Answer:

Hydroxyl group of the carboxylic acid is destined to leave and the oxygen of the alcohol moiety stays with its hydrogen destined to leave.

Hope this helps, please let me know if I'm wrong.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer: 3.178 Kg of ammonia must be used to produce 7.839 kg of nitric acid and The equations are not balanced. Explanation: Ostwald process is a multi-step for manufacturing Nitric Acid. First, We must check if our equations are balanced or not, by checking the amount of each element before and after the arrow. Step 1: NH3(g) + O2(g) ⟶ NO(g) + H2O(l) Step 2: NO(g) + O2(g) ⟶ NO2(g) Step 3: NO2(g) + H2O(l) ⟶ HNO3(l) + NO(g) For example in Step 1, the amount of Hydrogen atoms are different on both sides. On left side we can count 3 hydrogen atoms while on the right side we can count only 2 hydrogen atoms. In the Step 2, the amount of Oxygen atoms are different on both sides too. On the Left side we can count 3 oxygen atoms while on the right side we can count only 2 oxygen atoms and in step 3 the amount of Nitrogen atoms are different on both sides too. On the left side we can count 1 nitrogen atom while on the right side we can count 2 nitrogen atoms. So, Let´s balance equations by inspection, just adding coefficients to each compound, until the amount of atoms are equal on both sides. Step 1: 4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) ⟶4 NO(g) +6 H2O(l) Step 2: 2NO(g) + O2(g) ⟶ 2NO2(g) Step 3: 3NO2(g) + H2O(l) ⟶ 2HNO3(l) + NO(g) Second we gather the information what we are going to use in our calculations. Final Mass of HNO3 = 7,839Kg and Molecular Weigth = 63,01g/mol NH3 Molecular Weight= 17,031 g/mol Third we start discoverying the amount of NH3 that reacted completed to generate 7,839Kg of HNO3, using the giving equation and its respective molecular weights. 7,839Kg of HNO3 x 1000g / 1Kg x 1mol HNO3 / 63,01g HNO3 x 3mol NO2 / 2 mol HNO3 x 2 mol NO/ 2 mol NO2 x 4 mol NH3/4 mol NO x 17,031g NH3/1 mol NH3 x 1 Kg / 1000g= 3,178 Kg NH3 The amount of NH3 that is required to produce 7,839 Kg of HNO3 is 3,178 Kg NH3

M1 = 3M M2 = 1.25M V1 = V1=.125L unkown What is V2?

mylen [45]

0.3 L is the final volume when M₁ = 3 M, V₁ = 0.125L, M₂ = 1.25M.

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

The amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional figure as measured in cubic units.

Given data:

M₁ = 3 M

V₁ = 0.125L

M₂ = 1.25M

V₂ = ?

Solution:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

3 M × 0.125L = 1.25M × V₂

V₂ = 0.3 L

Hence, 0.3 L is the final volume.

Which of the following techniques is most appropriate for the recovery of solid KNO3 from an aqueous solution of KNO3?A. Paper c

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

E. Evaporation to dryness

Explanation:

E. - Evaporation to dryness is the best method for the recovery of solid KNO3 from an aqueous solution of KNO3.

(KNO3 is very soluble, and will violently decompose if overheated.)

Paper chromatography is for separation of different weight molecules in solution.

B. Filtration won't work on a solution

C.Titration would contaminate the salt with something else and is used

to determine concentrations

D. Electrolysis would destroy the salt
