Describe and explain how petrol is separated from the mixture of hydrocarbons in crude oil.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anna71 [15]3 years ago

The process is called fractional distillation.  It works by heating up the crude oil inside a chamber to a boil (vaporizing it). Due to the fact that each component of crude oil has a different boiling point, each component of the crude oil will condense at a different height inside the chamber since the chamber gets colder the further up you go away from the heat source. Since each component condenses at different heights in the chamber, there are places to collect condensing liquid at different heights in the chamber (The heights correspond to the boiling point of each component).  These collection areas will collect only the component of crude oil that condenses at that temperature.  The condensing point is basically the boiling point which means the lower in the chamber that component condenses at, the higher the boiling point for that component is and therefore the heavier that component is (the heavier components get collected near the bottom of the chamber while the lighter components get collected near the top of the chamber).

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

A 500 ml aqueous solution of na3po4 was prepared using 82g of the solute. what is the molarity​
liraira [26]

Answer:

1 M

Explanation:

The molarity of a solution, M, is a measure of the concentration of that solution and it refers to the number of moles of solute (mol) per liter (L) of solution. The molarity (M) can be calculated using the formula:

M = number of moles (n) /volume (V)

In this question, a 500 ml aqueous solution of Na3PO4 was prepared using 82g of the solute.

Molar mass of Na3PO4 = 23(3) + 15 + 16(4)

= 69 + 31 + 64

= 164g/mol

Mole = mass/molar mass

mole = 82/164

mole = 0.5 mol

Volume in Litres (L) = 500 ml ÷ 1000 = 0.500L

Therefore, Molarity (M) = 0.5/0.500

Molarity = 1 M or 1 mol/L

Provide only the major alkene product that results when n,n-dimethylhexan-2-amine undergoes cope elimination?
Fofino [41]

The major alkene  product that results when n,n-dimethylhexan-2-amine undergoes cope elimination is hexene or hex-1-ene.

The reaction in which an amine is oxidize to an intermediate called an N-oxide which , when heated , acts as base in an intramolecular elimination reaction. The oxidation of tertiary amine into N-oxide is called cope reaction.

This elimination gives the less substituted alkene along with more substituted alkene which is Zaitsev product.

Example: Cope elimination of  n,n-dimethylhexan-2-amine form hexene.

The radius of the smaller circle is 8 feet. The distance from the rim of the inner circle to the rim of the outer circle is 3 fe
postnew [5]

Answer:

178.98 sq. feet

Explanation:

The path and the garden has been shown in the figure below. The green area is the garden and the area in brown is the path.

It has been given that,

Radius of garden = 8 feet

So, the area of garden = 3.14 × 8 × 8 = 200.96 sq. feet

The total radius of the land including garden and path = 8 + 3 = 11 feet

So, the total are of land including garden and path = 3.14 × 11 × 11 = 379.94 sq. feet

So, the area of path = Total area of the land - area of garden

Area of path = 379.94 - 200.96 = 178.98 sq. feet

Balanced nuclear equation forces the alpha decay Po-210
Serjik [45]

Answer:

_{84}^{210}\text{Po} \longrightarrow \, _{82}^{206}\text{Pb} \, + \, _{2}^{4}\text{He}

Explanation:

Your unbalanced nuclear equation is:

_{84}^{210}\text{Po} \longrightarrow \, _{x}^{y}\text{Z} + \, _{2}^{4}\text{He}

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that the sums of the superscripts and the subscripts must be the same on each side of the equation.  

Then

 84 = x + 2, so x =  84 - 2 =   82

210 = y + 4, so y = 210 - 4 = 206

Element 82 is lead, so the nuclear equation becomes

_{84}^{210}\text{Po} \longrightarrow \, _{82}^{206}\text{Pb} \, + \, _{2}^{4}\text{He}
