Calculate the theoretical carbonaceous and nitrogenous oxygen demand for:

Chemistry
1 answer:
serg [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is 129 mg and 232 mg.

Explanation:

Theoretical carbonaceous oxygen demand:

The reaction will be,  

C₂H₆O₂ + 5/2 O₂ ⇒ 2CO₂ + 3H₂O

Thus, for one mole of C₂H₆O₂ (ethylene glycol), 2.5 moles of O₂ is needed.  

The molecular mass of ethylene glycol is 62 grams per mole.  

The given mass of ethylene glycol is 100 mg or 0.1 grams

The moles of ethylene glycol will be,  

Moles = Weight/Molecular mass

= 0.1/62 = 1.613 × 10⁻³ mol

For 1.613 × 10⁻³ mol, the moles of O₂ will be,  

= 2.5×1.613×10⁻³

= 4.0.×10⁻³ × 32mol

= 0.129 grams or 129 mg.  

The theoretical nitrogenous oxygen demand is:  

The reaction will be,  

2NH₃-N + 9/2O₂ ⇒  4HNO2 + H₂O

Thus, for 2 moles of NH₃-N, 4.5 moles of O₂ is needed,  

Therefore, for 1 mol of NH₃-N, the oxygen required will be,  

= 4.5/2 = 2.25 mol

The given mass of NH₃-N is 100 mg, the moles of NH₃-N will be,  

Moles = 100×10⁻³/31 = 3.225 × 10⁻³ mol (The molecular mass of NH₃-N is 31 gram per mole)

The moles of O₂ is 2.25 × 3.225 × 10⁻³ = 7.258 × 10⁻³ mol.  

Now the mass of O2 will be,  

= 7.258 × 10⁻³ × 32

= 0.232 grams

= 232 mg

What characteristics do the elements in a group share? In a period, share?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The elements in same period have same principle quantum number or energy shell.

The elements in same group shows similar chemical and properties.

Explanation:

Inn group:

The elements in same group i.e present in vertical column shows similar chemical properties.

The elements in same group having same number of valance electrons. while in chemical reaction bonds are break and formed and valance electrons are involved. That's why elements in same group having same number of valance electrons and shows similar chemical properties.

In period:

While as we move from left to right the number of valance electron increase by one in every element. But the electron is added in same shell which means that their physical and chemical properties are different but principal quantum number is same.

If uranium-235 is bombarded with a neutron, it will temporarily become
stealth61 [152]
All atoms consist of a nucleus with protons and neutrons that is surrounded by a sea of electrons. If Uranium-235 is bombarded with a neutron then the atom's atomic number will remain the same but its mass will increase by 1 unit. Thus, it will temporarily become Uranium-236.

When water reaches the metastable state, the phase of water will be?​
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

water, when the metastable state is reached, is cooled below the zero temperature. It freezes abruptly. this is called metastable. They are not at equilibrium per se; as at negative temperatures the only equilibrium state of water is ice.
