You are assigned the task of separating a desired granular material, with a density of 3.26 g/cm3, from an undesired granular ma

terial that has a density of 2.04 g/cm3. You want to do this by shaking the mixture in a liquid. A solid will float on any liquid that is more dense. Using an Internet-based source, find the densities of the following substances: carbon tetrachl oride, hexane, benzene, and diiodomethane. Which of these liquids will serve your purpose, assuming no chemical interaction between the liquid and the solids?

Answer:

diiodomethane

Explanation:

The densities of each of the liquids mentioned in the question are stated below;

CCl4- 1.59 g/cm^3

Hexane- 0.672 g/cm^3

Benzene- 0.8765 g/cm^3

Diiodomethane- 3.3 g/cm^3

Clearly, the density of diiodomethane methane is almost the same as that of the desired granular material, hence the undesired granular material having a density of 2.04 g/cm3 will float in diiodomethane thus separating the two granular materials.

Which of the following reactions could be used to extract the lead from the lead nitrate?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Option b. Decomposition

Followed by a reduction process using charcoal

Explanation:

Lead can be obtained from lead nitrate by thermal decomposition of lead nitrate as shown below:

2Pb(NO3)2 —> 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2

The PbO obtained is reduced by charcoal(C) to obtain the metallic Pb as shown below:

2PbO + C —> Pb + CO2

<span>Electrons in a nitrogen-phosphorus covalent bond are not shared equally because nitrogen and phosphorus do not have the same electronegativity. The atoms spend more time around the most electronegative atom nitrogen.</span>

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

OH−(aq), and H+(aq)

Explanation:

Redox reactions may occur in acidic or basic environments. Usually, if a reaction occurs in an acidic environment, hydrogen ions are shown as being part of the reaction system. For instance, in the reduction of the permanganate ion;

MnO4^-(aq) + 8H^+(aq) +5e-------> Mn^2+(aq) + 4H2O(l)

The appearance of hydrogen ion in the reaction equation implies that the process takes place under acidic reaction conditions.

For reactions that take place under basic conditions, the hydroxide ion is part of the reaction equation.

Hence hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion are included in redox reaction half equations depending on the conditions of the reaction whether acidic or basic.
