Why do we produce formaldehyde?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Yuliya22 [10]1 year ago
3 0

We produce formaldehyde for medicinal purposes and synthesizing polyester.

Formaldehyde is a compound that is required in about 1.5 ounces in quantity as a normal part of our metabolism.

Also formaldehyde is used as a catalyst in the formation for the synthesis of many polyesters.

Formaldehyde also has many uses such as fungicide, germicide, disinfectant and as a preservative in mortuaries as well as important chemical in medical Laboratories.

In everyday items press fabric paints coating and paper base products also includes formaldehyde.

Each polysaccharide tested gives different color results with the iodine test ​
fomenos
Iodine (iodine-potassium iodide) staining distinguishes starch ( a polysaccharide) from monosaccharides, a disaccharides and other polysaccharides. Therefore, a bluish black color is a positive test for starch, and a yellow-ish brown color ( no color change) is a negative test for starch.

Explain why the term recycling is an excellent description of plate tectonics
marshall27 [118]
We may not see notice it but plate tectonics actually have a "recycle" process. However, scientist reported that it happens in a span of 500 million years. Over the years, the oceanic crusts are pressured to the topmost layer of the mantle causing the oceanic crusts to melt and mix with the Earth's mantle. Such crust blending results to the formation of volcanoes underwater. In time, the said volcanoes would erupt causing the formation of new oceanic and continental crusts.

Using the mmoles of (35)-2,2,-dibromo-3,4-dimethylpentane calculated earlier and the molecular weight of the product (962 g/mol)
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The yield of the product in gram is \mathsf{{w_P}=0.26 \ gram}

Explanation:

Given that:

the molecular mass weight of the product = 96.2 g/mol

the molecular mass of the reagent (3S)-2,2,-dibromo-3,4-dimethylpentane is 257.997 g

given that the millimoles of the reagent = 2,7 millimoles = 2.7 \times 10^{-3} \ moles

We know that:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Then:

2.7 \times 10^{-3} = \dfrac{ mass}{257.997}

mass = 2.7 \times 10^{-3} \times 257.997

mass = 0.697

Theoretical yield = (number of moles of the product/ number of moles of reactant) × 100

i.e

Theoretical yield = \dfrac{n_P}{n_R}\times 100\%

where;

n_P = \dfrac{w_P}{m_P}    and n_R = \dfrac{w_R}{m_R}

Theoretical yield = \dfrac{(\dfrac{w_P}{m_P})}{(\dfrac{w_R}{m_R})} \times 100\%

Given that the theoretical yield = 100%

Then:

100\% =\dfrac{(\dfrac{w_P}{m_P})}{(\dfrac{w_R}{m_R})} \times 100\%

\dfrac{w_P}{m_P}=\dfrac{w_R}{m_R}

{w_P}=\dfrac{w_R \times m_P}{m_R}

where,

w_P = derived weight of the product

m_P =the molecular mass of the derived product

m_R = the molecular mass of the reagent

w_R = weight in a gram of the reagent

{w_P}=\dfrac{w_R \times m_P}{m_R}

{w_P}=\dfrac{0.697 \times 96.2}{257.997}

\mathsf{{w_P}=0.26 \ gram}

How many atoms are in 2.70 moles of iron (Fe) atoms?
vredina [299]
The answer is <span>1.63 × 1024 atoms Fe.
</span>

Avogadro's number is the number of units (atoms, molecules) in 1 mole of substance:

<span>6.023 × 10²³ atoms per 1 mole
</span>So, how many atoms are per 2.70 moles:

6.023 × 10²³ atoms : 1 mole = x : 2.70 moles
x = 6.023 × 10²³ atoms * 2.70 moles : 1 mole
x = 16.3 × 10²³ = 1.63 × 10 × 10²³ = 1.63 × 10²⁴ atoms

The ph of 0.015 m hno2 (nitrous acid) aqueous solution was measured to be 2.63. what is the value of pka of nitrous acid?
Licemer1 [7]
Nitrous acid<span> dissociates as follows:
</span>
HNO₂(s) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq) 
           
According to the equation, an acid constant has the following form:

Ka = [H⁺] × [NO₂⁻ ] / [HNO₂] 

From pH, we can calculate the concentration of H⁺ and NO₂⁻:

[H⁺] = 10^-pH = 10^-2.63 = 0.00234 M = [NO₂⁻]

Now, the acid constant can be calculated:

Ka = 0.00234 x 0.00234 / 0.015  = 3.66 x 10⁻⁴

And finally,

pKa = -log Ka = 3.44
