7 0

Covalent compounds are held together with an intra molecular attraction which is weaker than metallic bond

hence covalent compounds exist as liquids, gases and soft solids

Which of the following oils would consume the greatest number of equivalents of hydrogen when subject to catalytic hydrogenation
Murljashka [212]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a fatty acid contains high number of double bonds then its unsaturation will also be high and hence, it will consume greater number of equivalents of hydrogen.

In corn oil, there are no unsaturated sites are present.

In olive oil, there is one unsaturated site with majority of oleic acid. In olive oil, there are more than 70% of total unsaturated oils.

In lard oil, there are around 60% of unsaturated oils.

In herring oil, there are highest number of saturated fatty acids and lowest polyunsaturated acids.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, olive oils would consume the greatest number of equivalents of hydrogen when subject to catalytic hydrogenation.

Given a balanced chemical equation below: 3Cu(s) + 2H3PO4 --- &gt; Cu3(PO4)2 + 3H2 How many moles of copper are needed to react
Harman [31]

Answer:

7.5 moles

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

3Cu + 2H3PO4 —> Cu3(PO4)2 + 3H2

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of Cu reacted with 2 moles of H3PO4.

Therefore, Xmol of Cu will react with 5 moles of H3PO4 i.e

Xmol of Cu = (3 x 5)/2

Xmol of Cu = 7.5 moles

Therefore, 7.5 moles of Cu are needed to react with 5 moles of H3PO4.

The electrolysis of molten NaCl is an industrial process. What does the electrolysis produce?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

it is D

Explanation:

NaOH and chlorine gas

Electrolysis of Aqueous NaCl Since water can be both oxidized and reduced, it competes with the dissolved Na+ and Cl– ions. Rather than producing sodium, hydrogen is produced. ... The net process is the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of NaCl into industrially useful products sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and chlorine gas.
