Answer:

hydrogenation

Explanation:

Liquid vegetable oils are converted to solid fats such as margarine by a process known as hydrogenation.

Commercial production of margarine requires the hydrogenation of liquid oil at a relatively high temperature and pressure and in the presence of a catalyst. During the process, a solid catalyst (usually, nickel) is added to a preheated liquid vegetable oil before the dispersion of the hydrogen gas. The polyunsaturated vegetable oil, thus, becomes saturated or partially saturated in the process. The quality of the final product depends on the degree of hydrogenation or saturation.

How many days does it take 16.Og of Gold-198 to decay to 1.0g? (each half-

forsale [732]

Answer:

10.8 days (3 sig.figs.)

Explanation:

All radioactive decay is 1st order decay defined by the expression A = A₀e^-kt

which is solved for time of decay (t) => t = ln(A/A₀) / -k

A = final weight = 1.0 gram

A₀ = initial weight = 16.0 grams

k = rate constant = 0.693/t(1/2) = 0.693/2.69 days = 0.258 days⁻¹

t = ln(1/16) / -0.258da⁻¹ = (-2.77/-0.258) days = 10.74646792 days (calculator)

≅ 10 days (1 sig. fig. based on given 1 gram mass)

How many molecules are in 3.6 grams of NaCl?

raketka [301]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{None}}$

Explanation:

There are no molecules in NaCl, because it consists only of ions.

However, we can calculate the number of formula units (FU) of NaCl.

Step 1. Calculate the moles of NaCl

$\text{No. of moles}=\text{3.6 g NaCl}\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol NaCl}}{\text{63.54 g NaCl}} = \text{0.0567 mol NaCl}$

Step 2. Convert moles to formula units

$\text{FU} = \text{0.0567 mol NaCl} \times \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ FU NaCl}}{\text{1 mol NaCl}}\\\\= 3.4 \times 10^{22} \text{ FU NaCl}$

There are $\boxed{3.4 \times 10^{22} \text{ FU NaCl}}$ in 3.6 g of NaCl.
