<h2>CH_3CH_2OH  →  CH_3CHO </h2>

Explanation:

Ethanol can be oxidized to ethanal or acetaldehyde which is further oxidized to acid that is acetic acid.

CH_3CH_2OH→  CH_3CHO [oxidation by loss of hydrogen]

  • An oxidizing agent potassium dichromate(VI) solution is used to remove the hydrogen from the ethanol.  
  • An oxidizing agent used along with dilute sulphuric acid for acidification.

Acetaldehyde can also be reduced back to ethanol again by adding hydrogen to it by using a reducing agent that is sodium tetrahydro borate, NaBH4.

  • The oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids can be done by the two-step process.  
  • In the first step, one molecule of water is added in the presence of a catalyst that is acidic.
  • There is a generation of a hydrate. (geminal 1,1-diol).

     CH_3CHO  →  CH_3CH_2COOH [reduction by the gain of electrons]

Here, the oxidizing agent used isCr_3O in the presence of acetone.

How many liters of oxygen gas (O2) are needed to produce 100 kJ of energy at STP? 2C6H6(I) + 1502(g) —&gt; 12CO2(g)+6H2O(g)+3909
makkiz [27]

Answer: 8.59 L of oxygen gas are needed to produce 100 kJ of energy at STP

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

Standard condition of temperature (STP)  is 273 K and atmospheric pressure is 1 atmosphere respectively.  

1 mole of every gas occupy volume at STP = 22.4 L

The balanced chemical reaction is:

2C_6H_6(I)+15O_2(g)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)

3909.9 kJ of of energy is produced by  = 15\times 22.4=336L

100 kJ of oxygen gas are needed to produce = \frac{336}{3909.9}\times 100=8.59L

Determine the number of atoms that are in 1.15 mol of Cl 2.
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation: I think its 4.91 x 10^25. Im not very sure, i just multipled 1.15 mol by the molar mass of Cl 2, which was 70.9 g. Then I multiplied that by avogadro's number. sorry if im wrong

If the energy of photon emitted from the hydrogen atom is 4.09 x 10-19 J, what is
Aliun [14]

Answer:

486 nm

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Energy (E) = 4.09×10¯¹⁹ J

Wavelength (λ) =?

Next, we shall determine the frequency of the photon. This can be obtained as follow:

Energy (E) = 4.09×10¯¹⁹ J

Planck's constant (h) = 6.63×10¯³⁴ Js

Frequency (f) =?

E = hf

4.09×10¯¹⁹ = 6.63×10¯³⁴ × f

Divide both side by 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 4.09×10¯¹⁹ / 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 6.17×10¹⁴ Hz

Next, we shall determine the wavelength of the photon. This can be obtained as follow:

Frequency (f) = 6.17×10¹⁴ Hz

Velocity of photon (v) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Wavelength (λ) =?

v = λf

3×10⁸ = λ × 6.17×10¹⁴

Divide both side by 6.17×10¹⁴

λ = 3×10⁸ / 6.17×10¹⁴

λ = 4.86×10¯⁷ m

Finally, we shall convert 4.86×10¯⁷ m to nm. This can be obtained as follow:

1 m = 1×10⁹ nm

Therefore,

4.86×10¯⁷ m = 4.86×10¯⁷ m × 1×10⁹ nm / 1 m

4.86×10¯⁷ m = 486 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the photon is 486 nm
