Explain why the catalyst is used as a very fine powder and larger pieces of iron are not used.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Allushta [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<h2><u>Reason:</u></h2>

Catalyst is used as a very fine powder and larger pieces of iron are not used. This is because the surface area of catalyst needs to be large so that more of the surface is exposed to the substrate and more of the substrate is catalyzed.

<h2><u>Important Info:</u></h2>

=> Larger Pieces of Iron has a smaller surface area than the fine particles.

=> Larger the surface area of catalysts/enzymes , more will be the reaction rate and vice versa.

Hope this helped!

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

22.4269 grams of sodium phosphate must be added to 1.4 L of this solution to completely eliminate the hard water ions

Explanation:

We will first write the balanced equation for this scenario

3 CaCl2 + 2 Na3PO4 ----> 6 NaCl + Ca3 (PO4)2

3 Mg(NO3)2 + 2 Na3PO4 -----> 6 NaNO3 + Mg3 (PO4)2

The ratio here for both calcium chloride and magnesium nitrate is 3:2

The number of moles of each compound is equal to

0.054 * 1.4 = 0.0756\\0.093* 1.4 = 0.1302

Using the mole ratio of 3:2, convert each to moles of sodium phosphate.

0.0756 mole of CaCl2 is equal to 0.05\\ Na3PO4

0.1302 mole of CaCl2 is equal to 0.0868 Na3PO4

Converting moles of sodium phosphate to grams of sodium phosphate we get

(0.05 +0.0868) * 163.94 g/mol

22.4269 grams of sodium phosphate must be added to 1.4 L of this solution to completely eliminate the hard water ions

Which of the following describes the correct order for relative solubility of minerals in sedimentary rocks?
NARA [144]

Answer:

Evaporate minerals are more soluble than calcite and quartz.

Explanation:

Evaporate minerals are the water soluble minerals which at higher concentration precipitate out and crystallized forming rocks.

example of chemicals present are:

chlorides and sulphates.

Quartz is silica (very less soluble, or insoluble)

Calcite is calcium carbonate, again an insoluble salt.

Thus

Evaporate minerals are more soluble than calcite and quartz.
