Why is some amount of cryolite added in the electrolysis of molten alumina​

Chemistry
1 answer:
vesna_86 [32]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A.It lowers the melting point of alumina. B.It increases the electrical conductivity. ... Hint: The solution of alumina and cryolite during the electrolysis gives the aluminium at cathode and oxygen at anode. The alumina is a poor conductor of electricity and the fusion temperature of alumina is about 2000∘C.

Consider the following equilibrium: H2CO3+H2O = H3O+HCO3^-1. What is the correct equilibrium expression?
mylen [45]

Equilibrium expression is Keq = \frac{[H3O+][HCO3^-]}{[H2CO3]}\\

<u>Explanation:</u>

Equilibrium expression is denoted by Keq.

Keq is  the equilibrium constant that is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power its stoichiometric coefficients.

Example -

aA + bB = cC + dD

So, Keq = conc of product/ conc of reactant

Keq = \frac{[C]^c [D]^d}{[A]^a [B]^b}

So from the equation, H₂CO₃+H₂O = H₃O+HCO₃⁻¹

Keq = \frac{[H3O^+]^1 [HCO3^-]^1}{[H2CO3]^1 [H2O]^1}

The concentration of pure solid and liquid is considered as 1. Therefore, concentration of H2O is 1.

Thus,

Keq = \frac{[H3O+][HCO3^-]}{[H2CO3]}\\

Therefore, Equilibrium expression is Keq = \frac{[H3O+][HCO3^-]}{[H2CO3]}\\

Carboplatin (C6H12N2O4Pt) is a platinum-containing compound that is used to treat certain forms of cancer. This compound contain
givi [52]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  $ 35.6

Explanation:

C₆H₁₂N₂O₄Pt

Platinum = 52.5 %

Price = $1047 / troy ounce

cost of platinum = ? of 2 g

1 troy ounce = 480 grains

1 grain = 64.8 mg

Process

Get 52.5 % of 2 g

                               2 g -----------------  100 %

                               x     -----------------  52.5%

                              x = (52.5 x 2) / 100

                              x = 1.05 g

                               1 g --------------------- 1000 mg

                               1.05 g ----------------   x

                               x = 1050 mg of Pt

                               1 grain ---------------- 64.8 mg

                              x            ---------------  1050 mg

                              x = 16.2 grains

                              480 grains ---------------- 1 troy ounce

                              16.2 grains ----------------   x

                               x = (16.2 x 1) / 480

                                x = 0.034 troy ounce

                              $ 1047 ------------------  1 troy ounce

                                x        -------------------  0.034

                                x = (0,034 x 1047) / 1

                                x = $ 35.6

Name: _________________ Temperature o fwater_25_degreecent.YOU MUST SHOW ALL CALCULATIONS TO RECEIVE CREDIT FOR THEM! DATA ANALY
Anton [14]

Answer:

1. 0.02 M

2. 0.01 M

3. 4×10⁻⁶

Explanation:

We know that V₁S₁ = V₂S₂

1.

Concentration of HCl = 0.05 M

end point comes at = 10 ml

So, concentration of OH⁻(aq) = [OH⁻(aq)] ⇒ (0.05 × 10) ÷ 25 ⇒ 0.02 M

2.

2mol of OH⁻(aq) ≡ 1 mole of Ca²⁺(aq)

[Ca²⁺] = 0.02 ÷ 2 = 0.01 M

3.

K_{sp} = [Ca²⁺(aq)] [OH⁻(aq)]²

Ca(OH)₂ (aq) ⇄ Ca²⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

K_{sp} = [0.01 × (0.02)²] = 4×10⁻⁶

4.

If reaction is exothermic which means heat energy will get evolved as a result temperature of the reaction media will get increased during the course of the reaction. If temperature is externally increased, the reaction will go backward to accumulate extra heat energy.

5.

K_{sp} value describes the solubility of a particular ionic compound. The higher the K_{sp} value, the higher the Solubility will be.

6.

This may be due to uncommon ion effect. The process of other ions (K⁺ or Na⁺) may increase the solubility

How many moles are present in 54.8 mL of mercury if the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL?​
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

3.72 mol Hg

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Density = Mass over Volume

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

D = 13.6 g/mL

54.8 mL Hg

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of Hg - 200.59 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Find</u>

13.6 g/mL = x g / 54.8 mL

x = 745.28 g Hg

<u>Step 4: Convert</u>

<u />745.28 \ g \ Hg(\frac{1 \ mol \ Hg}{200.59 \ g \ Hg} ) = 3.71544 mol Hg

<u>Step 5: Check</u>

<em>We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

3.71544 mol Hg ≈ 3.72 mol Hg
