Methanol (methyl alcohol, CH₃OH), is a very important industrial chemical. Formerly, methanol was prepared by heating wood to hi

gh temperatures in the absence of air. The complex compounds present in wood are degraded by this process into a charcoal residue and a volatile portion that is rich in methanol. Today, methanol is instead synthesized from carbon monoxide and molecular hydrogen. Write the balanced chemical equation for this latter process. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Omit states-of-matter in your answer.)

Answer:

CO(g) + 2H₂(g) → CH₃OH(l)

Explanation:

Carbon monoxide has molecular formula CO, molecular hydrogen has formula H₂, and methanol is CH₃OH.

The reactants are CO and H₂ and the product CH₃OH:

CO(g) + H₂(g) → CH₃OH(l)

To balance the equation, the elements must have the same amount on each side. C and O are balanced, but there is 4H in the product and only 2 in the reactant, so we multiply H₂ for 2:

CO(g) + 2H₂(g) → CH₃OH(l)

And the equation is balanced.

These models show the electron structures of two different nonmetal elements.
Soloha48 [4]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Valence shell is the shell present on the outermost core of an atom and electrons present in the valence shell are known as valence electrons.

If an atom has completely filled valence shell then it means the atom is not reactive in nature because it is already stable.

But when an atom has less than eight electrons in its valence shell then it means to attain stability the atom will readily attract electrons towards itself.

As the given element 1 has 8 electrons in its valence shell. Hence, it is not reactive in nature but element 2 has 6 valence electrons. So, in order to attain stability element 2 will readily attract 2 electrons from a donor atom.

Thus, we can conclude that element 2 is more reactive because it does not have a full valence shell, so it will attract electrons.

Determine the freezing point of a 0.51 molal
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

-65.897°C.

Explanation:

  • Adding solute to water causes depression of the boiling point.
  • The depression in freezing point (ΔTf) can be calculated using the relation: <em>ΔTf = Kf.m,</em>

where, ΔTf is the depression in freezing point of chloroform solution.

Kf is the molal depression constant of chloroform (Kf = 4.70°C.kg/mol).

m is the molality of the solution (m = 0.51 m).

∴ ΔTf = Kf.m = (4.70°C.kg/mol)(0.51 m) = 2.397°C.

∴ The freezing point of the solution = (freezing point of chloroform) - ΔTf = (-63.5°C) - (2.397°C) = -65.897°C.
