Saponification is the name of the chemical reaction that produces soap. In the process, animal or vegetable fat is converted into soap (a fatty acid) and alcohol

Answer: soaps are a sodium or potassium salts of long chain fatty acids.when triglycerides in fat/oil react with aqueous NaOH or KOH,they are converted into soap and glycerol.This is called alkaline hydrolysis of esters.Since this reaction leads to formation of soap, it is called the saponification process.

[15 Points, Stoichiometry and Gases]

KiRa [710]

The reaction is

CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O (l) -----> Ca(OH)₂ (s) + C₂H₂ (g)

As we have data of gas ethyne (or acetylene), C₂H₂

We can calculate the moles of acetylene and from this we can estimate the mass of calcium carbide taken

the moles of acetylene will be calculated using ideal gas equation

PV =nRT

R = gas constant = 0.0821 Latm/molK

T = 385 K

V = volume = 550 L

P = Pressure = 1.25 atm

n = moles = ?

n = PV /RT = 1.25 X 550 / 0.0821 X 385 = 21.75 mol

As per balanced equation these moles of acetylene will be obtained from same moles of calcium carbide

moles of calcium carbide = 21.75mol

molar mass of CaC₂ = 40 + 24 = 64

mass of CaC₂ = moles X molar mass = 21.75 X 64 = 1392g

How does atomic radius (size or atom diameter) affect bond distance (distance between atoms)?

yKpoI14uk [10]

When two atoms of the same element are covalently bonded, the radius of each atom will be half the distance between the two nuclei because they equally attract the electrons. The reason for this trend is that the bigger the radii, the further the distance between the two nuclei. Hope this helps:)

Be sure to answer all parts. Butane gas is compressed and used as a liquid fuel in disposable cigarette lighters and lightweight

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer will be "4.60 g".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Volume of Butane = 7.96 mL

Density = 0.579 g/mL

As we know,

⇒ $Mass \ of \ Butane = Density\times Volume$

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒ $=0.579\times 7.96$

⇒ $=4.60 \ g$

Bromine (63 g) and fluorine (60 g) are mixed to give bromine trifluoride. a) Write a balanced chemical reaction. b) What is the

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

a) Br2 + 3F2 → 2BrF3

b) Br2 is the limiting reactant.

c) There will be formed 86.3 grams of BrF3

d) There will remain 0.326 moles of F2 = 12.97 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

Br2 + 3F2 → 2BrF3

Step 2: Given data

Mass of Bromine = 63grams

Mass of fluorine = 60 grams

percent yield = 80%

Molar mass of bromine = 79.9 g/mol =

Molar mass of fluorine = 19 g/mol

Molar mass of bromine trifluoride = 136.9 g/mol

Step 3: Calculating moles

Moles Br2 = 63 grams / (2*79.9)

Moles Br2 = 0.394 moles

Moles F2 = 60 grams / (2*19.9)

Moles F2 = 1.508

For 1 mole Br2 consumed, we need 3 moles of F2 to produce 2 moles of BrF3

Br2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0394 moles).

There will react 3*0.394 = 1.182 moles of F2

There will remain 1.508 - 1.182 = 0.326 moles of F2 = 12.97 grams

Step 5: Calculate moles of BrF3

For 1 mole Br2 consumed, we need 3 moles of F2 to produce 2 moles of BrF3

So there is 2*0.394 moles = 0.788 moles of BrF3 moles produced

Step 6: Calculate mass of BrF3

mass = Moles * Molar mass

mass of BrF3 = 0.788 moles * 136.9 g/mol = 107.88 grams = Theoretical yield

Step 7: Calculate actual yield

% yield = 0.80 = actual yield / theoretical yield

actual yield = 0.80 * 107.88 grams = 86.3 grams

actual yield = 86.3 grams
