Indicate how you might prepare acetic acid from ethene

Chemistry
1 answer:
ruslelena [56]3 years ago
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.

A galvanic cell whose cell reaction is 2Fe3+(aq) + Zn(s) → 2Fe2+(aq) + Zn2+(aq) has a cell potential of 0.72V. What is the maxim
sesenic [268]

Answer:

138.96kJ is the maximum electrical work

Explanation:

The maximum electrical work that can be obtained from a cell is obtained from the equation:

W = -nFE

<em>Where W is work in Joules,</em>

<em>n are moles of electrons = 2mol e- because half-reaction of Zn is:</em>

Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

F is faraday constant = 96500Coulombs/mol

E is cell potential = 0.72V

Replacing:

W = -2mol*96500Coulombs/mol*0.72V

W = - 138960J =

<h3>138.96kJ is the maximum electrical work</h3>

If element x forms the oxides xo and x2o3 the oxidation numbers of element x are
Deffense [45]

Answer:

b) +2 and +3.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the molecular formulas:

XO

And:

X_2O_3

We can relate the subscripts with the oxidation states by knowing that they are crossed when the compound is formed, for that reason, we notice that oxygen oxidation state should be -2 for both cases and the oxidation state of X in the first formula must be +2 since both X and O has one as their subscript as they were simplified:

X^{+2}O^{-2}

Moreover, for the second case the oxidation state of X should be +3 in order to obtain 3 as the subscript of oxygen:

X_2^{+3}O_3^{-2}

Thus, answer is b)+2 and +3

Best regards.
