Fractional distillation

Explanation:

The best way to separate the mixtures out is through the process of fractional distillation.

In fractional distillation, liquid - liquid mixtures are separated based on the differences in boiling point of their components. Let us examine the boiling points of the component of the mixtures:  

     Ethanol                  78⁰C

     Glycerol                290⁰C

     Ethylene glycol     197.6⁰C

     Methanol               64.7⁰C

     Water                     100⁰C

We see that the liquids in the mixture have different boiling points. In this process, the mixture is heated in a distillation column. When the boiling point of any component is reached, it will rise up in the column and can be channeled to a condenser where it is cooled and collected.

The liquid with the least boiling point is first separated with the one with the highest boiling is recovered last:

   Order of recovery;

               Methanol               64.7⁰C

               Ethanol                  78⁰C

                Water                    100⁰C

               Ethylene glycol     197.6⁰C

                Glycerol                290⁰C

How many total electrons does the P^3- ion have? O a. 3 O b. 31 O c.1 O d. 15 O e. 18
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

e. 18

Explanation:

A neutral P atom has an atomic number of 15, which means there are 15 protons in the atom. In order to be neutral, the P atom must also have 15 electrons.

The P³⁻ anion has 3 electrons more than the neutral P atom since it has a charge of -3.

Thus, the total number of electrons are 15 + 3 = 18 electrons.

One of the basic building blocks of matter, which cannot be broken down by chemical means is a(n)______ , of which there are 92
Nadusha1986 [10]

One of the basic building blocks of matter, which cannot be broken down by chemical means is an element.

The first chemical element is hydrogen (atomic number is 1) and the last is oganesson (atomic number is 118).

Elements are scheduled in Periodic table, ordered by their atomic number.

Other example, krypton is a chemical element with symbol Kr and atomic number 36.

Krypton has 36 electron and 36. It is noble gas (group 18).

Noble gases are in group 18: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). They have very low chemical reactivity.

Consider a sample of helium and a sample of neon, both at 30.0°C and 1.5 atm. Both samples have a volume of 5.0 liters. Which st
Triss [41]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas equation, we can calculate the number of moles present. I.e

PV = nRT

Since all the parameters are equal for both gases, we can simply deduce that both has the same number of moles of gases.

The relationship between the mass of each sample and the number of moles can be seen in the relation below :

mass in grammes = molar mass in g/mol × number of moles.

Now , we have established that both have the same number of moles. For them to have the same mass, they must have the same molar masses which is not possible.

Hence option A is wrong
