3 0

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.

A chemist wants to examine specific chemical reactions and isolate certain products using a controlled experiment. How would the
professor190 [17]

Answer:

in a laboratory

Explanation:

A controlled experiment refers to the one where everything is an experiment except a single variable is held constant. A collection of information is typically taken as a control group, which is generally the ordinary state, and another group is analyzed( such as chemical reaction as per the question) in which all conditions are similar to the control group except for the variable under examination. The main benefit of a controlled experiment is that confusion over the accuracy of the results can be eliminated more easily.

How many grams of water can I convert from a liquid to a gas with 6768 joules?
vredina [299]

Answer:

The amount of water converted from liquid to gas with 6,768 joules is approximately 3.035 g

Explanation:

The amount of heat required to convert a given amount of liquid to gas at its boiling point is known as the latent heat of evaporation of the liquid

The latent heat of evaporation of water, ΔH_v ≈ 2,230 J/g

The relationship between the heat supplied, 'Q', and the amount of water in grams, 'm', evaporated is given as follows

Q = m × ΔH_v

Therefore, the amount of water, 'm', converted from liquid to gas at the boiling point temperature (100°C), when Q = 6,768 Joules, is given as follows;

6,768 J = m × 2,230 J/g

∴ m = 6,768 J /(2,230 J/g) ≈ 3.035 g

The amount of water converted from liquid to gas with 6,768 joules = m ≈ 3.035 g.
