Describe the silica tetrahedron

Chemistry
1 answer:
Travka [436]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

This fundamental structural unit consists of a silicon cation surrounded by four oxygen anions giving it four negative charges. It is found in all silicate minerals (ie. amphibole, olivine, pyroxene, quartz, feldspar, etc.). The silica tetrahedra may be arranged in chains (ex: pyroxenes), double chains (ex. amphiboles), sheets (ex: micas), and frameworks (ex: quartz, feldspars), forming the basic structure of the planet.

DDT, an insecticide harmful to fish, birds, and humans, is produced by the following reaction. 2 C6H5Cl + C2HOCl3 → C14H9Cl5 + H
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

1,070.41 grams of DDT will be formed .Explanation:

1) 2 C_6H_5Cl + C_2HOCl_3\rightarrow C_{14}H_9Cl_5 + H_2O

Moles of chlorobenzene = \frac{1197 g}{112.5 g/mol}=10.64 mol

According to reaction, 2 moles of chloro benzene reacts with 1 mole of chloral . Then 10.64 moles of chloro benzene will react with :

\frac{1}{2}\times 10.64 mol=5.32 mole of chloral

2) Moles of chloral = \frac{456 g}{147.5 g/mol}=3.0915 mol

According to reaction, 1 moles of chloral reacts with 2 mole of chlorobenzene . Then 3.0915 moles of chloral will react with :

\frac{2}{1}\times 3.0915 mol=6.1830 mol of chloro benzene

As we can see that chloral is in limiting amount and chloro benzene is in excessive amount. So, amount of DDT will depend upon amount of chloral.

According to reaction, 1 mole chloral gives 1 mole DDT.Then 3.0195 moles of chloral will give :

\frac{1}{1}\times 3.0195 mol=3.0195 mol

Mass of 3.0195 moles of DTT :

3.0195 mol × 354.5 g/mol = 1,070.41 g

1,070.41 grams of DDT will be formed .

How much water, in grams, can be made from 1.03 x <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=10%5E%7B24%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="10^{2
krok68 [10]

Answer:

30.8 g of water are produced

Explanation:

First of all we need the equation for the production of water:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

2 moles of hydrogen react with 1 mol of oxygen in order to produce 2 moles of water.

As we assume, the oxygen in excess, we determine the moles of H₂.

1.03ₓ10²⁴ molecules . 1 mol/ 6.02ₓ10²³ molecules = 1.71 moles

Ratio is 2:2, so 1.71 moles will produce 1.71 moles of water

Let's convert the moles to mass: 1.71 mol . 18g / 1mol = 30.8 g of water are produced

As of right now, which of the following forms of nuclear power is the most feasible for human use?
nikitadnepr [17]

As of now, the nuclear fission is the most feasible energy source for human use. All the nuclear power plants are based on the controlled nuclear fission reaction, where the unstable nucleus is bombarded with high speed neutrons, thus, splitting the nucleus into stable ones and releasing huge amount of energy. The nuclear fusion requires very high temperature, the temperature equal's to that of the sun. Hence, it is not feasible right now. As the technology advances, we will see advancement in other form of energies.

A solution of 0.0027 M K2CrO4 was diluted from 3.00 mL to 100. mL. What is the molarity of the new solution?
Stells [14]

Answer:

[K₂CrO₄] → 8.1×10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

First of all, you may know that if you dilute, molarity must decrease.

In the first solution we need to calculate the mmoles:

M = mmol/mL

mL . M = mmol

0.0027 mmol/mL . 3mL = 0.0081 mmoles

These mmoles  of potassium chromate are in 3 mL but, it stays in 100 mL too.

New molarity is:

0.0081 mmoles / 100mL = 8.1×10⁻⁵ M
