm pressure. When the bottles are opened
at atmospheric pressure, the gas becomes less soluble. The
carbon dioxide becomes supersaturated in water at room
temperature and 1 atm, and thus escapes as bubbles and
frothing. In the other bottle, the solution of carbon dioxide
in water is unsaturated at a lower temperature and does
not lose carbon dioxide as readily

193
Q

We know that a 0.89% saline (NaCl) solution is iso-
tonic with blood. In a real-life emergency, we run out
of physiological saline solution and have only KCl as
a salt and distilled water. Would it be acceptable to
make a 0.89% aqueous KCl solution and use it for
intravenous infusion? Explain.

A

No, it would not be acceptable to use an 0.89% KCl
solution for intravenous infusions because it will not be isotonic with blood. KCl has a higher molecular weight than
NaCl; consequently, its osmolarity will be smaller.

194
Q

Synovial fluid that exists in joints is a colloidal solu-
tion of hyaluronic acid (Section 20.6A) in water.
When a biochemist wants to isolate hyaluronic acid
from synovial fluid, he or she adds ethanol, C2H6O,
to bring the solution to 65% ethanol. The hyaluronic
acid precipitates upon standing. What makes the
hyaluronic acid solution unstable and causes it to
precipitate?

A

The ethanol molecules displace water molecules from
the solvation layer of the hyaluronic acid, allowing the
hyaluronic acid molecules to stick together upon collision
and form aggregates that precipitate.
