During industrial water treatment, temporary hardness caused by dissolved calcium hydrogencarbonate is removed chemically via Clark's process by adding a controlled quantity of slaked lime, Ca(OH)2\text{Ca(OH)}_2. Which balanced chemical equation correctly represents this water-softening reaction?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Ca(HCO3)2(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)2CaCO3(s)+2H2O(l)\text{Ca(HCO}_3)_2\text{(aq)} + \text{Ca(OH)}_2\text{(aq)} \rightarrow 2\text{CaCO}_3\text{(s)} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O(l)}

Cevap

Ca(HCO3)2(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)2CaCO3(s)+2H2O(l)\text{Ca(HCO}_3)_2\text{(aq)} + \text{Ca(OH)}_2\text{(aq)} \rightarrow 2\text{CaCO}_3\text{(s)} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O(l)}
The equation Ca(HCO3)2(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)2CaCO3(s)+2H2O(l)\text{Ca(HCO}_3)_2\text{(aq)} + \text{Ca(OH)}_2\text{(aq)} \rightarrow 2\text{CaCO}_3\text{(s)} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O(l)} represents Clark's process. Slaked lime provides hydroxide ions that neutralize the hydrogencarbonate ions in temporary hard water, precipitating all calcium as insoluble calcium trioxocarbonate(IV), leaving soft water.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the chemical cause of temporary hardness in the water sample
Temporary hardness is caused by dissolved calcium hydrogencarbonate, Ca(HCO3)2(aq)\text{Ca(HCO}_3)_2\text{(aq)}.
Hydrogencarbonate salts of calcium and magnesium decompose or precipitate when treated with appropriate alkaline agents.
2
Apply the principles of Clark's process for temporary hardness removal
Clark's process involves adding a calculated amount of slaked lime, Ca(OH)2(aq)\text{Ca(OH)}_2\text{(aq)}, which supplies hydroxide ions to convert hydrogencarbonate ions into insoluble trioxocarbonate(IV) ions.
Adding excess lime would re-introduce calcium ions and cause artificial hardness, so a stoichiometric amount is used.
3
Balance the precipitation chemical equation
Ca(HCO3)2(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)2CaCO3(s)+2H2O(l)\text{Ca(HCO}_3)_2\text{(aq)} + \text{Ca(OH)}_2\text{(aq)} \rightarrow 2\text{CaCO}_3\text{(s)} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O(l)}
One mole of calcium hydrogencarbonate reacts with one mole of calcium hydroxide to produce two moles of insoluble calcium trioxocarbonate(IV) and two moles of water.

The value of xx is 2.
The original 5.00 g5.00\text{ g} sample contains 14%14\% non-volatile impurity (0.70 g0.70\text{ g}). Upon heating, only water evaporates, leaving 4.10 g4.10\text{ g} of residue.

Calculate the mass of the inert, non-volatile impurity in the original sample.
Mass of impurity=14%×5.00 g=0.70 g\text{Mass of impurity} = 14\% \times 5.00\text{ g} = 0.70\text{ g}.
The sample consists of pure hydrated salt and 14%14\% inert non-volatile impurity.

In petroleum refining, catalytic cracking breaks down long-chain hydrocarbons into smaller, economically valuable fractions. If one mole of dodecane (C12H26C_{12}H_{26}) undergoes thermal-catalytic cracking to yield one mole of hexane (C6H14C_6H_{14}) and two moles of an alkene product XX, what is the molecular formula of XX?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: C3H6C_3H_6

Cevap

The molecular formula of alkene XX is C3H6C_3H_6 (propene).
In catalytic cracking, atomic mass is conserved. Subtracting the atoms of hexane (C6H14C_6H_{14}) from dodecane (C12H26C_{12}H_{26}) leaves 6 carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms. Since 2 moles of product XX are formed (2X=C6H122X = C_6H_{12}), dividing by 2 yields C3H6C_3H_6, which is propene, a valid alkene.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Write the balanced stoichiometric equation for the cracking reaction.
C12H26C6H14+2XC_{12}H_{26} \rightarrow C_6H_{14} + 2X
Cracking conserves the total number of carbon and hydrogen atoms between reactants and products.
2
Determine the remaining number of carbon and hydrogen atoms allocated to 2X2X.
Carbons: 126=612 - 6 = 6, Hydrogens: 2614=1226 - 14 = 12. Total fragment formula is C6H12C_6H_{12}.
Subtract the atoms present in one mole of hexane from dodecane.
3
Divide the carbon and hydrogen count by 2 to find the formula of 1 mole of product XX.
Carbon count for X=62=3X = \frac{6}{2} = 3, Hydrogen count for X=122=6X = \frac{12}{2} = 6. Formula of X=C3H6X = C_3H_6.
Since two moles of alkene XX are produced, each mole contains half the remaining atoms, fitting the general formula for alkenes (CnH2nC_nH_{2n}).

