Gasoline is refined petroleum used in engines as a fuel. It contains octane that can be converted to isooctane by adding catalysts like platinum and palladium.

<h3>What are catalysts?</h3>

Catalysts are substances that raise the reaction rate by decreasing the activation energy but do not get consumed themselves in a reaction.

Platinum and palladium metals can be used as a catalyst to convert the octane of the gasoline into isooctane as they are oxidation catalyst that converts the fuel components into water and carbon dioxide.

Therefore, platinum and palladium are used as catalysts in converting octane.

The atomic mass of magnesium is the weighted average of the atomic masses of
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

2. All the naturally occurring isotopes of Mg.

Explanation:

You want to know the atomic mass of the magnesium you use in the lab. That’s “natural” magnesium. So, you must use the weighted average of all the naturally occurring isotopes in natural Mg.

1. and 3. are <em>wrong</em>. You won’t get the correct mass for natural Mg if you use only the artificial isotopes for your calculation.

4. is <em>wrong</em>. You must use all the naturally occurring isotopes. The two most abundant isotopes of Mg account for only 90 % of the atoms. If you ignore the other 10 %, your calculation will be wrong.

What is the complete ionic equation for NaOHaq plus HCIaq equals H2OI plus NaCIaq?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Ionic equation:

Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + NaCl (aq)

Balanced chemical equation:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + NaCl (aq)

Ionic equation:

Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)    →  H₂O(l)

The  Cl⁻(aq)  and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The water can not be splitted into ions because it is present in liquid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

If a stable element has an atomic number of 8, how many electrons does it have? HELP PLEASE!!!!!
mash [69]
8 because atomic number is the same as number of protons, protons and electrons have the same amount so that the element is neither positive nor negative.

N analyst prepared a sucrose solution by weighing 1kg of water and add 1.5kg sucrose.estimate the concentration of the resultant
makvit [3.9K]

The concentration of the solution in mass percent is 60%.

<h3>What is the mass percent?</h3>

The concentration of a substance can be expressed in mass percent. This refers to the percentage of the solute that is contained in the solution.

Thus we can write;

Mass percent = Mass of solute/ Mass of solution * 100/1

Mass percent = 1.5kg/1.5kg + 1 Kg * 100/1

Mass percent =  60%

Hence, the concentration of the solution in mass percent is 60%.
