You want to clean a 500-ml flask that has been used to store a 0.9M solution. Each time the flask is emptied, 1.00 ml of solution adheres to the walls, and thus remains in the flask. For each rinse cycle, you pour 9.00 ml of solvent into the flask (to make 10.00 ml total), swirl to mix uniformly, and then empty it. What is the minimum number of such rinses necessary to reduce the residual concentration of 0.00001 M or below

In the 5th cycle rinse, the residual concentration of the solution is < 0.00001M

Explanation:

In each rinse cycle, the dilution that you are doing of the solution is from 1.00mL to 10.00mL, that is a dilution of 10

In the first rinse the concentration must be of 0.9M  10 = 0.09M

2nd = 0.009M

3rd = 0.0009M

4th = 0.00009M

5th = 0.000009M →

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
