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.

Consider the reaction Mg₂Si(s) + 4 H₂O(ℓ) → 2 Mg(OH)₂(aq) + SiH₄(g). How many grams of silane gas (SiH₄) are formed if 25.0 g of
Neko [114]

Answer:

10.60 grams of silane gas are formed.

Explanation:

From the reaction:

Mg₂Si(s) + 4H₂O(l) → 2Mg(OH)₂(aq) + SiH₄(g)          

We know that the limiting reactant is Mg₂Si, so to find the mass of SiH₄ formed we need to calculate the number of moles of Mg₂Si:

\eta_{Mg_{2}Si} = \frac{m_{Mg_{2}Si}}{M_{Mg_{2}Si}}

Where:

m: is the mass of Mg₂Si = 25.0 g

M: is the molar mass of Mg₂Si = 76.69 g/mol

\eta_{Mg_{2}Si} = \frac{m_{Mg_{2}Si}}{M_{Mg_{2}Si}} = \frac{25.0 g}{76.69 g/mol} = 0.33 moles

Now, the stoichiometric relation between Mg₂Si and SiH₄ is 1:1 so:

\eta_{Mg_{2}Si} = \eta_{SiH_{4}} = 0.33 moles

Finally, the mass of SiH₄ is:

m_{SiH_{4}} = \eta_{SiH_{4}}*M_{SiH_{4}} = 0.33 moles*32.12 g/mol = 10.60 g

Therefore, 10.60 grams of silane gas are formed.

I hope it helps you!

How many liters of 
Kruka [31]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows
C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6O₂(g) --> 6H₂O(g) + 6CO₂<span>(g)
the limiting reactant in the equation is glucose as the whole amount of glucose is used up in the reaction.  
the amount of </span>C₆H₁₂O₆ used up - 13.2 g
the number of moles reacted - 13.2 g/ 180 g/mol  = 0.073 mol
stoichiometry of glucose to CO₂ - 1:6
then number of CO₂ moles are - 0.073 mol x 6 = 0.44 mol
As mentioned this reaction takes place at standard temperature and pressure conditions, 
At STP 1 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L
Therefore 0.44 mol of CO₂ occupies 22.4 L/mol  x 0.44 mol = 9.8 rounded off - 10.0 L
Answer is B) 10.0 L CO₂

Al wonders if adding salt to water will affect how long it takes the water to
love history [14]

The hypothesis is that salt water freezes faster than fresh water.

The dependent variable is time taken for ice to appear.

The independent variable is presence or absence of salt

The constants are the amount of water in each tray, freezing conditions and length of time of exposure to freezing condition.

The control group is the tray to which salt was not added

The experimental group is the tray to which salt was added

The presence of solutes in a solution causes the freezing point depression.

A solution is made up of a solute and a solvent. In the presence of a solute, the freezing point of a pure solvent is decreased. This is because freezing point is a colligative property.

Colligative properties depend on the amount of solute present.

Hence, the pure water freezes faster (ice begin to appear earlier) than the salt water.

The hypothesis put forward in this experiment was found to be invalid by the experiment.

For more about colligative properties, see
