Explain this method (Froth floatation method)..........​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Svetach [21]3 years ago
3 0

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.

What is the concentration of a solution which is 2g in 150cm3 in g/dm3
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

13.33 g/dm³

Explanation:

Concentration (g/dm³)= mass(g) ÷ volume (dm³)

Now you need to convert 150 cm³ to dm³

1000cm³ = 1 dm³

thus, 150 cm3= 150 ÷ 1000

= 15dm³

and you already have mass in grams

so concentration  = 2 ÷ 0.15

= 13.33 g/dm³ and there you go.. solved ;)

10. Which of the following best describes the reaction 2VO3– (aq) + Zn (s) + 8H+ (aq) → 2VO2 (aq) + Zn2+ (aq) + 4H2O (l)? ______
Oduvanchick [21]
Correct answer is option E. <span>It is a redox reaction in which Zn is oxidized at the anode, and V is reduced at the cathode.

Reason:
In above reaction, the oxidation state of VO3- is +5, while that of VO2 is +4. Thus there is reduction of V from +5 to +4
In case of Zn, oxidation state of Zn is increased from 0 to +2, Thus process is referred as oxidation. </span>
