Why is calgon conditioning better than phosphate conditioning?

1 answer:

6 0

Calgon conditioning is better than phosphate conditioning because it forms a water soluble complex Na2[Ca2(PO3)6] and does not form even scales.
hope this helps

C2H5OH(aq) + MnO− 4 (aq) → Mn2+(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) of acetic acid from ethanol by the action of permanganate ion in acidic soluti

Andreas93 [3]

Answer :

Ethanol $(C_2H_5OH)$ act as reducing agent.

The smallest possible integer coefficient of $MnO_4^-$ in the combined balanced equation is, 4

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Reducing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to reduce and itself gets oxidized. Thus, it will undergo oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to oxidize and itself gets reduced. Thus, it will undergo reduction reaction.

The given chemical reaction is,

$C_2H_5OH(aq)+MnO_4^-(aq)\rightarrow CH_3COOH(aq)+Mn^{2+}(aq)$

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : $C_2H_6O\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2$

Reduction : $MnO_4^-\rightarrow Mn^{2+}$

Now balance oxygen atom on both side.

Oxidation : $C_2H_6O+H_2O\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2$

Reduction : $MnO_4^-\rightarrow Mn^{2+}+4H_2O$

Now balance hydrogen atom on both side.

Oxidation : $C_2H_6O+H_2O\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2+4H^+$

Reduction : $MnO_4^-+8H^+\rightarrow Mn^{2+}+4H_2O$

Now balance the charge.

Oxidation : $C_2H_6O+H_2O\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2+4H^++4e^-$

Reduction : $MnO_4^-+8H^++5e^-\rightarrow Mn^{2+}+4H_2O$

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 5 and reduction reaction by 4 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation : $5C_2H_6O+5H_2O\rightarrow 5C_2H_4O_2+20H^++20e^-$

Reduction : $4MnO_4^-+32H^++20e^-\rightarrow 4Mn^{2+}+16H_2O$

The balanced chemical equation in acidic medium will be,

$5C_2H_6O+4MnO_4^-+12H^+\rightarrow 5C_2H_4O_2+4Mn^{2+}+11H_2O$

In the redox reaction ethanol act as reducing agent and permanganate ion act as an oxidizing agent.

This means that the steel bar lost 14900 J of thermal energy. What is the change in temperature of the steel bar? Recall that th

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

ΔT=-747,13°C

Explanation:

Sensible heat is the amount of thermal energy that is required to change the temperature of an object, the equation for calculating the heat change is given by:

Q=msΔT

where:

Q, heat that has been absorbed or realeased by the substance [J]
m, mass of the substance [g]
s, specific heat capacity [J/g°C] (
ΔT, changes in the substance temperature [°C]

To solve the problem, we clear ΔT of the equation and then replace our data:

Q=msΔT

ΔT=Q/ms

Δ $T=\frac{-14900 J}{40,7g*0,49\frac{J}{gC} }=-747,13$ °C

(Note that Q=-14900 J because there is a LOST of thermal energy)

Thus, the change in temperature of the steel bar is -747,13°C, meaning that the temperature of the bar decreases.
