Purification of chromium can be achieved by electrorefining chromium from an impure chromium anode onto a pure chromium cathode

in an electrolytic cell. How many hours will it take to plate 11.5 kg of chromium onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 38.0 A ? Assume the chromium in the electrolytic solution is present as Cr3+ .

Answer:

468 h

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of chromium (III) to chromium that occurs in the electrolytic purification.

Cr³⁺ + 3 e⁻ → Cr

We can establish the following relations.

  • 1 kg = 1,000 g
  • The molar mass of Cr is 52.00 g/mol
  • 1 mole of Cr is deposited when 3 moles of electrons circulate
  • The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96,468 c (Faraday's constant)
  • 1 A = 1 c/s
  • 1 h = 3,600 s

The hours that will take to plate 11.5 kg of chromium onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 38.0 A is:

11.5kgCr \times \frac{1,000gCr}{1kgCr} \times \frac{1molCr}{52.00gCr} \times \frac{3mole^{-} }{1molCr} \times \frac{96,468c}{1mole^{-}}  \times \frac{1s}{38.0c} \times \frac{1h}{3,600s} = 468 h

How many moles of water are produced from 15 moles of oxygen?
Grace [21]

Answer:

30 moles

Explanation:

Water is H2O, meaning there is 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom. Oxygen is O2, because it is a diatomic molecule. (Hydrogen is also a diatomic molecule, so H2)

The equation, balanced, would have to be: 2H2 + O2 -----> 2H2O

I multiply 15 moles O2 by the molar ratio of (hydrogen/oxygen)

15 mol. O2 *  (2 mol. H2/1 mol O2) = 30 moles of water

VLD [36.1K]

Fatty acids are composed of hydrocarbon chains and a carboxyl group.

<h3>What are Fatty acids ?</h3>

Fatty acids are the building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat.

During digestion, the body breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can then be absorbed into the blood.

Fatty acid molecules are usually joined together in groups of three, forming a molecule called a triglyceride.

Generally, a fatty acid consists of a straight chain of an even number of carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms along the length of the chain and at one end of the chain and a carboxyl group (―COOH) at the other end.

It is that carboxyl group that makes it an acid (carboxylic acid).
