Both rutile (TiO2) and  ilmenite (FeTiO3) has the equal percentage of titanium.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Titanium dioxide has the equal percentage of rutile and ilmenite. It's molecular weight is 79.87 gram per mole. Titanium oxide is a naturally occuring element produced from rutile,ilmenite and anatase.
  • These minerals combine and form titanium dioxide. It will be used in many applications. It will be used in many chemical reactions.
  • Titanium has a ph percentage of 7.5. It has a correct level of ph. So both has a equal level of titanium.

Rutile (TiO2) or ilmenite (FeTiO3) titanium-containing minerals  has the larger percentage of titanium is explained below.

Explanation:

1. Titanium is obtained from different ores that occur naturally on the Earth. Ilmenite (FeTiO3) and rutile (TiO2) are the most important sources of titanium.

2. According to USGS, Ilmenite(FeTio3) accounts for about 92% of the world’s consumption of titanium minerals.

3. World resources of anatase, ilmenite and rutile total more than 2 billion tonnes. Identified reserves total 750 million tonnes (ilmenite plus rutile).

4. China, with 20 million tonnes--accounting for 29% of the world total-- is now the country that is most abundant in terms of ilmenite reserves. Meanwhile, Australia, with 24 million tones rutile reserves—accounting for 50% of the world total—is now the country that is most abundant in terms of rutile reserves.

5.Ilmenite can be mined from both layered intrusive deposits and heavy mineral deposits. It is often found alongside rutile in heavy mineral deposits. Ilmenite is used to make titanium dioxide  pigment or it can be processed into feedstock that can be used in the manufacture of titanium. This has become more common as viable rutile deposits become increasingly scarce. South Africa and Australia are among the world’s largest producer of Ilmenite, each extracting over a million metric tonnes per year.

6.The Mining of titanium from intrusive rock is restricted to ilmenite and its weathered derivative leucoxene. The largest opencast ilmenite mine is Tellnes in Norway’s municipality of Sokndal.

Answer Quickly : Define and compare boiling points, melting points, and freezing points.
juin [17]
Boiling point is the temperature at which a substance begins to change to a gas. Melting point is the temperature at which a substance begins to turn into a liquid. And freezing point is the temperature at which a substance begins turning into a solid.

Answer:

A. Na₂SO₄ and HCl

C. Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents but are insoluble in non-polar solvents Non-polar solutes are insoluble in polar solvents but are are soluble in non-polar solvents

Ionic solutes are soluble in polar solvents but are insoluble in non-polar solvents.

Like dissolves like simply means that molecules of substances having similar chemical properties dissolve in each other

Explanation:

A. Ionic substances like Na₂SO₄ are composed of charged particles called ions. These ions are either positively charged or negatively charged, therefore, they are attracted to substances of opposite charges. Also, polar molecules like HCl contains two oppositely charged ends. A polar solvent consists of molecules with two oppositely charged ends, therefore, ionic substances as well polar substances dissolve in them according to the concept of like dissolves like.

Gasoline being non-polar will only dissolve in like substances, polar solvents.

C. Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents but are insoluble in non-polar solvents Non-polar solutes are insoluble in polar solvents but are are soluble in non-polar solvents

Ionic solutes are soluble in polar solvents but are insoluble in non-polar solvents.

The statement "Like dissolves like" simply means that molecules of substances having similar chemical properties dissolve in each other. For example gasoline, a non-polar substance will dissolve only in a non-polar solvent like kerosene. Also, HCl, a polar molecule will dissolve in a polar solvent like water.

Determine the freezing point and boiling point of a solution that has 68.4 g of sucrose
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Freezing T° of solution = - 3.72°C

Boiling T° of solution =  101.02°C

Explanation:

To solve this we apply colligative properties. Firstly, freezing point depression:

ΔT = Kf . m . i

ΔT = Freezing T° of pure solvent - Freezing T° of solution

Kf = Cryoscopic constant, for water is 1.86 °C/m

m = molality (moles of solute in 1kg of solvent)

i = Ions dissolved in solution

Our solute is sucrose, an organic compound so no ions are defined. i = 1.

Let's determine the moles: 68.4 g . 1mol/ 342g = 0.2 moles

molality = 0.2 mol / 0.1kg of water = 2 m

We replace data: ΔT = 1.86°C/m . 2m . 1

Freezing T° of solution = - 3.72°C

Now, we apply elevation of boiling point: ΔT = Kb . m . i

ΔT = Boiling T° of solution - Boiling T° of  pure solvent

Kf = Ebulloscopic constant, for water is 0.512 °C/m

We replace:

Boiling T° of solution - Boiling T° of pure solvent = 0.512 °C/m . 2 . 1

Boiling T° of solution = 0.512 °C/m . 2 . 1 + 100°C → 101.02°C
