Answer:
Cracking.
Explanation:
A chemical reaction can be defined as a reaction in which two or more atoms of a chemical element react to form a chemical compound. An example of a chemical reaction involving hydrocarbons is cracking.
Hydrocarbon can be defined as an organic compound that comprises of hydrogen and carbon only.
In Organic chemistry, cracking refers to the process of lowering the boiling point of a heavy, complex or long-chain hydrocarbon such as kerogens by exposing it to different environmental treatments such as hydrogen enriched catalysts, pressure or high temperatures, in order to produce smaller, lighter and more useful molecules (alkanes and alkenes) such as gasoline, diesel fuel, etc.
Answer:
0.109 g.
Explanation:
Equation of the reaction:
Na3PO4 + 3HCl --> 3NaCl + H3PO4
Number of moles of HCl = molar concentration × volume
= 0.1 × 0.04
= 0.004 mol.
By stoichiometry, 1 mole of Na3PO4 neutralises 3 moles of HCl. Therefore, number of moles of Na3PO4 = 0.004/3
= 0.0013 mol
Mass of Na3PO4 = molar mass × number of moles
= 0.0013 × 164
= 0.219 g
Since 50% of Na3PO4 was present in the sample. Let 100 g be the total mass of the substance
= 0.219 × 50 g/100 g
= 0.109 g.
