What is one chemical reaction that begins with petroleum as a starting material

Chemistry

6 0

Answer:

Thermal decomposition or cracking

Explanation:

Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which are usually formed naturally. Petroleum undergo a host of chemical reactions. One of such is thermal decomposition or cracking.

Cracking is used in the petroleum industry to covert heavy fractions to more useful lighter ones.

When petroleum is subjected to high temperature and pressure, and in the presence of catalyst, the long chain type of petroleum will decompose into more useful smaller and lighter molecules.

Example is given below:

                  C₁₅H₃₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₃H₆ + 2C₂H₄

Student carries out a titration to determine the concentration of a solution of
Nimfa-mama [501]

The concentration of the Nitric acid solution : 0.114 M

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Titration is a procedure for determining the concentration of a solution (analyte) by reacting with another solution whose known concentration (usually a standard solution) is called the titrant. Determination of the endpoint/equivalence point of the reaction can use indicators according to the appropriate pH range  

Titrations can be acid-base titration, depositional titration, and redox titration. An acid-base titration is the principle of neutralization of acids and bases  

Reaction

HNO₃ + NaOH → NaNO₃ + H₂O​

Concentration a standard solution  of sodium hydroxide :  0.0998 mol/dm³ , and the volume = 25 cm³

moles NaOH=

\tt mol=M\times V\\\\mol=0.0998\times 25\\\\mol=2.495~mlmoles

<em>From the equation, mol ratio HNO₃ : NaOH = 1 : 1, so mol HNO₃ = mol NaOH=</em><em>2.495 mlmoles</em>

<em></em>

The volume of HNO₃ = 21.8 cm³, so the concentration :

\tt M=\dfrac{n}{V}\\\\M=\dfrac{2.495}{21.8}\\\\M=0.114

In the essay box, compose a scientific report which includes your observations, data, and conclusions. The following questions s
timama [110]

Answer:

1. It depends what type of method you are using. if it is Height x Width x Length then it will not work for an irregular shape because it has extra pieces that would not be included.

2. The second method would work for both regular and irregular shapes because you would have to know or find out the volume of the regular shape to get the volume for the irregular shape.

3. It also depends on what you are doing, if you are doing a regular shape then use the first method, if it's an irregular shape then use the second method, if you do the maths correctly both should give you an accurate answer for what you want to achieve.

4. No, because the sugar would dissolve.

5. No, on this case the displacement method would not work because of the weight difference

A bar graph of boiling point of milk and water​
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The boiling point of milk is close to the boiling point of water, which is 100 degrees C, or 212 degrees F at sea level, but milk contains additional molecules, so its boiling point is slightly higher.
