What are nanochemicals and what are there uses?

1 answer:

6 0

Nanochemicals can be defined as chemicals generated by using nanomaterials (materials that possess of size on nanometer dimensions). The nanochemicals are used in multiple different applications including chemical warfare, bicycle making, armor design and military weapons crafting. The most commonly used and observed nanochemicals are carbon nanotubes that are used a ton in industry for applications such as stronger materials (stronger bicycles).

Smart materials are exquisitely designed materials whose property(ies) can be modified with the use of an external stimulus such as temperature, stress, pH, and so on. Some examples of smart materials include shape memory materials, piezoelectric materials, ferrofluids, self-healing materials, and such. Applications involve memory pillows, memory based solar panels (for satellites), light sensitive glasses, and so on.

Specialized materials are made specifically to perform a specified task or function. Applications involve electronic equipment (high purity silicon & germanium), machine tools (high tungsten high carbon steel), dental filling (dental amalgam), and so on.

Does potassium nitrate (KN03) incorporate ionic bonding, covalent bonding, or both? Explain.

ladessa [460]

Answer: $KNO_3$ incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here potassium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as $K^{+}$ cation and nitrate $NO_3^{-}$ is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $KNO_3$ . $NO_3^-$ is formed by sharing of electrons between two non metals nitrogen and oxygen.

Thus $KNO_3$ incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.

A sample of table sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11) has a mass of 1.202 g.

Archy [21]

Answer:

a) 0.003512 moles

b) Moles C= 0.04214 moles carbon

Moles H = 0.07726 moles hydrogen

Moles O = 0.03863 moles of oxygen

c) C atoms = 2.54 *10^22 carbon atoms

H atoms = 4.65 *10^22 hydrogen atoms

O atoms = 2.33 *10^22 oxygen atom

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sucrose = 1.202 grams

Molar mass of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of sucrose

Moles sucrose = Mass sucrose / molar mass sucrose

Moles sucrose = 1.202 grams / 342.3 g/mol

Moles sucrose = 0.003512 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of each element

For 1 mol of C12H22O11 we have 12 moles of carbon, 22 moles of hydrogen and 11 moles of oxygen

Moles C: 12*0.003512 = 0.04214 moles carbon

Moles H: 22* 0.003512 = 0.07726 moles hydrogen

Moles O: 11* 0.003512 = 0.03863 moles of oxygen

Step 4: Calculate the number of atoms

C atoms = 6.022 *10^23 / mol * 0.04214 moles = 2.54 *10^22 atoms carbon

H atoms = 6.022 * 10^23 / mol * 0.07726 moles = 4.65 *10^22 atoms H

O atoms = 6.022 * 10^23 / mol * 0.03863 moles = 2.33 *10^22 atoms O

0.003512 moles of sucrose containse 6.022 *10^23 * 0.003512 = 2.11 * 10^21 sucrose molecules
