Indicate how you might prepare acetic acid from ethene

1 answer:

8 0

Acetic acid can be prepared from ethane by oxidizing it. Acetic acid is generally a carboxylic acid. These acids can be made by the oxidation of alcohols using potassium dichromate(VI) solution with sulfuric acid. Ethane is made into acetic acid in two steps. First it is formed into an aldehyde and then to acetic acid.

Answer : The time passed in years is $2.74\times 10^2\text{ years}$

Explanation :

Half-life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{0.693}{5730\text{ years}}$

$k=1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}$

t = time passed by the sample = ?

a = initial amount of the reactant disintegrate = 15.3

a - x = amount left after decay process = 14.8

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

$t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{15.3}{14.8}$

$t=274.64\text{ years}=2.74\times 10^2\text{ years}$

Therefore, the time passed in years is $2.74\times 10^2\text{ years}$

Element X has two isotopes. If 72.0% of the element has an isotope mass of 84.9 atomic mass units, and 28.0% of the element has

bija089 [108]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Average atomic mass of an element is the sum of the masses of its isotopes each multiplied by its natural abundance

$\footnotesize \longrightarrow \: \rm Average \: atomic \: mass = \dfrac{ \sum\limits \: \% age \: of \: each \: isotope \times Atomic \: mass }{100} \\$

$\footnotesize \longrightarrow \: \rm Average \: atomic \: mass = \dfrac{ 72 \times84.9 + 28 \times 87 }{100} \\$

$\footnotesize \longrightarrow \: \rm Average \: atomic \: mass = \dfrac{ 6112.8 + 2436 }{100} \\$

$\footnotesize \longrightarrow \: \rm Average \: atomic \: mass = \dfrac{ 8548.8 }{100} \\$

$\footnotesize \longrightarrow \: \bf Average \: atomic \: mass = 85.488 \: amu \\$
