At what pH range bayer process operate? and why?

Chemistry

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>

tangare [24]

Answer:

An emulsifying agent is typically characterized by having <u><em>d. one polar end and one nonpolar end.</em></u>

Explanation:

Emulsifiers are substances that have the ability to bind, for example, fats with those substances that have mostly water in their conformation. In other words, the emulsifier facilitates mixtures of two or more immiscible liquid substances.

This is because the molecules of an emulsifier are often lipophilic (attract oil) at one end and hydrophilic (attract water) at the other. In other words it consists of a polar (hydrophilic) head group and a non-polar (hydrophobic) tail.

If 12.6 grams of iron (III) oxide reacts with 9.65 grams of carbon monoxide to produce 7.23 g of pure iron, what are the theoret
Mariana [72]
The balanced equation is Fe₂O₃ + 3 CO = 2 Fe + 3 CO₂.
Next step is to convert everything to moles.
12.6g Fe₂O₃ x (1 mol Fe₂O₃ / 159.7g Fe₂O₃) = 0.07890 mol Fe₂O₃ 
9.65g CO x (1 mol CO / 28.01g CO) = 0.3445 mol CO
The third step is to determine the limiting and excess reactants.
0.07890 mol Fe₂O₃ x (3 mol CO/1 mol Fe₂O₃) = 0.2367 mol CO
Therefore Fe₂O₃ is the limiting reagent while CO is in excess.

0.07890 mol Fe x (2 mol Fe(s) / 1 mol Fe₂O₃) = 0.1578 mol Fe(s) 
0.1578 mol Fe x (55.84g Fe / mole Fe) = 8.812g Fe is the theoretical yield
%yield = (7.23g / 8.812g) x 100% = 82.0% is the percent yield
