Why is graphite used as a lubricant

2 answers:

6 0

There are weaker covalent bonds between these layers, hence they can easily slide over each other. Due to this, it is a lubricant, since the layers slide over each other so easily. ... Graphite is a mineral made of loosely bonded sheets of carbon atoms, giving it a slippery texture that makes it a very effective lubricant.

Alkynes are reduced to trans alkenes by a process called dissolving metal reduction. The reaction uses sodium or lithium metal a

NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The movement of the electrons is illustrated in the picture attached to this answer. It is a four-step reaction mechanism.

First STEP: The first step involves the transfer of an electron from sodium to form a radical anion.

Second STEP: This radical anion then removes a proton/hydrogen from ammonia in a bid to neutralize itself (hence the hydrogen becomes bonded to the anion).

Third STEP: The sodium (from NaNH₂ formed) transfers an electron again to produce a vinyl carbanion.

Fourth STEP: The carbanion then removes a proton/hydrogen from ammonia (like in the second step) to form a neutral trans-alkene.

NOTE: The circled numbers denote each step while the mechanism on the left represents the use of any alkyl group (R and R') while the mechanism on the right assumes both alkyl groups are methyl. Hence, 2-butyne started the reaction and the final product was trans-2-butene.

1.42 mol sample of neon gas at a temperature of 13.0 °C is found to occupy a volume of 25.5 liters. The pressure of this gas sam

Dima020 [189]

Answer: 996 mmHg

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at NTP, weighs equal to the molecular mass and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

According to the ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

P = Pressure of the gas = ?

V= Volume of the gas = 25.5 L

T= Temperature of the gas = 13°C = (273+13) K = 286K

R= Gas constant = 0.0821 atmL/K mol

n= moles of gas= 1.42

$P=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{1.42\times 0.0821\times 286}{25.5}=1.31atm=996mmHg$ (760mmHg=1atm)

Thus pressure of this gas sample is 996 mm Hg.

A mixture of methanol and methyl acetate contains 15.0 wt% methanol.

Usimov [2.4K]

The mixture flow rate in lbm/h = 117.65 lbm/h

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

15.0 wt% methanol

The flow rate of the methyl acetate :100 lbm/h

Required

the mixture flow rate in lbm/h

Solution

mass of methanol(CH₃OH, Mw= 32 kg/kmol) in mixture :

$\tt 15\%\times 200~kg=30~kg\\\\mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}=\dfrac{30~kg}{32~kg/kmol}=0.9375~kmol$

mass of the methyl acetate(C₃H₆O₂,MW=74 kg/kmol,85% wt) in 200 kg :

$\tt 85\%\times 200=170~kg\\\\mol=\dfrac{170}{74}=2.297~kmol$

Flow rate of the methyl acetate in the mixture is to be 100 lbm/h.

1 kg mixture = 0.85 .methyl acetate

So flow rate for mixture :

$\tt \dfrac{1~kg~mixture}{0.85~methyl~acetat}\times 100~lbm/h=117.65~lbm/h$
