Answer:

<h3>A metric prefix is a unit prefix that precedes a basic unit of measure to indicate a multiple or submultiple of the unit. All metric prefixes used today are decadic. Each prefix has a unique symbol that is prepended to any unit symbol.</h3>

Describe how the mass of the product can be calculated when one reactant is in excess

kvasek [131]

On the off chance that one of the reactants is in overabundance yet you don't know which one it is, you have to compute the hypothetical item mass for the both reactants, with a similar item, and whichever has the lower yield is the one you use to precisely depict masses/sums for the condition, since you can't have more than the non-abundance reactant can create.

Carry out the following calculation, paying special attention to the significant figures (where 4/3 is exact), rounding, and uni

babunello [35]

Answer:

Value = 1.80 g/cm³ (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

$\frac{3.39 \times 10^7g}{(\frac{4}{3} )(3.1416)(1.65 \times 10^2 cm)^3}$

Computation:

$\frac{3.39 \times 10^7g}{(\frac{4}{3} )(3.1416)(1.65 \times 10^2 cm)^3} \\\\\frac{3.39 \times 10^7g}{(\frac{4}{3} )(3.1416)(4.492125 \times 10^6 cm^3)} \\\\ \frac{3.39 \times 10^7g}{(\frac{4}{3} )(3.1416)(4.492125 \times 10^6 cm^3)}\\\\ \frac{3.39 \times 10^7g}{18.8166132\times 10^6 cm^3} \\\\ 1.80159945g/cm^3$

Value = 1.80 g/cm³ (Approx)

What is the mass of 3.00 moles of magnesium chloride, MgCl2? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

xenn [34]

<span>To find the mass of 3.00 moles of magnesium chloride (MgCl2), first record the atomic mass of magnesium (Mg) and chloride (Cl), which are both listed on the periodic table as follows: Mg=24 g/mole Cl=38 g/mole Now, double the Cl mass since there are 2 Cl moles in MgCl2 and then add it to the Mg mass like so: (38 g/mole*2 moles)+24 g/mole=100 g/mole Finally, to calculate the mass of 3.00 moles of MgCl2, convert the combined atomic mass to grams as follows: 3.00 moles * 100 g/mole = 300 g</span>

A mixture containing 20 mole % butane, 35 mole % pentane and rest

notka56 [123]

Answer:

2.5 % butane, 42.2 % pentane and 55.3 % hexane

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the mass balance for each substance is given by:

$Butane:z_bF=y_bD+x_bB\\\\Pentane: z_pF=y_pD+x_pB\\\\Hexane: z_hF=y_hD+x_hB$

Whereas $y$ accounts for the fractions at the outlet distillate and $x$ for the fractions at the outlet bottoms. Moreover, with the 90 % recovery of butane, we can write:

$0.9=\frac{y_bD}{z_bF}$

So we can compute the product of the molar fraction of butane at the distillate by total distillate flow by assuming a 100-mol feed:

$y_bD=0.9*z_bF=0.9*0.2*100mol=18mol$

The total distillate flow:

$y_bD=18mol\\\\D=\frac{18mol}{0.95} =18.95mol$

And the total bottoms flow:

$F=D+B\\\\B=F-D=100mol-18.95mol=81.05mol$

Next, by using the mass balance of butane, we compute the molar fraction of butane at the bottoms:

$x_b=\frac{z_bF-y_bD}{B} =\frac{0.2*100mol-18mol}{81.05} =0.025$

Then, the molar fraction of pentane and hexane:

$x_p=\frac{z_pF-y_pD}{B} =\frac{0.35*100mol-0.04*18.95mol}{81.05} =0.422$

$x_h=\frac{z_hF-y_hD}{B} =\frac{(1-0.2-0.35)*100mol-(1-0.95-0.04)*18.95mol}{81.05} =0.553$

Therefore, the molar composition of the bottom product is 2.5 % butane, 42.2 % pentane and 55.3 % hexane.

NOTE: notice the result is independent of the value of the assumed feed, it means that no matter the basis, the compositions will be the same for the same recovery of butane at the feed, only the flows will change.

Regards.
