What happens to the potential energy of the molecules in a reaction?

Explain why scientists use shared characteristics to make cladograms.

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.

Achemist 16 drop copper metal from copper chloride solution. the chemist place is 0.50 g of aluminum foil in a solution containing 0.75 g of copper (ii) chloride. a single replacement reaction takes place. which statement explains the maximum amount of copper that the chemist can extract using this reaction?
