We have that the the liquid is

  • C_2H_5OH (ethanol
  • And at a condition of H_2SO4 as catalyst and temp 170

From the question we are told

  • A student wished to prepare <em>ethylene </em>gas by <em>dehydration </em>of ethanol at 140oC using sulfuric acid as the <em>dehydrating </em>agent.
  • A low-boiling liquid was obtained instead of ethylene.
  • What was the liquid, and how might the reaction conditions be changed to give ethylene

<h3>Ethylene formation</h3>

Generally the equation is

2C_2H_5OH------CH3CH_2O-CH_2CH_3+H_20

Therefore

with ethanol at 140oC

The product is diethyl ethen

The reaction at 170 ethylene will give

C_2H_5OH-------CH_2=CH_2+H_2O( at a condition of H_2SO4 as catalyst and temp 170)

Therefore

The the liquid is

  • C_2H_5OH (ethanol

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The rate of consumption of NH_{3} is 2.0 mol/L.s

Explanation:

Applying law of mass action to this reaction-

-\frac{1}{4}\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=-\frac{1}{3}\frac{\Delta [O_{2}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\Delta [N_{2}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{6}\frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}

where -\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t} represents rate of consumption of NH_{3}, -\frac{\Delta [O_{2}]}{\Delta t} represents rate of consumption of O_{2}, \frac{\Delta [N_{2}]}{\Delta t} represents rate of formation of N_{2} and \frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t} represents rate of formation of H_{2}O.

Here rate of formation of H_{2}O is 3.0 mol/(L.s)

From the above equation we can write-

-\frac{1}{4}\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{1}{6}\frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}

Here \frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}=3.0 mol/(L.s))

So, -\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{4}{6}\frac{\Delta [H_{2}O]}{\Delta t}

Hence, -\frac{\Delta [NH_{3}]}{\Delta t}=\frac{4}{6}\times 3.0 mol/(L.s)=2.0 mol/(L.s)

Is the igneous rock destructive or constructive?
sammy [17]

This certain type of rock is constructive, not only from the fact that it was made up from earthly habits. But also it breaks down very easily, which can help the environment. Therefore a sedimentary rock is constructive.
