Purification of copper can be achieved by electrorefining copper from an impure copper anode onto a pure copper cathode in an el

ectrolytic cell. How many hours will it take to plate 19.0 kg of copper onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 39.5 A ? Assume the copper in the electrolytic solution is present as Cu 2 + .

Answer: 406 hours

Explanation:

Q=I\times t

where Q= quantity of electricity in coloumbs

I = current in amperes = 39.5 A

t= time in seconds = ?

The deposition of copper at cathode is represented by:

Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu

96500\times 2=193000 Coloumb of electricity deposits 1 mole of copper

i.e. 63.5 g of copper is deposited by = 193000 Coloumb

Thus 19.0 kg or 19000 g of copper is deposited by = \frac{193000}{63.5}\times 19000=57748032 Coloumb

57748032=39.5\times t

t=1461975sec=406hours    (1hour=3600s)

Thus it will take 406 hours to plate 19.0 kg of copper onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 39.5 A

What mass, in grams, of CO2 and H20 N<br> is formed from 2.55 mol of propane?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: The mass of CO_2 and H_2O produced are 336.6 g and 183.6 g respectively.

Explanation:

The combustion reaction between propane and oxygen leads to formation of carbon dioxide and water.

Law of Conservation of mass states that the mass will remain constant for a balanced equation. This is carried out when the total number of atoms on reactant side is same as the total number of atoms on the product side. Thus the equation must be balanced.

C_3H_8+5O_2\rightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O

a) 1 mol of propane produces = 3 moles of CO_2

Thus 2.55 mol of propane produces = \frac{3}{1}\times 2.55=7.65 moles of [tex]CO_2

mass of CO_2=moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=7.65mol\times 44g/mol=336.6g

b) 1 mol of propane produces = 4 moles of H_2O

Thus 2.55 mol of propane produces = \frac{4}{1}\times 2.55=10.2 moles of [tex]H_2O

mass of H_2O=moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=10.2mol\times 18g/mol=183.6g

The mass of CO_2 and H_2O produced are 336.6 g and 183.6 g respectively.

Identify the intermediate in the halogenation of alkanes.a) Anionb) Cationc) Radicald) Dimer
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer: Option C - Radical

Explanation:

A radical is a chemical specie carrying a lone electron. In the halogenation of alkanes: take Methane CH4 as the alkane, and Chlorine Cl as the halogen.

The step by step halogenation process is as follows:

CH4 + Cl2 --> CH3• + HCl + Cl•

CH3• + Cl2 --> CH3Cl + HCl

CH3Cl + Cl2 --> CH2Cl2 + HCl + Cl•

CH2Cl2 + Cl2 --> CHCl3 + HCl

CHCl3 + Cl2 --> CCl4 + HCl + Cl•

Chlorine molecule attack methane knocking off an hydrogen atom from it and forming a methyl radical (CH3•), that is subsequently attack by another chlorine molecule. This cycle repeats itself, until no hydrogen atom is available for substitution by the highly reactive chlorine radical.

Note: no cation or anion is formed in the halogenation process

Why is carbon good for forming the structure of life?
Leni [432]
First things first carbon is quite common element here in Earth. But it is not all, right? Otherwise we would be built from other, more common elements. The thing is in carbon reactiveness. Also energy needed to create carbon chemical compounds isnt that big when compared to etc nitrogen. It can bind up to 4 different elements (atoms). Thanks to this can givesingle, both and triple bindings! Carbon can give away electrons or take them making his degree of oxidation consequently from -IV to +IV. All this vareity leads to vareity of bigger elements that will be created from carbon later- carbohydrates, proteins etc. As life needs vareity to adapt to different situations and climax only carbon therefore can provide this.
