How can large hydrocarbon molecules be cracked in an oil refinery?

Chemistry

7 0

Explanation:

Large hydrocarbon molecules can be cracked in an oil refinery through the process of cracking. Cracking of hydrocarbons involves the use of heat, pressure and catalyst to resolve heavy hydrocarbons into simpler and more useful products.

  • Cracking of hydrocarbons is very essential in the oil refinery.
  • Cracking helps to break giant hydrocarbon molecules into simple and more useful ones.
  • Fractional distillation separates oil molecules into its different components based on their different boiling points.
  • The fractions produced a times are usually long chained and are not in high demand.
  • Catalytic cracking and thermal cracking helps to break the long chains of the heavy hydrocarbons fractions into simpler ones.

Limiting Reactant Worksheet
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

a) 1.61 mol

b) Al is limiting reactant

c) HBr is in excess

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of Al = 3.22 mol

Moles of HBr = 4.96 mol

Moles of H₂ formed = ?

What is limiting reactant =

What is excess reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al  + 2HBr  → 2AlBr + H₂

Now we will compare the moles:

                Al              :               H₂

                  2              :               1

                 3.22         :            1/2×3.22 = 1.61 mol

                HBr            :              H₂

                 2                :               1

                4.96            :          1/2×4.96 = 2.48 mol      

The number of moles of H₂ produced by Al are less it will be limiting reactant while HBr is present in excess.

Moles of H₂ :

Number of moles of H₂ = 1.61 mol

Discuss the shapes of s- orbitals, p-orbitals and d-orbitals.
timurjin [86]

The azimuthal quantum number (l) determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.

s-orbitals (for example 1s, 2s) are spherically symmetric around the nucleus of the atom.

p-orbitals are dumb-bell shaped. l = 0,1...n-1, when l = 1, that is p subshell.

d-orbitals are butterfly shaped.

The following balanced equation describes the reduction of iron(III) oxide to molten iron within a blast furnace: Fe2O3(s) + 3CO
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Amount of excess Carbon (ii) oxide left over = 23.75 g

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction: Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ----> 2Fe + 3CO₂

Molar mass of Fe₂O₃ = 160 g/mol;

Molar mass of Carbon (ii) oxide = 28 g/mol

From the equation of reaction, 1 mole of Fe₂O₃ reacts with 3 moles of carbon (ii) oxide; i.e. 160 g of iron (iii) oxide reacts with 84 g (3 * 28 g)  of carbon (ii) oxide

450 g of Fe₂O₃ will react with 450 * 84/180) g of carbon (ii) oxide = 236..25 g of carbon (ii) oxide

Therefore the excess reactant is carbon (ii) oxide.

Amount of excess Carbon (ii) oxide left over = 260 - 236.25

Amount of excess Carbon (ii) oxide left over = 23.75 g
