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

The noble gases are inert due to the fact that A. their valence shell is empty B. their valence shell is full C. their electrons
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

B) Their valence shell is full

Explanation:

In order to be classified as a noble gas, an element must have a complete octet/ a full shell of valence electrons, as shown in answer B.

A and C are just incorrect. Since noble gasses are very unstable, D is a true statement, but is isn't the correct answer as this does not explain why they are inert.

An electron in a hydrogen atom relaxes to the n=4 level, emitting light of 74 THz.
Solnce55 [7]
Delta E = Ef - Ei
E = energy , h = plank constant  , v = frequency
h= 6.626 * 10 ^-34 j*s  ,  T = 10 ^ 12  , v = 74 * 10 ^12 Hz  ,  Hz = s^-1 

E = ( 6.626 * 10^ -34 j*s) ( 74 * 10 ^ 12 s^ -1 )  =   4.90 * 10 ^ -20 J
Delta E  = Ef  -  Ei
-4.90 * 10 ^ -20 J =  -2.18 * 10 ^ -18J ( 1/4 ^2 - 1/x ^2)
0.0225 = 0.0625 -  ( 1/x ^ 2)
0.225 - 0.0625 =  - 1/ x ^ 2 

- 0.0400 = - 1/x ^2    =   -1 / - 0.0400    =   x^2
25   =  x^2 
     x = 5

A compound is 75.46% Carbon, 4.43% hydrogen and 20.10% Oxygen by mass. it has a molecular weight of 318.31g/mol. what is the mol
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

No.of moles of C is , n = mass/molar mass = 75.46 g / 12 (g/mol) = 6.3 moles No.of moles of H is , n' = mass/molar mass = 4.43 g / 1.0(g/mol) = 4.43 moles No.of moles of O is , n'' = mass/molar mass = 20.10 g / 16(g/mol) =1.25 moles Ratio to the no.of moles of C,H& O is 6.3 : 4.43 : 1.25 In the simple integer ratio is ( 6.3/1.25) : ( 4.43/1.25) : (1.25/1.25) 5.04 :3.5 : 1

A. the wax is a both; 1. physical change-solid to liquid.
2. chemical change- burned to CO2 + H20 + heat + carbon as seen as black on the rod
b. the wick is neither; the wick does not change, just provides conduit for wax to flame
c. the glass rod is physical change; the carbon is only deported
