At what pH range bayer process operate? and why?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Novosadov [1.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Bayer process is industrial method of the refining of the bauxite to produce alumina which is aluminum oxide.

As alumina is amphoteric in nature, it exhibits a higher solubility at both the extremes of pH range, it is possible to dissolve alumina in low as well as in high pH solutions.

Dissolution of the alumina at high pH is well recognized in Bayer process. Bauxite is digested in very <u>high pH solution (> 13)  of alkali</u> like sodium hydroxide at temperature of about 150–250°C and pressure at 20 atm. <u>This is done so that the dissolved alumina is separated from rest of insoluble bauxite minerals. </u>

g Tom's roommate Bob spilled crystal violet solution on his lab coat, and Tom offers to use some lye (sodium hydroxide solution)
irina [24]

Answer:

Tom is correct. The rate of reaction of Crystal violet and NaOH is first order with respect to NaOH, hence, a higher concentration of NaOH corresponds to a higher rate of reaction; a faster reaction.

This means the speed of cleaning depends on the concentration of the lye used.

Explanation:

The reaction between Crystal violet and NaOH, represented as

CV⁺ + OH⁻ → CVOH

It is a reaction that is know to turn the violet colour of the crystal violet colourless.

The rate of the reaction is also known to be second order; first order with respect to Crystal violet and first order with respect to NaOH.

This means that the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of NaOH provided all other parameters such as the rate constant and the concentration of Crystal violet are constant.

Hence, the reaction becomes faster with an increased concentration of NaOH.

So, Tom is right, concentrated lye solution would remove the stain faster.

Bob is wrong.

Hope this Helps!!!

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The conversion of liquid water into gaseous water is a chemical change

Explanation:

A chemical change occurs when there is a chemical reaction, so there'll be changed in the compounds, such as forming new ones, forming its elements, or elements forming compounds.

A physical change occurs when there is a change in the state of aggregation of the compound, it means that it changes its physical state. Solid for liquid, liquid for solid, liquid for gas, gas for liquid, solid for gas, and gas for solid are the physical changes.

So the evaporation of water, or its conversion in gaseous water, is a physical change, not a chemical change.

Carbon and silicon are tetravalent but ge sn pb show di valency. Why
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Carbon and silicon both are tetravalent elements as compared to germanium, tin, and lead which are divalent.

That's because Ge, tin, and Pb show inert pair effect and has a greater nuclear effective charge on the 's' electrons due to poor shielding effect.  .That's why these elements are not able to share their valence electrons while carbon and silicon does and show "catenation" which is the ability to form long chain molecules.
