How might you separate a mixture of sand and salt?

1 answer:

3 0

You can separate a mixture of salt and sand by...

First combing the mixture with water and mix thoroughly until the salt dissolves..

Then you could let the sand settle at the bottom of the salt water, so you can strain salt water to separate the sand from salt water...

To get salt... you would heat up the water to let it evaporate. When all the water is evaporated, the salt will be left behind

When octane (C8H18) is burned in the presence of oxygen, the yield of products (carbon dioxide and water) is 87%. What mass of c

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

14.5g of CO₂ are produced

Explanation:

The reaction of octane with oxygen is:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

<em>Where 1 mole of octane (Molar mass: 114.23g/mol) reacts with 25/2 moles of O₂ (Molar mass 32g/mol) to produce 8 moles of CO₂ and 9 moles of water.</em>

When 21.0 g of octane is burned with 19.0 g of oxygen gas you need to find <em>limiting reactant </em>to find how many moles of products are formed:

Octane: 21.0g ₓ (1mol / 114.23g) = 0.184 moles octane

Oxygen: 19.0g ₓ (1 mol / 32g) = 0.594 moles oxygen

For a complete reaction of 0.184 moles of octane you will need:

0.184 moles C₈H₁₈ ₓ (25/2 moles O₂ / 1 mole C₈H₁₈) = <em>2.3 moles of oxygen</em>

As you have just 0.594 moles of oxygen, <em>Oxygen is limiting reactant.</em>

Based on chemical equation, 25/2 of O₂ produce 8 moles of CO₂, that means theoretical yield of CO₂ with 0.594 moles of O₂ is:

0.594 moles O₂ ₓ (8 moles CO₂ / 25/2 moles O₂) = 0.380 moles of CO₂

But, as yield of products is 87%, moles produced of CO₂ are:

0.380 moles of CO₂ ₓ 87% = 0.331 moles CO₂ are produced.

As molar mass of CO₂ is 44g/mol, mass of CO₂ in 0.331 moles is:

0.331 moles CO₂ ₓ (44g / mol) =

<h3>14.5g of CO₂ are produced</h3>

I need chemistry help! How would I set up these problems?

Bond [772]

Answer: -

1) 8.33 minutes

2) 118.39 in/ s

180.43 m/min

10.83 km/ hr

Explanation: -

Speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Distance of the earth from the sun= 93 million miles

We know 1 million = 1,000,000

Also 1 mile = 1609 m

Distance of the earth from the sun= 93 million miles

= 93,000,000 miles.

= 1.5 x $10^{11}$ m

Time taken = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}$

= $\frac{1.5 x [tex] 10^{11}$ m}{3 x 10⁸ m/s} [/tex]

= 500 s

= 500/ 60

= 8.33 minutes

2) Distance = 1 mile = 63360 inches

Time taken = 8.92 min

= 8.92 x 60

= 535.2 s

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

= $\frac{63360 inches}{535.2 s}$

= 118.39 in/ s

Distance = 1 mile = 63360 inches = 63360 x 2.54 cm = 63360 x 2.54 x $10^{-2}$ m

Time taken = 8.92 min

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

= $\frac{63360 x 2.54 x [tex] 10^{-2}$ m}{8.92 min} [/tex]

= 180.43 m/ min

1 m = 10⁻³ Km

1 min = 1/60 hour

1 m /min = 10⁻³ km/ $\frac{1}{60 hour}$

= 60/1000

=0.06 km/hr

180.43 m / min = 180 x 0.06 km / hr

= 10.93 km / hr
