Van Arkel method of purification of metals involves converting the metal to a [BHU 1990]A) Volatile stable compound B) Volatile unstable compound C) Nonvolatile stable compound D) None of the above

Answer»

The CORRECT answer should be the option B - Volatile unstable compound.

Van Arkel method is used for purifying METALS like TI and Zn which are then refined. This method is used to obtain ultra-pure metals. It is also CALLED as Vapor Phase refining. The process involves the decomposition of the metal compound into different unstable substances when heat is supplied. This is called as thermal decomposition.

The metals are converted into unstable metal IODIDES which decompose easily to form pure metals.

Ti + 2I₂ → 500 K + TiI₄ → 1700 K + Ti (Pure metal) + 2I₂

Calculate molarity of water if its density is 1000 kg m3

Answer»

Hello Dear.

Here is the answer---

••••••••••••••••••••••

Given 》
Density of the Water = 1000 kg/m3

We know,
1 liter of water = 1 kg.
( Since, Density is 1000 kg/ m^3

Thus, 1000 ml of water = 1 kg.
(Since, 1 liter = 1000 ml)

Now, MASS of Water = 1 kg.
= 1000 g.

Molecular mass of the water molecules = 18 grams.

USING the formula,

No.of moles = Mass/ Molecular mass.
= 1000/18 moles.
= 55.56 moles.

For the Molarity,

Using the Formula,

Molarity =
(No. of Moles/Volume in ml) × 1000
= (55.56/1000) × 1000
= 55.56 M.

Thus, the molarity of the water is 55.56 M.

How many atoms and molecules of sulphur are present in 64 g of s8

Answer»

This is a question of moles testing the CONCEPT of AVOGADROS CONSTANT.

We begin by getting molar mass of S₈.

Molar mass of one Sulphur = 32g/mol

Molar mass of S₈ = 32 × 8 = 256g /mol

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles = 64/256 = 0.25moles

AVOGADROS CONSTANT :

1 mole = 6.02 × 10²³ ATOMS

The number of atoms in S₈ :

6.02 × 10²³ × 0.25 = 1.505 × 10²³ atoms.

The answer : 1.505 × 10²³ atoms

Vapour density of a mixture of NO2 and N2O4 is 34.5 then percentage abundance of NO2 in mixture is1)50%2)25%3)40%4)60%please give step by step solution

Answer»

Answer:

Explanation:

=> Here, mixture of NO2 and N2O4 is given. So,

                  N2O4    →    2NO2

initial moles;      1            0

at EQUILIBRIUM;   1−X         2x

TOTAL moles at equilibrium = 1−x +2x = 1+x

Molecular weight of equilibrium mixture = 2 * 34.5 (V.D.) = 69

Molecular weight at initial = 92

=> THUS, the value of x can be calculated as:

initial moles / moles at equilibrium = M.wt. of equilibrium mixture / Initial M.wt.

1 / 1+x = 69 / 92

1+x = 92/69

1+x = 1.33

x = 1.33 - 1

x = 0.33

Total moles at equilibrium = 1 + x = 1 + 0.33 = 1.33

Moles of NO2 at equilibrium = 2x = 2*0.33 = 0.66

=> Percentage abundance of NO2 = moles of NO2 at equilibrium / total moles at equilibrium

= 0.66/1.33 * 100

= 0.4962 * 100

= 49.62%

≈ 50%

Hence,  percentage abundance of NO2 in mixture is approx 50%.

Copper sulfate and iron nail chemical equation

Answer»

Hey there!

When Copper sulphate and iron nail are put together then the reactions occurs is: 

FE(s) + CuSO₄ (aq) → FeSO₄(aq) + Cu (s)

As we KNOW the colour copper sulphate solution is blue in colour. When we put iron nail in it , copper forms brown coloured COATING on iron nail. The solution's colour also changes to LIGHT green colour. 

