An atoms atomic mass is the sum of it's proton and neutrons found in the nucleus. An atom's atomic number is the number of protons an atom has. By subtracting an element's atomic number from the atomic mass you can calculate the number of neutrons. For oxygen it would be sixteen minus eight, so oxygen has eight neutrons.

The compounds below are to be separated by extraction. A student dissolves the compounds in either and then transfers the soluti

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

1) Separate the aqueous layer from the organic layer using the separation funnel.

2) Treat the aqueous layer to obtain compound A.

3) Distilated the organic layer to obtain compound B.

Explanation:

When NaOH is added to the mixture the acid groups will react to produce a salt and increases the polarity of the compounds due to the net charges generated. (Figure 1).

Therefore, the salt produced by compound A will move to the aqueosus layer. Compound B dont react due to the lack of acid groups. So, this molecule will stay in the organic layer.

When the aqueous layer is separated from the organic layer using the separation funnel we will have a separation. The compound will remain in the aqueous layer and compound b will remain in the organic layer.

Then we aqueous layer can be treated with HCl in order to obtain the initial A molecule, in other words: Undo the ionic form of compound A.

The organic layer can be removed by distillation in order to obtain the pure form of compound B.

Determine what mass of carbon monoxide and what mass of hydrogen are required to form 6.0 kg of methanol by the reaction CO(g) +

siniylev [52]

Answer:

5250 grams or 5.25 kg of carbon monoxide and 375 grams of hydrogen are required to form 6 kg of methanol.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction:

CO (g) + 2 H₂ (g) -> CH₃OH (l)

By stoichiometry of the reaction, the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

CO: 1 mole
H₂: 2 moles
CH₃OH: 1 mole

Being the molar mass of each compound:

CO: 28 g/mole
H₂: 1 g/mole
CH₃OH: 32 g/mole

By reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

CO: 1 mole* 28 g/mole= 28 grams
H₂: 2 moles* 1 g/mole= 2 grams
CH₃OH: 1 mole* 32 g/mole= 32 grams

Being 6 kg equivalent to 6000 grams (1 kg= 1000 grams), you can apply the following rules of three:

If by stoichiometry 32 grams of methanol are formed from 28 grams of carbon monoxide, 6000 grams of methanol are formed from how much mass of carbon monoxide?

$mass of carbon monoxide=\frac{6000 grams of methanol*28 grams of carbon monoxide}{32 grams of methanol}$

mass of carbon monoxide= 5250 grams= 5.25 kg

If by stoichiometry 32 grams of methanol are formed from 2 grams of hydrogen, 6000 grams of methanol are formed from how much mass of hydrogen?

$mass of hydrogen=\frac{6000 grams of methanol*2 grams of hydrogen}{32 grams of methanol}$

mass of hydrogen= 375 grams

5250 grams or 5.25 kg of carbon monoxide and 375 grams of hydrogen are required to form 6 kg of methanol.

What is Equilibrium? I’m a little confused on the topic. You’ll get a lot of points if you answer I think.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

to put it simply, equilibrium is when two opposing forces balance each other out. one example is boats: you know how the bottom half is curved, and then meets at an edge? they design it like that because of water displacement. by gravity, the water wants to go back to the area taken by the boats mass (the parts where it has sunken into the water), thus preventing the boat from sinking. once the boat is removed, the water returns to the space. most liquids take form of their container.
