The highest atom economy

2CO + O₂ ⇒ 2CO₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The reaction for the production of CO₂

Required

The highest atom economy

Solution

In reactions, there are sometimes unwanted products that can be said to be a by-product or a waste product. Meanwhile, the desired product can be said to be a useful product, which can be shown as the atom economy

of the reaction

the higher the atomic economy value of a reaction, the smaller the waste/ byproducts produced, so that less energy is wasted

The general formula:

Atom economy = (mass of useful product : mass of all reactants/products) x 100

<em>or </em>

Atom economy = (total formula masses of useful product : total formula masses of all reactants/products) x 100

So a reaction that only produces one product will have the highest atomic value, namely the reaction in option C

Write a balanced half-reaction for the oxidation of manganese ion (mn2 ) to solid manganese dioxide (mno2) in acidic aqueous sol
Helen [10]

Answer:

Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l)  ⇒ MnO2(s) + 4H+(aq) + 2e-

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The oxidation number of manganese ion (Mn2+ ) is +2

The oxidation number of manganese dioxide  is +(MnO2)4

This means the oxidation number from Mn will go from +2 to +4, since it's increased, this is an oxidation reaction

Mn2+(aq)  ⇒ MnO2(s)

We have to balance both sides. Mn is already the same. But on the right side we have O atoms. T obalance both sides we have to add O atoms to the left side. This by adding 2x H2O

Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l)  ⇒ MnO2(s)

Now the amount of O atoms is balanced, but we have H- atoms at the left side. To balance we have to add 4 H atoms to the right side

Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l)  ⇒ MnO2(s) + 4H+(aq)

Now the amount of atoms is balanced at both sides. We also have to check if the charge on both sides is the same.

Since the left side has a charge of +2, and right has a charge of +4, we have to add 2 electrons to balance this.

Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l)  ⇒ MnO2(s) + 4H+(aq) + 2e-

Why is acid base titration a useful technique in chemistry
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: Titration is particularly useful if we want to find out the amount or concentration of a known acid or base in a given sample.

Explanation: Suppose you have just been handed a beaker containing a fixed volume of HCL solution. If you simply just know the volume of the solution, you can titrate it against a reagent (base) to figure out the exact concentration of the solution (also known as molarity)

The solution is placed in a flask for titration and a minute amount of indicator is then added into the flask. The reagent (base) is placed in a burette and slowly added to the solution and indicator mixture. The amount of reagent used is recorded when the indicator causes a change in the color of the solution. Using Stoichiometry, we are then able to calculate the concentration and moles of the HCL solution used up in the reaction.

Which Of the following, the best explanation for the fact that most gases are easily compressed is that the molecules in a gas a
Otrada [13]

Answer: A. are relatively far apart

Explanation:

Compressbility is the ability of compound to reduce in size when pressure is applied.

Gaseous state is a state in which the particles are loosely arranged and have a lot of space between them. Thus molecules can be easily compressed.

They have highest kinetic energy. This state has indefinite volume as well as shape.  The molecules in the gaseous state move faster with an increase in temperature as the kinetic energy increases with increase in temperature.

Thus most gases are easily compressed is that the molecules in a gas are in constant motion are relatively far apart.

Which of the following can be measured in amps with an ammeter
alexdok [17]
I believe it is current. An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the current in a circuit. Electric currents are measured in amperes (A), hence the name. Instruments used to measure smaller currents, milliampere or microampere range, are designated as milliammeters or microammeters.

Imagine a 15kg block moving with a speed of 20m/s. Calculate the kinetic energy of this block.
SSSSS [86.1K]

The kinetic energy formula is;

  • KE=\frac{m.v^2}{2}

The variable m represents the mass. Its unit is kilogram. We are informed that the mass of the object is 15kg. The variable v represents the linear velocity. Its unit is meter per second. We are informed that the linear velocity of the object is 20m/s. Let's find the kinetic energy of the object by substituting these values in the formula.

  • KE=\frac{15kg.(20m/s)^2}{2}
  • 2.KE=15kg.400m^2/s^2
  • 2.KE=(6000)kgm^2/s^2
  • KE=(3000)kgm^2/s^2=3000J
