Purpose of tanning in the leather industry is to

Chemistry
1 answer:
larisa [96]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

d) Make it flexible  

Step-by-step explanation:

Raw hides dry out to form a hard material that can decay with an offensive smell when they become wet.

Tanning converts the protein of the raw hide into a stable material that will stay flexible and not decompose when it gets wet.

a) is <em>wrong</em>. The purpose of tanning is to soften the leather.

b) is <em>wrong</em>. You smooth the leather manually with fine sandpaper.

c) is <em>wrong</em>. Tanning does not impart water resistance. It prevents the leather from putrefying when it does get wet.

Draw the major organic product in the reaction scheme below. Be sure to clearly show stereochemistry (if applicable).
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

You are missing the reaction scheme, but in picture 1, I found a question very similar to this, and after look into some other pages, I found the same scheme reaction, so I'm gonna work on this one, to show you how to solve it. Hopefully it will be the one you are asking.

According to the reaction scheme, in the first step we have NaNH2/NH3(l). This reactant is used to substract the most acidic hydrogen in the alkine there. In this case, it will substract the hydrogen from the carbon in the triple bond leaving something like this:

R: cyclopentane

R - C ≡ C (-)

Now, in the second step, this new product will experiment a SN2 reaction, and will attack to the CH3 - I forming another alkine as follow:

R - C ≡ C - CH3

Finally in the last step, Na in NH3 are reactants to promvove the hydrogenation of alkines. In this case, it will undergo hydrogenation in the triple bond and will form an alkene:

R - CH = CH - CH3

In picture 2, you have the reaction and mechanism.

How many moles of carbon dioxide gas should be produced when 10.0 g of C2H6 are combusted at STP?
Finger [1]

Answer:

                    0.665 moles of CO₂

Explanation:

                     The balance chemical equation for the combustion of Ethane is as follow:

                            2 C₂H₆ + 7 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Step 1: <u>Calculate moles of C₂H₆ as;</u>

                              Moles  =  Mass  /  M.Mass

Putting values,

                              Moles  =  10.0 g / 30.07 g/mol

                              Moles  =  0.3325 moles

Step 2: <u>Calculate Moles of CO₂ as;</u>

According to balance chemical equation,

                    2 moles of C₂H₆ produced  =  4 moles of CO₂

So,

             0.3325 moles of C₂H₆ will produce  =  X moles of CO₂

Solving for X,

                      X  =  0.3325 mol × 4 mol ÷ 2 mol

                      X = 0.665 moles of CO₂

What is ksp for agi, if its molar solubility is 9.1 × 10−9 mol/l?
LekaFEV [45]
When the salt AgI dissolves, it dissociates as follows;
AgI --> Ag⁺ + I⁻
molar solubility of salt is the amount of salt that can be dissolved in 1 L of solution
since the ions dissociated are in 1:1 molar ratio, the molar solubility of the ions are equivalent to the molar solubility of the salt.
ksp is the solubility product constant of the salt
ksp = [Ag⁺][I⁻]
ksp = (9.1 x 10⁻⁹ mol/L)²
ksp = 8.28 x 10⁻¹⁷
