List 6 uses of acids

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: 1. Vinegar, used in the kitchen, is a liquid containing 3-6% acetic acid. It is used in pickles and in many food preparations.

2. Lemon and orange juice contains citric acid. Citric acid is used in the preparation of effervescent salts and as a food preservative.

3. Acids have been put to many uses in industry. Nitric acid and sulphuric acid are used in the manufacture of fertilizers, dyes, paints, drugs and explosives.

4. Sulphuric acid is used in batteries, which are used in cars, etc. Tannic acid is used in the manufacture of ink and leather.

5. Hydrochloric acid is used to make aqua regia, which is used to dissolve noble metals such as gold and platinum.

6. Sulphuric acid is used in manufacturing fertilizers such as super phosphate, ammonium sulpahte etc.

In separating mixtures is it an advantage or a disadvantage?

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Purpose: To become familiar with the techniques for separation of amixture of solids.

Explanation:

a mixture of pure substances. If you have a mixture of tennis ballsand marbles (not pure substances by the way), it would be easy toseparate the mixture. However, it is more difficult to separate asand (also not a pure substance) and salt mixture. Even with verygood tweezers and a magnifying glass, it would be extremelytedious. You could take advantage of the fact that salt dissolvesin water and sand does not. To separate iron powder from an ironand sand mixture you can take advantage of the magnetic propertiesof iron and separate the mixture.

To summarize a complete procedure for separating a mixture ofseveral substances, it is best to prepare a flow chart. A flowchartis a schematic representation of an algorithm or a stepwiseprocess, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and theirorder by connecting these with arrows. Flowcharts are used indesigning or documenting a process.

Suppose of nickel(II) chloride is dissolved in of a aqueous solution of potassium carbonate. Calculate the final molarity of chl

stich3 [128]

Answer: Molarity of chloride anion = 0.32 M

Note: the question is missing some values. The full question is given below;

Suppose 7.26 g of nickel(II) chloride is dissolved in 350 mL of a 0.50 M aqueous solution of potassium carbonate. Calculate the final molarity of chloride anion in the solution. You can assume the volume of the solution doesn't change when the nickel(II) chloride is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Explanation:

Molarity or molar concentration is the number of moles (mol) of component per volume (liters) concentration of solution in mol/L or M

The mass of nickel (II) chloride is 7.26 g.

The volume of potassium carbonate is 350 mL = 0.35 L

The molarity of potassium carbonate solution is 0.50 M

The reaction of nickel (II) chloride and potassium carbonate is given below.

NiCl₂(aq) + KCO₃(aq) --------> KCl(aq) +NiCO₃(s)

The dissociation of nickel (II) chloride is given below.

NiCl₂ -----> Ni²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

The molar mass of nickel (II) chloride is 129.6 g/mol

The moles of nickel (II) chloride can be calculated by the formula given below;

No of moles = mass(g) / molar mass (g/mol)

No of moles = 7.26 / 129.6 = 0.056 moles

Therefore, molarity of NiCl₂ = 0.056 moles/ 0.35 L = 0.16 M

The molarity of 1 mole nickel (ii) chloride is 0.16 m and according to dissociation of nickel (II) chloride, 1 mole of nickel (II) chloride gives 2 moles of chloride anion.

Therefore, the molarity of chloride anion = 0.16 * 2 = 0.32 M

What is △n for the following equation in relating Kc to Kp?

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

-1

Explanation:

The relation between Kp and Kc is given below:

$K_p= K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n}$

Where,

Kp is the pressure equilibrium constant

Kc is the molar equilibrium constant

R is gas constant , 0.082057 L atm.mol⁻¹K⁻¹

T is the temperature in Kelvins

Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants)

For the first equilibrium reaction:

$2Na_{(s)}+2H_2O_{(l)}\rightleftharpoons 2NaOH_{(aq)}+2H_2_{(g)}$

Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants) = (2+1)-(2+2) = -1
