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.

Predict how many antacid tablets it would take to produce 120 mL of CO2 gas
Alja [10]
<span>The question does not mention the brand or size of antacid tablets, but some research in the internet shows that for a very common brand, Alka Seltzer, that it takes about 4 tablets to produces 60 mL of gas. So for 120mL it will take 120/60 x 4 or 8 tablets to produce 120 mL of CO2 gas.</span>

If 3.50 moles of sodium chloride is added to your food, how many grams is added?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

204.8g

Explanation:

The number of moles of a substance is related to its mass and molecular mass as follows:

mole (n) = mass (m) ÷ molar mass (MM)

According to this question, 3.50 moles of sodium chloride (NaCl) is added to a food.

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5

= 58.5g/mol

Using mole = mass/molar mass

Mass = molar mass × mole

Mass = 58.5g/mol × 3.5mol

Mass = 204.75

Mass = 204.8grams.

Therefore, 204.8grams of NaCl or common salt was added to the food.
