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!

Why dilute H2SO4 is added to oxali acid solution in redox reaction​
Sphinxa [80]

To prevent the hydrolysis and to catalyse the reaction.

Explanation:

  • Sulphuric acid is the catalyst and also a dehydrating agent in this reaction.
  • Sulphuric acid is using in redox reaction because sulphuric acid is providing H+ ions which is necessary for this reaction to occur more quickly, but the sulphate ions from the sulphuric acid barely react during this process. So H2SO4 is adding in this reaction to make it more acidic.
  • H2SO4 is preventing hydrolysis by providing excess H+ ions into the reaction. H2SO4 is stable towards the direction of oxidation.

A student is preparing to perform a series of calorimetry experiments. She first wishes to determine the calorimeter constant (C
laila [671]

Answer:

  • First choice: 99 J/K

Explanation:

<u>1) First law of thermodynamic (energy balance)</u>

  • Heat released by the the hot water (345K ) = Heat absorbedby the cold water (298 K) + Heat absorbed by the calorimeter

<u>2) Energy change of each substance:</u>

  • General formula:

     

Heat released or absorbed = mass × Specific heat × change in temperature

  • density of water: you may take 0.997 g/ ml as an average density for the water.

  • mass of water: mass = density × volume = 50.0 ml × 0.997 g/ml = 49.9 g

  • Specif heat of water: 1 cal / g°C

  • Heat released by the hot water:

       Heat₁ = 49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (345 K - 317 K) = 49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (28K)

  • Heat absorbed by the cold water:

       Heat₂ = 49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (317 K - 298 K) = 49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (19K)

  • Heat absorbed by the calorimeter

       Heat₃ = Ccal × (317 K - 298 K) = Ccal × (19K)

<u>4) Balance</u>

  • Heat₁ = Heat₂ + Heat₃

49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (28 K) = 49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (19 K) + Ccal × (19 K)

  • Solve for Ccal

Ccal = [49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (28 K) - 49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (19 K) ] / 19K

Ccal = 23.6 cal/ K

  • Convert to cal / K to Joule / K

  • 1 cal = 4.18 Joule

       23.6 cal / K × 4.18 J / cal = 98.6 J/K

Which rounded to 2 signficant figures leads to 99 J/k, which is the first choice.

Identify the following reaction as oxidation and reduction F2(g)+2e-/2F-(aq)​
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Reduction

Explanation:

The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

In given reaction fluorine gas gain two electron and form fluoride ions.

F₂(g) + 2e⁻    →   2F⁻(aq)

The given reaction is reduction because oxidation state is decreased from zero to -1.

The fuel used in many disposable lighters is liquid butane, C4H10. Butane has a molecular weight of 58.1 grams in one mole. How
forsale [732]
Doesnt the number of carbon atoms stay the same.
Though the weight of carbon in 1.5g is 1.24g.

This is because the RAM of C4 is 48.

The RFM of C4H10 is 58. Therefore, 48/58 is carbon in butane.

48/58 x 1.5 = 1.24g
