Why is the nacl extracted with water three times as opposed to only once?

1 answer:

7 0

<span>The NaCl is extracted three times to get maximum amount of it. Each extraction only yeilds about 50% of the NaCl from the water. So, after the tird extraction, you would have recieved around 87.5% of the total amount of NaCl from the water(50%+25%+12.5%). After the third extraction, the amount of salt in the water will only be a small amount.</span>

A manganese electrode was oxidized electrically. If the mass of the electrode decreased by 225 mg during the passage of 1580 cou

qwelly [4]

Answer:

<u>Oxidation state of Mn = +4</u>

Explanation:

Atomic mass of Mn = 55g/mol

From Faraday's law of electrolysis,

Electrochemical equivalent = $\frac{mass}{charge}$

i.e Z = $\frac{m}{Q}$ = $\frac{0.225g}{1580C}$ = 0.0001424 g/C

But Equivalent weight, E = atomic mass ÷ valency = Z × 96,485

⇒ $\frac{55}{valency}$ = 0.0001424 × 96,485

<u>∴ Valency of Mn = +4</u>
