Answer:

The reaction procedure you provided, is a kind of Baeyer-Villliger oxidation of ketone to ester. You are using Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) there, which is a strong acid, so in work up, if you didn't wash it properly by NaHCO3 (Base), it may remain in the mixture. Boiling point of TFA is 72.40C, and when you heat your crude product to 1000C for distillation, TFA starts changing its color (darkening). Other thing is, you are using Sodium percarbonate in the reaction, during the reaction they get converted to peroxides which is the major cause of darkening. If you use sufficient amount of Na2S2O5 during work up, remained residual peroxides would be removed, and the darkening would not be occur.

Whenever peroxides are heated to more temperature, they get darkened.

Answer:

Explanation:

The first law is An object won't move by itself, and once in motion, it won't stop unless some force acts upon it. With this being said when the trumpet is at his side and he is not holding it will not move not until he lets go of it.

A flask contains methane, chlorine and carbon monoxide gases. the partial pressures of each are 0.215 atm, 0.066 atm, and 0.826
hjlf

Answer;

The total pressure is 1.107 atm.

Explanation;

The total pressure is the sum of the pressures of the three gases in the flask

Pressure (total) = 0.215 atm + 0.066 atm + 0.826 atm = 1.107 atm

= 1.107 atm.

Determine the percent composition by mass of a 100g salt solution which contains 20g salt
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Mass of solution=100g

mass of salt=20g

so; mass of solute=80g

percentage composition =(mass of salt/total

mass) ×100

=  \frac{20}{100}  \times 100 \\  = 20\%

glad to help you

hope it helps

An important reaction sequence in the industrial production of nitric acid is the following: N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g) 4NH3(g) +
frutty [35]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 50 moles of O₂

Explanation:

Balanced Chemical reactions

1.-                 N₂(g)  +  3H₂ (g)   ⇒   2NH₃ (g)

2.-                4NH₃ (g) + 5O₂(g)  ⇒  4NO (g)  +  6H₂O (l)

moles of N₂(g) = 20 moles

moles of O₂(g) = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the moles of NH₃

                     1 mol of N₂ ------------- 2 moles of NH₃

                   20 moles of N₂ ---------  x

                     x = (20 x 2) / 1

                     x = 40 moles of NH₃

2.- Calculate the moles of O₂

                4 moles of NH₃ -------------- 5 O₂

               40 moles of NH₃ ------------  x

                    x = (40 x 5) / 4

                    x = 200 / 4

                    x = 50 moles of O₂

Solid aluminum metal and diatomic chlorine gas react spontaneously to form a solid product. Give the balanced chemical equation
ValentinkaMS [17]

When solid aluminum metal is reacted with diatomic chlorine gas, solid aluminum chloride is formed. This reaction is an example of synthesis or chemical combination in which two elements, aluminum and chlorine combine to form a new compound aluminum chloride.

Word equation: Aluminum (s)+ Chlorine (g)---> Aluminum chloride(s)

Molecular formula of the product formed is AlCl_{3}.

Therefore the balanced chemical equation representing the reaction of solid aluminum with gaseous dichlorine can be represented as,

2Al(s) + 3Cl_{2}(g)-->2AlCl_{3}(s)
