Why is fractional distillation not used to produce drinking water from sea water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natasha_Volkova [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Please mark me brainliest. the answer is

Explanation:

The problem is that the desalination of water requires a lot of energy. Salt dissolves very easily in water, forming strong chemical bonds, and those bonds are difficult to break. Energy and the technology to desalinate water are both expensive, and this means that desalinating water can be pretty costly.

Is. Fe(s) ---------------&gt; Fe2+(aq) + 2e−<br>oxidation or reduction?​
frez [133]

Answer:

Oxidation occurs at the anode: Fe(s) | Fe2+(aq) half cell. (ii) Reduction occurs at the cathode: Ag(s) | Ag+(aq) half cell. Oxidation occurs at the anode: Pt | Sn2+(aq), Sn4+(aq) half cell. (iii) Electrons flow from the anode to the cathode: from the Pt(s) → Ag(s) electrode.

Lead has an atomic number of 82. Which statement describes all neutral atoms and ions of lead?
IRINA_888 [86]

The neutral atom of lead must have 82 protons while ions can have b or less than 82.

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of the element.

Also, for neutral atoms, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.

In ionic form, the number of protons/electrons of an atom may vary and be different from that of the neutral form.

Positive charges mean that the ion has less proton than its neutral version while negative charges mean that it has more electrons than its neutral version.

Thus, the neutral atom of lead will contain an equal number of protons as the electrons while its ionic form can have more or less than 82 protons.

Select the compounds from the list below which are insoluble in water
natulia [17]

Answer:

Insoluble in water:

  • BaSO4
  • PbCl2
  • Cu2O
  • AgBr

Explanation:

Water turns out to be a good solvent for ionic substances, or in general, polarized covalent substances. On the other hand, it is not a good solvent for non-polar substances, these being the vast majority of covalent substances.

Determine the equilibrium constant, Kp, for the following reaction, by using the two reference equations below: 2 NO(g) + O2(g)
klio [65]

Answer:

Kp=3.07x10^6

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing the given reference reactions, one could rearrange them as follows:

2 NO(g) \leftrightarrow N_2(g) + O_2(g); Kp_2 = \frac{1}{2.3 x 10^{-19}}=4.35x10^{18}

N_2(g) + 2O_2(g) \leftrightarrow 2NO_2(g);Kp_3=(8.4x10^{-7})^2=7.056x10^{-13}

Subsequently, to obtain the main reaction, we add the aforementioned reference rearranged reactions as shown below (just as reference):

2NO(g)+N_2(g)+2O_2\leftrightarrow 2NO_2(g)+N_2+O_2

Consequently, the equilibrium constant is computed as:

Kp=\frac{[N_2][O_2]}{[NO]^2} * \frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2][O_2]^2} =Kp_2*Kp_3=4.35x10^{18}*7.056x10^{-13}=3.07x10^6

Best regards.
