Answer:

See detailed explanation.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given description, it turns out possible for us to infer that the second fractionating column on top of the first one will favor the light product, in this case hexane as it has the lowest boiling point and molar mass; in such a way, we can tell the following:

a) The separation between hexane and heptane will be increased as a purer hexane-rich product will be obtained on the top of the second column.

b) Will be increased as well, because the second column will remove more heptane.

c) Also, more pure heptane will be obtained on the bottom of the two columns, yet the most favored yield will be that of hexane.

All of the aforementioned is possible due to the fact that the second column will remove the amount of heptane that could not be removed on the top of the first column by taking the vapor-liquid equilibrium further from the first column's maximum separation, which is known as distillation sequences.

Regards!

How many oxygen is produced in Laboratory?​
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen is one of the most abundant elements on this planet. Our atmosphere is 21% free elemental oxygen. Oxygen is also extensively combined in compounds in the earths crust, such as water (89%) and in mineral oxides. Even the human body is 65% oxygen by mass.

Free elemental oxygen occurs naturally as a gas in the form of diatomic molecules,  O2  (g). Oxygen exhibits many unique physical and chemical properties. For example, oxygen is a colorless and odorless gas, with a density greater than that of air, and a very low solubility in water. In fact, the latter two properties greatly facilitate the collection of oxygen in this lab. Among the unique chemical properties of oxygen are its ability to support respiration in plants and animals, and its ability to support combustion.

In this lab, oxygen will be generated as a product of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. A catalyst is used to speed up the rate of the decomposition reaction, which would otherwise be too slow to use as a source of oxygen. The catalyst does not get consumed by the reaction, and can be collected for re-use once the reaction is complete. The particular catalyst used in this lab is manganese(IV) oxide.

What is the molarity of solution that is 5.50 percentage by mass oxalic acid and has a density of 1.024 g/ml
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

0.6257 M is the molarity of solution that is 5.50 percentage by mass oxalic acid.

Explanation:

Mass percentage of oxalic acid = 5.50%

This means that in 100 grams of solution there are 5.50 grams of oxalic acid.

Mass of solution , m = 100

Volume of the solution = V

Density of the solution = d = 1.024 g/mL

V=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{100 g}{1.024 g/mL}=97.66mL

V = 97.66 mL = 0.09766 L

(1 mL = 0.001 L)

Moles of oxalic acid = \frac{5.50 g}{90 g/mol}=0.06111 mol

Molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in L}}

The molarity of the solution :

=\frac{0.06111 mol}{0.09766  L}=0.6257M

0.6257 M is the molarity of solution that is 5.50 percentage by mass oxalic acid.

Refraction occurs when the speed of light changes as it travels between mediums.<br><br><br> T<br> F
Mariana [72]

The answer is true

Refraction is an effect that occurs when a light wave, incident at an angle away from the normal, passes a boundary from one medium into another in which there is a change in velocity of the light.The wavelength decreases as the light enters the medium and the light wave changes direction.
