How are fireworks made ?

Chemistry

Nadusha1986 [10]3 years ago
4 0
Aerial fireworks are usually manufactured as a shell that is made up of four parts. The container consists of pasted paper. The fuse allows the shell to reach the desired altitude before exploding. A bursting charge made of black powder (like a firecracker) is at the center of the shell.

How do humans increase eutrophication?
timama [110]
Human activities can contribute excess amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus into water. Therefore,human causes of eutrophicationinclude the use of agricultural fertilizers. Other causes include sewage and aquaculture, which is the growing or farming of fish, shellfish and aquatic plants.

Why carbon monoxide is not acidic ​
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Well, carbon monoxide can be created from formic acid by adding sulphuric acid which will dehydrate said formic acid:

HCOOH

−

→

−

−

−

H

2

SO

4

CO+H

2

O

HCOOH→HX2SOX4CO+HX2O

Therefore, we can imagine the reverse reaction theoretically, which would make carbon monoxide an acidic oxide. However, the forward reaction does not proceed easily and it needs both the high acidity of sulphuric acid and its strong dehydrative properties to actually work. And your question mentions using hot, concentrated sodium hydroxide to make the reverse one work.

Most oxides that are classified as acidic or basic either have a very electrophilic central atom (e.g.  

CO

2

COX2

) which can be attacked by the weak nucleophile water (which in turn can then release an acidic proton), or they have a high charge density on the oxygen which allows it to abstract a proton from water directly. Carbon monoxide is neither. If you check out its molecular orbitals, you will notice that even though carbon is partially positive it has the largest HOMO contribution, meaning a proton would be more likely to attatch to the carbon side — which doesn’t want one at all. The LUMO is, luckily, also more carbon-centred, meaning nucleophilic attacks on carbon are possible. However, it is also degenerate due to the double bond so that an attack is not favoured.

Thus, the carbon monoxide molecule is one that won’t react with water at all and totally defies the concept of acidic/basic oxides.

Abbreviations:

HOMO is a widely used abbreviation for the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital, i.e. the one with the highest energy that still contains electrons. It is usually the orbital that will attack nucleophilicly or that will be attacked electrophilicly.

LUMO is a widely used abbreviation for the Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital, i.e. the virtual (unoccupied) orbital that has the lowest energy. When considering a nucleophilic attack, the attacking electrons will usually interact with the LUMO. Electrophiles attack with other molecules’ HOMO with their LUMO.

What volume of 0.4567 m h2so4 is required to neutralize 30.00 ml of 0.3210 m naoh?
sertanlavr [38]
Answer is: volume of H₂SO₄ is 42.1 mL.<span>
Chemical reaction: H</span>₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.<span>
c(H</span>₂SO₄) = 0,4567 M = 0,4567 mol/L.<span>
V(NaOH) = 30 mL </span>÷ 1000 mL/L <span>= 0,03 L.
c(NaOH) = 0,321 M = 0,321 mol/L.
n(NaOH) = c(NaOH) · V(NaOH).
n(NaOH) = 0,321 mol/L · 0,030 L.
n(NaOH) = 0,00963 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(H</span>₂SO₄) : n(NaOH) = 1 : 2.<span>
n(H</span>₂SO₄) = 0,01926 mol.<span>
V(H</span>₂SO₄) = n(H₂SO₄) ÷ c(H₂SO₄).<span>
V(H</span>₂SO₄) = 0,01926 mol ÷ 0,4567 mol/L.<span>
V(H</span>₂SO₄<span>) = 0,0421 L = 42,1 mL.</span>
