Potential advantages of using water as a solvent in organic chemistry are:

  • Natural resource, easy to obtain, lower cost.
  • Avoiding biomass drying step.
  • Facilitating recovery of inorganics contained in biomass.

Disadvantages of using water as a solvent in organic chemistry

  • Higher critical point, severe reaction conditions.
  • Lower yields of water insoluble bio-oil.
  • The bio-oil with higher oxygen content and lower calorific value.
<h3>What is the most widely used liquefaction solvent?</h3>

Water is the most common liquefaction solvent. Not only is water an environmentally friendly solvent that is inexpensive and does not pollute the environment, but it also facilitates the recovery and recycling of inorganic matter contained in biomass in ionic form for eventual use as fertilizers.

<h3>Why is water called a universal solvent?</h3>
  • Water dissolves many substances and is known as a universal solvent. We learned that, despite being a universal solvent, it can only dissolve polar molecules and that nonpolar molecules, even when mixed with water, form a separate layer.
  • Many researchers around the world have studied the effect of liquefaction solvent type on the liquefaction behaviors of various biomasses, including lignocelluloses, algae, and sewage sludge.

Consider the following reaction: 2CH3OH ---&gt; 2CH4+O2 delta H= +252.8kJ. Calculate the amount of heat transferred when 22.0g o
nydimaria [60]
To calculate the amount of heat transferred when an amount of reactant is decomposed, we must look at the balanced reaction and its corresponding heat of reaction. In this case, we can see that 252.8 kJ of heat is transferred per 2 moles of CH3OH used. When 22 g of CH3OH is used, 86.9 kJ is absorbed.

A _____ exists in the same physical state as that of the reaction it catalyzes.
klio [65]
<span>A Homogeneous Catalyst exists in the same physical state as that of the reaction it catalyzes.

Explanation:
                     
Catalysts are classifies as follow,
                                                      1. Homogeneous Catalyst
                                                      2. Heterogeneous Catalyst

</span>Homogeneous Catalyst are those which are in same phase as that of reactants are.

Example:

         Acetic Acid + Ethanol + H₂SO₄  →  Ethyl Acetate + H₂O + H₂SO₄

In this reaction catalyst and reactants all are in same phase i.e. Liquids.

Heterogeneous Catalyst are those which are in different phase as that of reactants are.

Example:

                                 Ethene + H₂ + Ni  →  Ethane + Ni

In this reaction ethene and hydrogen are gases while Nickle catalyst is in solid state.
