13. The quality of petrol as an engine

Chemistry
1 answer:
quester [9]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. Branched chain alkanes

Explanation:

By the process of cracking of petroleum, higher quality petrol are formed by converting straight chain petrol to branched petrol, which are the grade of petrol that burns more smoothly and therefore efficiently within internal combustion engines

The cracking process includes;

a) The conversion of alkanes which are large molecules into branched octanes

b) The conversion of alkanes with straight chain into branched chain alkanes

c) The formation of a branched chain alkane and an alkene from straight chain alkanes

d) The formation of branched chain alkane and hydrogen gas from a straight chain alkane.

14. Which group of diamagnetic transition metals exhibits trends in density and melting points that don't match the same trends
inn [45]

Answer:

Group 12

Explanation:

Group 12 transition metals are diamagnetic. They behave properties that distinguish them. They naturally have twelve electrons hence their outermost shell is fully filled.

Transition metals have high densities which increases down the group. However, the increase in density of transition elements of group 12 varies with temperature at a rate that is quite different from other transition elements. Hence the differences in the value of melting points and density changes by only a very small amount as you come down group 12 compared to other groups of transition elements.

A galvanic (voltaic) cell consists of an electrode composed of chromium in a 1.0 M chromium(III) ion solution and another electr
svetlana [45]

Answer: The potential of the following electrochemical cell is 1.08 V.

Explanation:

E^0_(Cr^{3+}/Cr)=-0.74V[/tex]

E^0_(Cu^{2+}/Cu)=0.34V[/tex]

The element  with negative reduction potential will lose electrons undergo oxidation and thus act as anode.The element with positive reduction potential will gain electrons undergo reduction and thus acts as cathode.

Here Cr undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. copper undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

2Cr+3Cu^{2+}\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}+3Cu

E^0=E^0_{cathode}- E^0_{anode}

Where both E^0 are standard reduction potentials, when concentration is 1M.

E^0=E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Ni]}- E^0_{[Cr^{3+}/Cr]}

E^0=0.34-(-0.74)=1.08V

Thus the potential of the following electrochemical cell is 1.08 V.

A piece of unknown metal with mass 68.6 g is heated to an initial temperature of 100 °C and dropped into 42 g of water (with an
kogti [31]

The piece of unknown metal is in thermal equilibrium with water such that Q of metal is equal to Q of the water. We write this equality as follows:

-Qm = Qw

Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

where C is the specific heat capacities of the materials.

We calculate as follows:

-(Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT)) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

-68.6 (Cm)(52.1 - 100) = 42 (4.184) (52.1 - 20)

Cm = 1.717 -----> OPTION C

Advocard [28]
MAl₂(SO₄)₃·xH₂O:
(mAl×2) + (mS×3) + (mO×12) + (mH₂O×x)
(27×2)+(32×3)+(16×12)+(x×18) = 342 + 18x [g]
mAl₂: 27×2 = 54 [g]

54g ---------- 13,63%
342+18x ---- 100%
0,1363(342+18x) = 54
46,6146 + 2,4534x = 54
2,4534x = 7,3854
x ≈ 3