Hence, it is a DISPLACEMENT reaction as iron is more reactive than copper and copper is displaced to form ferrous sulphate solution.

If the impurity in a metal has a greater affinity for oxygen and is more easily oxidised than the metal, then the purification of metal may be carried out by [MP PMT 1997]A) Poling B) Zone refining C) Electrolytic refining D) Cupellation

Answer»

Metals obtained by reduction processes STILL contain some objectionable impurities and hence have to be refined. Refining techniques vary widely from metal to metal and also depend on the USE to which a metal has to be put. Sometimes during refining some substances may have to be ADDED to impart some desirable characteristics to the metal. In some CASES a metal is refined to RECOVER valuable by-products present as impurities. Some of the refining processes used are defined below.

Ozone can be easily detected by the use of

Answer»

Ozone (O3) is a triatomic molecule, consisting of three oxygen atoms. It is an allotrope of oxygen that is much less stable than the diatomic O2. Ground-level ozone is an air pollutant with harmful effects on the respiratory systems of animals.

 

The ozone layer in the upper atmosphere filters potentially damaging ultraviolet light from reaching the Earth's surface. It is present in low concentrations throughout the Earth's atmosphere. It has many INDUSTRIAL and consumer applications.

 

Most people can detect about 0.01 ppm of ozone in air where it has a very specific sharp odor somewhat resembling chlorine BLEACH. Exposure of 0.1 to 1 ppm produces headaches, burning eyes, and irritation to the respiratory passages. Even low concentrations of ozone in air are very destructive to organic materials such as latex, plastics, and lungs.

 

Low range ozone gas detection (ppb-range) is essential in detection of ozone. Airmet recommends the Aeroqual gas DETECTORS given their stability and long life sensors

Take about 2g of barium hydroxide in a test tube. Add 1g of ammonium chloride and mix with the help of a glass rod. Touch the bottom of the test tube with your palm. What do you feel? Is this an exothermic or endothermic reaction?

Answer»

ANSWER: It is an endothermic reaction.

Explanation:

When barium hydroxide is ADDED to ammonium hydroxide then it results in the formation of barium chloride and ammonium hydroxide.

The chemical reaction equation is as follows.

    Ba(OH)_{2} + 2NH_{4}Cl \rightarrow BaCl_{2} + 2NH_{4}OH

This reaction is endothermic in nature because when barium hydroxide is added in ammonium chloride then they absorb HEAT.

Pls answer fastfor my question (mass one)

Answer»

What is ur question ???????


To calculate the mass of a single atom, first look up the atomic mass of oxygen from the PERIODIC table.
This number 16, is the mass in grams of one mole of oxygen. One mole of carbon is 6.022 x 10^23 atoms of carbon (Avogadro’s Number). This RELATION is then used to 'convert' a carbon atom to grams by the ratio:

mass of 1 atom / 1 atom = mass of a mole of atoms / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms

Plug in the atomic mass of carbon to SOLVE for the mass of 1 atom:

> mass of 1 atom = mass of a mole of atoms / 6.022 x 10^23

> mass of 1 Oxygen atom = 16 g / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms

> mass of 1 Oxygen atom =2.65 x 10^-23 g.

48.

At what temperature liquids have higher density

Answer»

It is 4°C.

Density is inversely proportionate to Volume.

With DECREASING temperature, up to 4 degree CELCIUS, the volume of a particular amount of water shrinks and the speed of molecular movements decreases. So, the density increases gradually.

At 4 degree celcius the density becomes maximum while it is in liquid STATE.

Below 4 degree Celcius, water molecules start occupying crystal structure and while reaching solid state, the distance among one ANOTHER increases than previous. Hence with further decrease in temperature below 4 degree Celcius, the volume slightly increases and the density decreases.

One example is:

In countries FALLING under sub-polar and polar circles, water pipes often crack as water becomes ice in cold temperature. It means ice has more volume than its equivalent amount of water.
