Two plastics that are targeted for recycling from household waste are polyethylene terephthalate (PETE) and high density polyeth

ylene (HDPE). One of the problems of recycling such materials is separating them. Suppose you have been hired to set up a process for separating large quantities of waste plastic that is a mixture of PETE and HDPE. Describe how you might perform this separation.

The separation can easily be carried out on the basis of the difference in densities of polyehtylene terephthalate (PETE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE). To do this, we may grind the polymers into chips and then begin vibrating the mixture of the plastics. The more dense HDPE chips will settle to the bottom and the less dense PETE chips will remain at the upper portion.

A student dissolved 5.00 g of Co(NO3)2 in enough water to make 100. mL of stock solution. He took 4.00 mL of the stock solution
Marianna [84]

Answer:

0.136g

Explanation:

A student dissolved 5.00 g of Co(NO3)2 in enough water to make 100. mL of stock solution. He took 4.00 mL of the stock solution and then diluted it with water to give 275. mL of a final solution. How many grams of NO3- ion are there in the final solution?

Co(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)

Initial mole of Co(NO3)2  =\frac{mass}{molar mass}

=\frac{5.00}{182.94} \\\\=0.02733mol

Mole of Co(NO3)2 in final solution

=\frac{4.00}{100}\times 0.02733\\\\=0.04\times 0.02733\\\\= 0.001093mol

Mole of  NO3- in final solution = 2 x Mole of Co(NO3)2

=2\times 0.001093\\\\=0.002186mol

Mass of  NO3- in final solution is mole x Molar mass of NO3

=0.002186\times62.01\\\\=0.136g

Methanogenic bacteria convert acidic acid (CH3COOH) to CO2(g) and CH4(g)
Y_Kistochka [10]

The enthalpy of the reaction can be obtained from the enthalpies of formation as  -16.2 kJ/mol.

<h3>What is the enthalpy of reaction?</h3>

We know that any time that there is a chemical  reaction, there is an interaction that place between the reactants and the products and as such we are going to get new substances and these are the substances that I have referred to here as the products of the reaction.

In this case, we are asked to obtain the enthalpy change of the reaction. This tells us the heat that could have been absorbed or evolved in the reaction. We have to at this point know that the enthalpy change of the reaction gotten from;

Sum of enthalpy of the products - Sum of enthalpy of the reactants

ΔH = [(-484.5)] - [(-393.5) + (-74.8)]

ΔH = (-484.5) + 468.3

ΔH = -16.2 kJ/mol
