Answer:

froth flotation is a technique commonly used in the mining industry. In this technique, particles of interest are physically separated from a liquid phase as a result of differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to the surface of the particles, based upon their hydrophobicity.

Explanation:

Froth floatation method is commonly used to concentrate sulphide ore such as galena (PbS), zinc blende (ZnS) etc. (ii) In this method, the metaalic ore particles which are perferentially wetted by oil can be separated from gangue. (iii) In this method, the crushed ore is suspended in water and mixed with frothing agent such as pine oil, eucalyptus oil etc. (iv) A small quantity of sodium ethyl xanthate which act as a collector is also added. (v) A froth is generated by blowing air through this mixture. (vi) The collector molecules attach to the ore particles and make them water repellent. (vii) As a result, ore parrticles, wetted by the oil, rise to the surface along with the froth. (viii) The froth is skimmed off and dried to recover the concentration ore. (ix) The gangue particles that are preferentially wetted by water settle at the bottom.

In the hypothetical reaction below, substance A is consumed at a rate of 2.0 mol/L·s. If this reaction is at dynamic equilibrium

vazorg [7]

Dynamic equilibrium means that the proportion is equal. The fact that the equation is at equilibrium suggests that the equation is balanced and therefore the answer must be 2.0 mol because that allows the products and reactants to level out...

How many molecules are present in a drop of ethanol, c2h5oh, of mass 2.3*10^-2.3g? (NA=6.0*10^23mol^-1)

sdas [7]

Answer:

3.0 × 10²⁰ molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ethanol = 2.3 × 10⁻²°³ g

Number of molecules = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of ethanol:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.3 × 10⁻²°³ g / 46.07 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 × 10⁻²°³ mol

Number of molecules:

One mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

0.05 × 10⁻²°³ mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules / 1 mol

0.30 × 10²⁰°⁷ molecules

3.0 × 10¹⁹°⁷ molecules which is almost equal to 3.0 × 10²⁰ molecules.

At 25°C, K = 0.090 for the following reaction. H2O(g) + Cl2O(g) equilibrium reaction arrow 2 HOCl(g) Calculate the concentration

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

[HOCl] = 0.00909 mol/liter

[H₂O] = 0.03901 mol/liter

[Cl₂O] = 0.02351 mol/liter

Explanation:

1. Chemical reaction:

$H_2O(g)+Cl_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons 2 HOCl(g)$

2. Initial concentrations:

i) 1.3 g H₂O

Number of moles = 1.3g / (18.015g/mol) = 0.07216 mol

Molarity, M = 0.07216 mol / 1.5 liter = 0.0481 mol/liter

ii) 2.2 g Cl₂O

Number of moles = 2.2 g/ (67.45 g/mol) = 0.0326 mol

Molarity = 0.0326mol / 1.5 liter = 0.0217 mol/liter

3. ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table

$H_2O(g)+Cl_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons 2 HOCl(g)$

I 0.0481 0.0326 0

C -x -x +x

E 0.0481-x 0.0326-x x

4. Equilibrium expression

$K_c=\dfrac{[HOCl]^2}{[H_2O].[Cl_2O]}$

$0.09=\dfrac{x^2}{(0.0481-x)(0.0326-x)}$

5. Solve:

$x^2=0.09(x-0.0481)(x-0.0326)\\\\0.91x^2+0.007263x-0.000141125=0$

Use the quadatic formula:

$x=\dfrac{-0.007263\pm \sqrt{(0.007263)^2-4(0.91)(-0.000141125)}}{2(0.91)}$

The positive result is x = 0.00909

Thus the concentrations are:

[HOCl] = 0.00909 mol/liter

[H₂O] = 0.0481 - 0.00909 = 0.03901 mol/liter

[Cl₂O] = 0.0326 - 0.00909 = 0.02351 mol/liter
