Hydrogen peroxide is one of the most common bleaching agents. It is the primary bleaching agent in the textile industry, and is also used in pulp, paper, and home laundry applications.

bleaching agent is a material that lightens or whitens a substrate through chemical reaction. The bleaching reactions usually involve oxidative or reductive processes that degrade color systems. These processes may involve the destruction or modification of chromophoric groups in the substrate as well as the degradation of color bodies into smaller, more soluble units that are more easily removed in the bleaching process. The most common bleaching agents generally fall into two categories: chlorine and its related compounds (such as sodium hypochlorite) and the peroxygen bleaching agents, such as hydrogen peroxide and sodium perborate. Reducing bleaches represent another category. Enzymes are a new category of bleaching agents. They are used for textile, paper, and pulp bleaching as well as for home laundering. Chlorine‐containing bleaching agents are the most cost‐effective bleaching agents known. They are also effective disinfectants, and water disinfection is often the largest use of many chlorine‐containing bleaching agents. They may be divided into four classes: chlorine, hypochlorites, N‐chloro compounds, and chlorine dioxide. Except to bleach wood pulp and flour, chlorine itself is rarely used as a bleaching agent. The principal form of hypochlorite produced is sodium hypochlorite. Other hypochlorites include calcium hypochlorite and bleach liquor, bleaching powder and tropical bleach. The principal solid chlorine bleaching agents are the chlorinated isocyanurates, eg, sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate. Other N‐chloro compounds include halogenated hydantoins, and sodium N‐chlorobenzenesulfonamide (chloramine B). Chlorine dioxide is a gas that is more hazardous than chlorine. Large amounts for pulp bleaching are made by several processes in which sodium chlorate is reduced with chloride, methanol, or sulfur dioxide in highly acidic solutions by complex reactions. Hydrogen peroxide is one of the most common bleaching agents. It is the primary bleaching agent in the textile industry, and is also used in pulp, paper, and home laundry applications. Hydrogen peroxide reacts with many compounds, such as borates, carbonates, pyrophosphates, sulfates, etc, to give peroxy compounds or peroxyhydrates. Peracids have superior cold water bleaching capability versus hydrogen peroxide because of the greater electrophilicity of the peracid peroxygen moiety. Lower wash temperatures and phosphate reductions or bans in detergent systems account for the recent utilization and vast literature of peracids in textile bleaching. The reducing agents generally used in bleaching include sulfur dioxide, sulfurous acid, bisulfites, sulfites, hydrosulfite (dithionites), sodium sulfoxylate formaldehyde, and sodium borohydride. These materials are used mainly in pulp and textile bleaching.

Solid liquid gas or plasma. Solid would be ice cubes (frozen state), liquid would be the water inside of the glass, the gas would be when you take that same water and place it on a stovetop to bring to a boiling point. (Gas state) and finally the plasma state is when you your gas particles (from the gas state) if you heat the gas particles, they will turn to plasma.

C₂H₄O₂ + O₂ ➞ CO₂ + H₂O
densk [106]

Answer:

C2H4O2 + 2O2 ==> 2CO2 + 2H2O

Explanation:

Start with the carbons

C2H4O2 + O2 ==> 2CO2 + H2O There are 2 on the left, so you need 2 on the right.

Next deal with the hydrogens. You have 4 on the left so you have to make 4 on the right

C2H4O2 + O2 ==> 2CO2 + 2H2O

The oxygens are the real devil in this question. Be careful how you handle them. There are 2 * 2 = 4 from the CO2 and 2*1 = 2 from the water. The total is 6

Now you can't just put a 3 in front of the O2. There are 2 in the given chemical. So you don't need 6. You need 6 -2 = 4. But the oxygen is O2. You have to divide the 4 by 2 to get 2

C2H4O2 + 2O2 ==> 2CO2 + 2H2O  

And that's your answer.

2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O
algol13

Answer:

x = 4.5

4.5 moles of C2H6  is required to produce 13.5 moles of H2O

Explanation:

Given equation is :

2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O

if it requires 2 moles of C2H6 to produce 6 moles of H2O

then x moles of C2H6 is required to produce 13.5 moles of H2O

Using unitary method for solving, we get

x = 13.5 x 2 / 6

x = 13.5 / 3

x = 4.5

Therefore, 4.5 moles of C2H6  is required to produce 13.5 moles of H2O

Which of the following contains BOTH ionic and covalent bonds? Which of the following contains BOTH ionic and covalent bonds? Ca
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

BaSO₄

Explanation:

It is possible to know if a bond is ionic or covalent using the electronegativity of the atoms in the bond. If electronegativity difference is higher than 1.8, the bond is ionic, if doesn't, bond is covalent.

CaI₂ has the Ca-I bond where electronegativity of Ca and I are 1 and 2.66. Difference of electronegativity is 1.66 → <em>Bond is covalent.</em>

COS has the C-O and C-S bonds  where electronegativity of C, O and S are 2.55, 3.44 and 2.55. Difference of electronegativity are 0.89 and 0 → <em>Bonds are covalent.</em>

BaSO₄ has the Ba-O and O-S bonds  where electronegativity of Ba, O and S are 0.89, 3.44 and 2.55. Difference of electronegativity are 2.55 and 0.89 → <em>Bonds are ionic and covalent respectively</em><em>.</em>

SF₆ has the S-F bond where electronegativity of S and F are 2.55 and 3.98. Difference of electronegativity is 1.43 → <em>Bond is covalent.</em>
