Why is flameless heating used for heating a solution in hexane or diethyl ether during a recyrstallization?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kkurt [141]3 years ago
6 0

The technique which is used to purify the chemicals is said to be recrystallization.

In this process, solute is dissolved in a particular solvent and according to its principle, the quantity of solute which is dissolved by solvent increases with increase in temperature. The solutes are more soluble at high temperatures in comparison to room temperature (insoluble) or low temperature. Therefore, heating is needed to dissolve the solute in the solvent.

Now, in the case of hexane or diethyl ether, flameless heating is required because of their low boiling points implies if they heat directly on fire, then they have tendency to catch fire. Thus, hexane and diethyl ether are highly flammable.

Azithromycin suspension dosing is 10 mg/kg/d and is available in 200mg/5ml doses. how many ml would a 25kg child receive daily?
bekas [8.4K]
The answer to this question is 6.25ml

To answer this question, you need to calculate the azithromycin drug doses for this patient. The calculation would be: 25kg * 10mg/kg/d= 250mg/d

Then multiply the doses with the available drug. It would be:
250 mg/d / (200mg/5ml)= 6.25ml/d

A student added 5 grams of calcium chloride, a white solid substance, to 15 grams of water at 220 C. Several observations were m
umka21 [38]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A The calcium chloride dissolves in solution

B The mass of the solution totals 20 g

C The temperature of the solution is 35 degrees

D The solution became lighter in color

The correct answer would be that <u>the solution became lighter in color.</u>

An increase in temperature can also be considered a sign of a chemical reaction but in this case, the dissolution of calcium chloride in water is in itself exothermic.

A change in the mass of the final solution could also be considered a sign of a chemical reaction but in this case, the total mass equals the addition of the individual masses of the reactant.

The dissolution of calcium chloride in water is not enough as evidence of a chemical reaction. Dissolution can be a physical change of which, the evaporation of the water would retrieve the solute.

<em>A change in color, however, is one of the evidence to establish that a chemical reaction has occurred.</em>

The correct option is D.

sdas [7]

Answer:

Dependent on the element that reacted with carbon

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the combination of small atomic nuclei into larger ones usually accompanied with the release of a large amount of energy.

From the problem stated, carbon fuses with another atom. The combined atom would have more nuclear particles in terms of protons and neutrons than the combining atoms. This will eventually make it weigh more than carbon and the atom it combines with. The resulting weight will depend on the combining atoms eventually.
