Why is sample dropped into the preheated furnace before the oxygen concentration reaches its peak in Figure 27-9?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The reason why the sample is being dropped into the preheated furnace before the oxygen concentration reaches its peak is explained in this problem.

Step by step solution

01

Analzing oxidation and reduction reaction.

  • The loss of electrons by a molecule, atom, or ion during a reaction is referred to as oxidation.When the oxidation state of a molecule, atom, or ion increases, this is referred to as oxidation.
  • Reduction is a half-reaction in which a chemical species reduces its oxidation number by gaining electrons. The other half of the reaction involves oxidation, which involves the loss of electrons.
02

Determining the reason why sample is dropped into the preheated furnace before the oxygen concentration reaches its peak.

We will state why the sample is being dropped into the preheated furnace before the oxygen concentration reaches its peak.

Pyrolysis:

  • Pyrolysis (thermal decomposition) is a process of heating the substance in the absence of added oxygen in the atmosphere in order to convert:
  • The oxygen to carbon dioxide (reduction)
  • Here the substance passes through a catalyst

In the Figure 27-9 the pyrolysis gives gaseous products before the oxidation that occurs. This is accomplished by dropping the sample into the preheated furnace (before excess oxygen is present).

This would minimize the production of nitrogen oxides which are highly reactive gases

Therefore the reason why the sample is being dropped into the preheated furnace before the oxygen concentration reaches its peak is explained in this problem.

Statistics of coprecipitation. 17In Experiment 1,200.0mL of solution containing 10.0mg of SO42-(from Na2SO4) were treated with excess Bacl2 solution to precipitate BaSO4 containing some coprecipitated Cl-. To find out how much coprecipitated was present, the precipitate was dissolved in 35mL of 98wt%H2SO4 and boiled to liberate , which was removed by bubbling gas through the H2SO4. The HCI/N2 stream was passed into a reagent solution that reacted with to give a color that was measured. Ten replicate trials gave values of 7.8,9.8,7.8,7.8,7.8,7.8,13,7,12.7,13.7, and 12.7. Experiment 2 was identical to the first one, except that the mL solution also contained of from ). Ten replicate trials gave 7.8,10,8,8.8,7.8,6.9, 8.8, 15.7 , 12.7 , 13.7and 14.7ฮผmolCl-.

(a) Find the mean, standard deviation, and 95% confidence interval for Cl-in each experiment.

(b) Is there a significant difference between the two experiments? What does your answer mean?

(c) If there were no coprecipitate, what mass of BaSO4(FM 233.39) would be expected?

(d) If the coprecipitate is (FM 208.23), what is the average mass of precipitate(BaSO4+BaCl2)in Experiment 1. By what percentage is the mass greater than the mass in part (c)?

Marie Curie dissolved 0.091 92 g of RaCl2 and treated it with excess AgNO3to precipitate 0.088 90 g of AgCl. In her time (1900), the atomic mass of Ag was known to be 107.8 and that of Cl

was 35.4. From these values, find the atomic mass of Ra that Marie Curie would have calculated.

The thermogravimetric trace on the next page shows mass loss by Y2(OH)5Clโ‹…xH2O upon heating. In the first step, waters of hydration are lost to give ~8.1% mass loss. After a decomposition step,19.2% of the original mass is lost. Finally, the composition stabilizes atY2O3 above 8009C.

(a) Find x in the formula Y2(OH)5Clโ‹…xH2O.Because the 8.1% mass loss is not accurately defined in the experiment, use the 31.8% total mass loss for your calculation.

(b) Suggest a formula for the material remaining at the 19.2% plateau. Be sure that the charges of all ions in your formula sum to 0 . The cation is Y3+.

A mixture weighing 7.290mgcontained only cyclohexane, C6H12(FM 84.159), and oxirane, C2H4O(FM 44.052). When the mixture was analyzed by combustion analysis, 21.999mg ofCO2(FM 44.009) were produced. Find the weight percent of oxirane in mixture.

Man in the vat problem.15 Long ago, a workman at a dye factory fell into a vat containing hot, concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids. He dissolved completely! Because nobody witnessed the accident, it was necessary to prove that he fell in so that the manโ€™s wife could collect his insurance money. The man weighed 70 kg, and a human body contains |6.3 parts per thousand (mg/g) phosphorus. The acid in the vat was analyzed for phosphorus to see whether it contained a dissolved human.

(a) The vat contained8.00ร—103Lof liquid, and a 100.0-mL sample was analyzed. If the man did fall into the vat, what is the expected quantity of phosphorus in 100.0 mL?

(b) The 100.0-mL sample was treated with a molybdate reagent that precipitated ammonium phosphomolybdate,(NH4)3[P(Mo12O40)]12H2OThis substance was dried at110ยฐCto remove waters of hydration and heated to400ยฐCuntil it reached the constant compositionP2O5ร—24MoO3, which weighed 0.371 8 g. When a fresh mixture of the same acids (not from the vat) was treated in the same manner, 0.033 1 g ofP2O5ร—24MoO3(FM3596.46)was produced. This blank determination gives the amount of phosphorus in the starting reagents. TheP2O5ร—24MoO3that could have come from the dissolved man is therefore0.3718-0.0331=0.3387g.How much phosphorus was present in the 100.0-mL sample? Is this quantity consistent with a dissolved man?
