Ethanol with chemical formula of C2H5OH is also known as Ethyl alcohol.

Explanation:

  • The reaction between oil and NaOH or sodium hydroxide is also known as the process of Saponification.
  • The mixture of ethanol and water is completely homogenous, miscible and soluble in all proportions.
  • A mixture of ethanol and water is used to perform this reaction of Saponification is because this mixture of ethanol plus water prevents fat from reacting with oxygen present in the air.
  • Since this mixture is less polar than water it will help to dissolve all the non-polar fats present, making its reaction with Sodium hydroxide easier.

Given the initial rate data for the reaction A + B –––> C, determine the rate expression for the reaction.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

B) Δ[C]/Δt = 3,60x10⁻² M⁻¹s⁻¹ [A] [B]

Explanation:

For the reaction A + B → C

The formula for rate of reaction is:

Δ[C]/Δt = k [A] [B]

As you have [A], [B] and Δ[C]/Δt information you can multiply [A] times [B] and take this value as X and Δ[C]/Δt as Y. The slope of this lineal regression will be k.

Thus, you must obtain:

y = 3,60x10⁻² X

Thus, rate of reaction is:

B) Δ[C]/Δt = 3,60x10⁻² M⁻¹s⁻¹ [A] [B]

I hope it helps!

What is the maximum volume of a 0.788 M CaCl2 solution that can be prepared using 85.3 g CaCl2
LekaFEV [45]
Molar mass CaCl₂ = 111.0 g/mol

number of moles:

n = mass of solute / molar mass

n = 85.3 / 111.0

n = 0.7684 moles of CaCl₂

M = n / V

0.788 M = <span>0.7684 / V
</span>
V = 0.7684 / 0.788

V = 0.97512 L

hope this helps!
