This impurity is troubling from an economic standpoint because it lead to decrease in the yield of phosphorus

  • Ferrophosphorus is a byproduct of phosphorus production in submerged-arc furnaces , by their reduction with carbon. It is formed from the iron oxide impurities.
  • Iron impurities present in the calcium phosphate will be precipitated out as the iron phosphate which eventually will lead to the decrease in the yield of phosphorous during the production of phosphorous.

Thus we can conclude that Fe₂P causes decrease in yield

Balance each of the following redox reactions occurring in acidic aqueous solution.
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Part A : Zn(s) + Sn²⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + Sn(s).

Part B : 3Mg(s) + 2Cr³⁺(aq) → 3Mg²⁺(aq) + 2Cr(s).

Part C: 3MnO₄⁻ + 24H⁺ + 5Al → 5Al³⁺ + 3Mn²⁺ + 12H₂O.

Explanation:

<em>Part A : Zn(s) + Sn²⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + Sn(s), Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer. </em>

  • It is balanced as written: Zn(s) + Sn²⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + Sn(s).

The two half reactions are:

The oxidation reaction: Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e.

The reduction reaction: Sn²⁺(aq) + 2e → Sn(s).

  • To obtain the net redox reaction, we add the two-half reactions as the no. of electrons in the two-half reactions is equal.

So, the net chemical equation is:

<em>Zn(s) + Sn²⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + Sn(s).</em>

<em>Part B: Mg(s) + Cr³⁺(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + Cr(s), Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer. </em>

  • To balance and write the net chemical equation, we should write the two-half reactions:

The two half reactions are:

The oxidation reaction: Mg(s) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e.

The reduction reaction: Cr³⁺(aq) + 3e → Cr(s).

  • To obtain the net redox reaction, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 3 (3Mg(s) → 3Mg²⁺(aq) + 6e) and the reduction reaction by 2 (2Cr³⁺(aq) + 6e → 2Cr(s)) to equalize the no. of electrons in the two-half reactions.

So, the net redox reaction will be:

<em>3Mg(s) + 2Cr³⁺(aq) → 3Mg²⁺(aq) + 2Cr(s).</em>

<em>Part C : MnO⁴⁻(aq) + Al(s) → Mn²⁺(aq) + Al³⁺(aq), Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.</em>

  • To balance and write the net chemical equation, we should write the two-half reactions:

The two half reactions are:

The oxidation reaction: Al → Al³⁺ + 3e.

The reduction reaction: MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O.

  • To obtain the net redox reaction, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 5 (5Al → 5Al³⁺ + 15e) and the reduction reaction by 3 (3MnO₄⁻ + 24H⁺ + 15e → 3Mn²⁺ + 12H₂O) to equalize the no. of electrons in the two-half reactions.

So, the net redox reaction will be:

<em>3MnO₄⁻ + 24H⁺ + 5Al → 5Al³⁺ + 3Mn²⁺ + 12H₂O.</em>

Which of the following has the largest number of molecules? a 1 g of benzene, C6H6 b 1 g of formaldehyde, CH2O c 1 g of TNT, C7H
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: 1g of formaldehyde

Explanation:

Molar Mass of benzene (C6H6) = (12x6) + (6x1) = 78g/mol

1mole(78g) of benzene contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

1g of benzene with contain = (6.02x10^23) /78 = 7.72x10^21 molecules

Molar Mass of formaldehyde (CH2O) = 12 +2+16 = 30g/mol

1mole (30g) of formaldehyde contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

1g of formaldehyde will contain = (6.02x10^23) /30 = 2.01x10^22 molecules

Molar Mass of TNT(C7H5N3O6) = (12x7)+(5x1)+(14x3)+(16x6) = 227g/mol

1mole(227g) of TNT contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

1g of TNT will contain = (6.02x10^23)/227 = 2.65x10^21 molecules

Molar Mass of naphthalene (C10H8) = (12x10) +8 =128g/mol

1mole(128g) of naphthalene contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

1g of naphthalene will contain = (6.02x10^23)/128 = 4.7x10^21 molecules

Molar Mass of glucose(C6H12O6) = (12x6) + 12 +(16x6) = 180g/mol

1mole(180g) of glucose contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

1g of glucose will contain = (6.02x10^23)/180 = 3.34x10^21 molecules

Therefore, 1g of each of the compound contains the following:

Benzene = 7.72x10^21 molecules

Formaldehyde = 2.01x10^22 molecules

TNT = 2.65x10^21 molecules

Naphthalene = 4.7x10^21 molecules

Glucose = 3.34x10^21 molecules

From the above, we see clearly that formaldehyde has the largest number of molecules

Which statement best describes the polarity of CH3Cl? a) The molecule is always polar. b) The molecule is always nonpolar. c) De
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

a) The molecule is always polar.

Explanation:

The molecule is always polar because of two reasons:

  • all the bonds are polar due to the difference in electronegativity between carbon and hydrogen & carbon and chlorine.

                                              AND IMPORTANTLY

  • The molecule is asymmetrical meaning that the dipoles cannot cancel each other out (like they do in methane or carbon dioxide for example) so the net effect is a polar molecule.
