Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The way by which a metal is obtained from its ore is determined by the chemical reactivity of the metal.

Metals that are highly reactive are chiefly obtained by electrolysis of the metal salt. These metals are found high up in the metal activity series.

Metals that are at the middle of the series are moderately reactive and are obtained by electrolysis or by reduction since they still form ionic salts.

Metals that are far lower in the series can only be obtained by heating them in air because they are mostly unreactive.

Hence, moderately reactive metals at the middle of the series are not obtained by roasting in air.

To prevent tank rupture during deep-space travel, an engineering team is studying the effect of temperature on gases confined to

uranmaximum [27]

Answer: 63.88 atm

Explanation:

To answer this, we use the formula PV = nRT since the asumption is that the gas has an ideal behavior

where number of mole = 2.60 mol, R(gas constant) = 0.08205746 L atm/K mol,

T = 251 ∘C = (251 + 273) K = 524 K, Volume = 1.75 L

Making Pressure the subject of the formula, we have

P = nRT/V = 2.6 * 0.08205746 * 524/2.75 = 63.88 atm

Would you expect the carbonyl carbon of benzaldehyde to be more or less electrophilic than that of acetaldehyde? Explain using r

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Benzaldehyde is less electrophilic than acetaldehyde

Explanation:

Electrophilicity of carbonyl carbon depends on it's positive charge density.

In benzaldehyde, phenyl group can act as an electron donating group towards carbonyl group due to it's electron donating resonating effect.

In acetaldehyde, methyl group can act as an electron donating group towards carbonyl group due to it's electron donating inductive effect.

We know that resonating effect are more stronger than inductive effect.

Henece, it is expected that positive charge density on carbonyl carbon is much lower in benzaldehyde than acetaldehyde.

So, benzaldehyde is less electrophilic than acetaldehyde.

Resonating effect of phenyl group has been shown below.

Is a home microwave suitable for organic synthesis ?

o-na [289]

Explanation:

The specially designed microwave units , for the synthesis , are often very expensive and at times get heated up .

The home microwave is suitable only in some case .

And , new modification done on the home microwave , increases the safety factor .

The chemical reactions which need to be done at very high pressure , are preferred to be carried in specially designed oven .

Hence ,

the home microwave is suitable only for some selected and specific reactions .
