Why is carbone reduction process not applied for the extraction of alkali

1 answer:

7 0

Carbon cannot reduce sodium because sodium is stronger than carbon. reactive metals like sodium and potassium and electrolysis has to be used.

BaLLatris [955]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Calculate the solubility of each of the following compounds in moles per liter. Ignore any acid-base properties.

CaCO₃, Ksp = 8.7 × 10⁻⁹

Answer : The solubility of CaCO₃ is, $9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

Explanation :

As we know that CaCO₃ dissociates to give $Ca^{2+}$ ion and $CO_3^{2-}$ ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

$CaCO_3\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+CO_3^{2-}$

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

$K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}]$

Let solubility of CaCO₃ be, 's'

$K_{sp}=(s)\times (s)$

$K_{sp}=s^2$

$8.7\times 10^{-9}=s^2$

$s=9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

Therefore, the solubility of CaCO₃ is, $9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

Propane, the gas used in barbeque grills, is made of carbon and hydrogen. Will the atoms that make up propane form covalent bond

Masteriza [31]

Hydrocarbons are molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen. Due to carbon's unique bonding patterns, hydrocarbons can have single, double, or triple bonds between the carbon atoms. The names of hydrocarbons with single bonds end in "-ane," those with double bonds end in "-ene," and those with triple bonds end in "-yne". The bonding of hydrocarbons allows them to form rings or chains.

Answer:

1) acetylide

2) enol

3) aldehydes

4) tautomers

5) alkynes

6) Hydroboration

7) Keto

8) methyl ketones

Explanation:

Acetylide anions (R-C≡C^-) is a strong nucleophile. Being a strong nucleophile, we can use it to open up an epoxide ring by SN2 mechanism. The attack of the acetylide ion occurs from the backside of the epoxide ring. It must attack at the less substituted side of the epoxide.

Oxomercuration of alkynes and hydroboration of alkynes are similar reactions in that they both yield carbonyl compounds that often exhibit keto-enol tautomerism.

The equilibrium position may lie towards the Keto form of the compound. Usually, if terminal alkynes are used, the product of the reaction is a methyl ketone.

1. Mg2+ and Ca2+ are in the same group on the periodic table. In terms of electronic

finlep [7]

Answer:

Se detailed explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since both magnesium and calcium ions are in group IIA, we can review the following similar properties:

- Since both calcium and magnesium are in group IIA they have two valence electrons, it means that the both of them have two electrons at their outer shells.

- They are highly soluble in water when forming ionic bonds with nonmetals such as those belonging to halogens and oxygen's family.

- Calcium has 18 electrons and magnesium 10 which are two less than the total protons (20 and 12 respectively) since the both of them have lost two electrons due their ionized form.

- Their electron configurations are:

$Ca^{20}=1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^3,3p^6,4s^2\\\\Mg^{12}=1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^2$

It means that the both of them are at the $s$ region since it is the last subshell at which their electrons are.

Best regards.
