Propane can be turned into hydrogen by the two-step reforming process. In the first step, propane and water react to form carbon

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

C₃H₈(g) + 6 H₂O(g) ⇒ + 10 H₂(g) + 3 CO₂(g)

Explanation:

Propane can be turned into hydrogen by the two-step reforming process.

In the first step, propane and water react to form carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The balanced chemical equation is:

C₃H₈(g) + 3 H₂O(g) ⇒ 3 CO(g) + 7 H₂(g)

In the second step, carbon monoxide and water react to form hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The balanced chemical equation is:

CO(g) + H₂O(g) ⇒ H₂(g) + CO₂(g)

In order to get the net chemical equation for the overall process, we have to multiply the second step by 3 and add it to the first step. Then, we cancel what is repeated.

C₃H₈(g) + 3 H₂O(g) + 3 CO(g) + 3 H₂O(g) ⇒ 3 CO(g) + 7 H₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) + 3 CO₂(g)

C₃H₈(g) + 6 H₂O(g) ⇒ + 10 H₂(g) + 3 CO₂(g)

Sodium sulfate is slowly added to a solution containing 0.0500 M Ca 2 + ( aq ) and 0.0390 M Ag + ( aq ) . What will be the conce

levacccp [35]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Sodium sulfate is slowly added to a solution containing 0.0500 M $Ca^{2+}(aq)$ and 0.0390 M $Ag^{+}(aq)$ . What will be the concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ (aq) when $Ag_{2}SO_{4}(s)$ begins to precipitate? What percentage of the $Ca^{2+}(aq)$ can be separated from the Ag(aq) by selective precipitation?

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

$Ag_{2}SO_{4} \rightleftharpoons 2Ag^{+} + SO^{2-}_{4}$

$[Ag^{+}]$ = 0.0390 M

When $Ag_{2}SO_{4}$ precipitates then expression for $K_{sp}$ will be as follows.

$K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}]^{2}[SO^{2-}_{4}]$

$1.20 \times 10^{-5} = (0.0390)^{2} \times [SO^{2-}_{4}]$

$[SO^{2-}_{4}]$ = 0.00788 M

Now, equation for dissociation of calcium sulfate is as follows.

$CaSO_{4} \rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+} + SO^{2-}_{4}$

$K_{sp} = [Ca^{2+}][SO^{2-}_{4}]$

$4.93 \times 10^{-5} = [Ca^{2+}] \times 0.00788$

$[Ca^{2+}]$ = 0.00625 M

Now, we will calculate the percentage of $Ca^{2+}$ remaining in the solution as follows.

$\frac{0.00625}{0.05} \times 100$

= 12.5%

And, the percentage of $Ca^{2+}$ that can be separated is as follows.

100 - 12.5

= 87.5%

Thus, we can conclude that 87.5% will be the concentration of $Ca^{2+}(aq)$ when $Ag_{2}SO_{4}(s)$ begins to precipitate.

What characteristics of a metallic bond explains some of the properties of metals

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Metallic bonds involve attraction between electrons and positively charged metal ions. The metals are ionized and electrons form a sea of valence electrons. These loosely bound electrons surround the nuclei of the metals.

The presence of this sea of electrons explains the fact that metals conduct electricity and heat due to the free valence electrons.

Due to the nature of the bonding between metal atoms,metals are malleable and ductile.

Due to the strong electrostatic interaction between metal ions and electrons, the metallic bond is very strong and is very difficult to break thereby accounting for the greater strength of metals as the size of the metallic ion decreases.

Why do you require an acid catalyst to make an ester? Why not just mix acid and alcohol? Describe an alternate method of making

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:Acid catalyst is needed to increase the electrophilicity of Carbonyl group of Carboxylic acid as alcohol is a weak nucleophile.

Alternatively esters can be synthesised by converting carboxylic acid into acyl chloride using thionyl chloride(SOCl_{2} and then further treating acyl chloride with alcohol.

Carboxylic acid and esters can be easily distinguished on the basis of IR as carboxylic acid would contain a broad intense peak in 2500-3200cm_{-1} corresponding to OH stretching frequency whereas esters would not contain any such broad intense peak.

Alcohol and esters can also be distinguished using IR as alcohols would contain a broad intense peak at around 3200-3600cm_{-1}

Explanation: For the synthesis of esters using alcohol and carboxylic acid we need to add a little amount of acid in the reaction . The acid used here increases the electrophilicity of carbonyl carbon and hence makes it easier for a weaker nucleophile like alcohol to attack the carbonyl carbon of acid.

The oxygen of the carbonyl group is protonated using the acidic proton which leads to the generation of positive charge on the oxygen. The positive charge generated is delocalised over the whole acid molecule and hence the electrophilicity of carbonyl group is increased. Kindly refer attachment for the structures.

If we simply mix the acid and alcohol then no appreciable reaction would take place between them and ester formation would not take place because the carboxylic acid in that case is not a good electrophile whereas alcohol is also not a very strong nucleophile which can attack the carbonyl group.

Alternatively we can use thionyl chloride or any other reagent which can convert the carboxylic acid into acyl chloride. Acyl chloride is very elctrophilic and alcohol can very easily attack the acyl chloride and esters could be synthesized.

The carboxylic acid and ester can very easily be distinguished on the basis of broad intense OH stretching frequency peak at around 2500-3200cm_{-1} . The broad intense OH stretching frequency peak is present in carboxylic acids as they contain OH groups and absent in case of esters .

Likewise esters and alcohols can also be distinguished on the basis IR spectra as alcohols will have broad intense spectra at around 3200-3600cm_{-1}corresponding to OH stretching frequency whereas esters will not have any such peak. Rather esters would be having a Carbonyl stretching frequency at around 1720-1760
