How are lead and plastic foam different?

Chemistry
2 answers:
ser-zykov [4K]3 years ago

Lead refers to a chemical element with atomic number 82. It is a heavy metal, which is denser in comparison to the majority of the common substances. It is malleable and soft and also exhibits a comparatively low melting point. On the other hand, a plastic foam refers to a lightweight cellular form, used mainly as packing material or for insulation.  

Lead is more resistant and heavier, while plastic foam is light and can easily be shattered. They both are completely distinct components with each possessing specific characteristics, and they both exhibit distinct textures. The main reason for their distinct characteristics is the difference in the atoms taking part in their compositions.

First and foremost, they are completely different substances with each exhibiting unique properties. Both have different atoms involved on their structures which is the cause of the differing properties.

An acetylide anion is more stable than either a vinylic or alkyl anion due to Group of answer choices the greater stability of a
sashaice [31]

Answer:

the stabilization of the negative charge in orbitals with higher s character

Explanation:

Acetylide anion is a carbon anion compound or popularly called carbanion. Now Acetylide anion is sp hybridized. However acetylide anion tends to be more acidic as we move from sp³ to sp, hence acidicity increases, which makes sp to have the highest acidity and become the most  stable.

So, we can conclude that the acetylide anion is more acidic due to the stabilization of the negative charge in orbitals with higher s character and  as the s character increases, acidic nature of acetylide anion also increases.

What is the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of koh and zncl2 are mixed?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Net ionic equation:

Zn²⁺(aq)  +   2OH⁻(aq)     →    Zn(OH)₂(s)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

ZnCl₂ + KOH    →   KCl  + Zn(OH)₂

Balanced chemical equation:

ZnCl₂ + 2KOH    →   2KCl  +Zn(OH)₂

Ionic equation;

Zn²⁺(aq)  + 2Cl⁻(aq)  + 2K⁺(aq)  +  2OH⁻(aq)     →   2K⁺(aq)  + 2Cl⁻(aq)   +Zn(OH)₂(s)

Net ionic equation:

Zn²⁺(aq)  +   2OH⁻(aq)     →    Zn(OH)₂(s)

The K⁺  and Cl⁻  are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The  Zn(OH)₂ can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

Taking advantage of their large differences in pKa values, describe how a mixture of phenol and benzoic acid in diethyl ether so
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

By adding bicarbonate.

Explanation:

The pka of the phenol (C₆H₅OH) is 10 and the pka of the benzoic acid (C₆H₅COOH) is 4, which means that the benzoic acid is a stronger acid than phenol, so if we want to separate phenol from benzoic acid in diethyl ether we need to first use a weak base that will react with benzoic acid and not with the phenol:  

C₆H₅-COOH + HCO₃⁻  ⇄  C₆H₅-COO⁻  +  H₂CO₃

C₆H₅-OH + HCO₃⁻  ⇄  no reaction

The reaction of the benzoic acid with bicarbonate will produce the benzoate ion that will be soluble in the aqueous layer, while the phenol will remain dissolved in the organic layer, so we can separate the two of them by the separation of the two immiscible layers.      

Having the two layers separated, the benzoic acid can be recovered from the aqueous layer by adding HCl:

C₆H₅-COO⁻ + HCl  ⇄  C₆H₅-COOH + Cl⁻

<u>This acid will precipitate from the aqueous solution, and the solid can be isolated by filtration</u>.  

The phenol in the organic layer can be dissolved into an aqueous layer by the adding of a strong base like NaOH:

C₆H₅-OH + OH⁻  ⇄  C₆H₅-O⁻ + H₂O

The phenoxide ion soluble in the aqueous layer can be recovered later by the adding of HCl, which will form the original phenol:

C₆H₅-O⁻ + HCl  ⇄  C₆H₅-OH + Cl⁻  

<u>The precipitated phenol can be isolated by filtration. </u>

This way we can separate a mixture of phenol and benzoic acid in diethyl ether solution.  

I hope it helps you!
