Let's start with the amount given in percent. Let our basis be 100 grams of compound. So, that means that in this amount, 57.1 g is oxygen and 100-57.1=42.9 g is carbon. Since there is 1:1 atom ratio, it also means that moles oxygen = moles carbon.

Moles = Mass/Relative Mass
Let x be the relative mass of oxygen

57.1/16 = 42.9/x
Solving for x,
<em>x = 12.02 amu</em>

In a distillation operation, the heat added to the boiler a) increases with increase in reflux ratio b) decreases with increase
Leni [432]

Answer:

a) increases with increase in reflux ratio

Explanation:

If we increase the reflux ratio, which can de defined as : L/D = Condesate back to column /distillate discarded from column, it means that we increase the amount of condensate back to column. So the reboiler load will increase and be maximum in case of Total reflux ratio. And as vapor load will be increased, diameter of column will be increased too.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

In order of basicity we have

1. Soda pop (Least basic Normally called acidic)

2. Orange juice

3. Milk

4. Blood (slightly basic)

5. Hand soap

6. Drain cleaner (Highly basic)

Explanation:

Orange juice; the pH of orange juice is in the 3.3 to 4.2 range

Milk; the pH of milk about 6.5 to 6.7

Blood; the blood pH is around 7.35 to 7.45

Hand soap with contents such as ammonium hydroxide is basic, its  pH is about 9-10

Drain cleaner contains baking soda or sodium bicarbonate which basic with a  pH of 12 to 14

Soda pop pH of soda pop is in the range of 2.34 to 3.10. It contains carbonated water with a pH of 3–4, making it mildly acidic.

Arranging the above listed in order of increasing basicity, we have

1. Soda pop

2. Orange juice

3. Milk

4. Blood

5. Hand soap

6. Drain cleaner