Cevap

BF3BF_3 matches Trigonal planar, CH4CH_4 matches Tetrahedral, BeCl2BeCl_2 matches Linear, and H2OH_2O matches Bent (V-shaped).
According to VSEPR theory, molecular shape depends on the total number of bonding pairs and lone pairs surrounding the central atom. BeCl2BeCl_2 has 2 bonding pairs with no lone pairs, yielding a linear geometry. BF3BF_3 has 3 bonding pairs with no lone pairs, producing a trigonal planar geometry. CH4CH_4 has 4 bonding pairs with no lone pairs, resulting in a tetrahedral geometry. H2OH_2O has 2 bonding pairs and 2 non-bonding lone pairs, creating a bent (V-shaped) geometry.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the number of valence electron pairs (bonding pairs and lone pairs) surrounding the central atom for each chemical species.
BF3BF_3 has 3 bonding pairs and 0 lone pairs; CH4CH_4 has 4 bonding pairs and 0 lone pairs; BeCl2BeCl_2 has 2 bonding pairs and 0 lone pairs; H2OH_2O has 2 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs.
VSEPR theory states that electron pairs around a central atom arrange themselves to minimize electrostatic repulsion.
2
Deduce the resulting molecular geometry for each molecule based on the arrangement of bonding and lone pairs.
3 bond pairs (0 lone pairs) = Trigonal planar; 4 bond pairs (0 lone pairs) = Tetrahedral; 2 bond pairs (0 lone pairs) = Linear; 2 bond pairs + 2 lone pairs = Bent.
Lone pairs exert greater repulsive force than bonding pairs, bending the molecular framework accordingly.

An aqueous solution of ammonium ethanoate (CH3COONH4CH_3COONH_4) is approximately neutral with a pH close to 7 because neither the ammonium cation (NH4+NH_4^+) nor the ethanoate anion (CH3COOCH_3COO^-) undergoes hydrolysis in water.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: False

Cevap

The statement is False. Both the cation (NH4+NH_4^+) and anion (CH3COOCH_3COO^-) undergo hydrolysis in water, but because the acid dissociation constant of the parent weak acid (KaK_a) equals the base dissociation constant of the parent weak base (KbK_b), the concentrations of generated hydronium and hydroxide ions are equal, producing a neutral solution.
The statement incorrectly attributes the neutral pH of aqueous ammonium ethanoate to an absence of hydrolysis. In reality, both the conjugate acid (NH4+NH_4^+) and conjugate base (CH3COOCH_3COO^-) hydrolyze simultaneously; neutrality arises solely because KaK_a of ethanoic acid equals KbK_b of ammonia.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the parent acid and parent base of ammonium ethanoate (CH3COONH4CH_3COONH_4).
Ammonium ethanoate is derived from ethanoic acid (CH3COOHCH_3COOH), a weak acid, and aqueous ammonia (NH3NH_3), a weak base.
Salts formed from weak acids and weak bases yield conjugate species that are strong enough to react with water.
2
Analyze the hydrolysis behavior of both ions in aqueous solution.
Cation hydrolysis: NH4++H2ONH3+H3O+NH_4^+ + H_2O \rightleftharpoons NH_3 + H_3O^+. Anion hydrolysis: CH3COO+H2OCH3COOH+OHCH_3COO^- + H_2O \rightleftharpoons CH_3COOH + OH^-.
Both NH4+NH_4^+ (weak acid) and CH3COOCH_3COO^- (weak base) hydrolyze simultaneously in water.
3
Determine the net effect of mutual hydrolysis on solution pH.
Since Ka(CH3COOH)=1.8×105K_a(CH_3COOH) = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} and Kb(NH3)=1.8×105K_b(NH_3) = 1.8 \times 10^{-5}, [H3O+]=[OH][H_3O^+] = [OH^-], leading to pH7.0\text{pH} \approx 7.0.
Equal ionization constants produce balanced amounts of hydronium and hydroxide ions, resulting in a neutral solution despite significant hydrolysis of both ions.

Sulfur tetrafluoride (SF4SF_4) and xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4XeF_4) are both covalent fluorides containing four fluorine atoms bonded to a central atom. Based on VSEPR theory and hybridization models, which of the following correctly pairs the molecular geometry and central atom hybridization state for SF4SF_4 and XeF4XeF_4, respectively?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: SF4SF_4: Seesaw geometry with sp3dsp^3d hybridization; XeF4XeF_4: Square planar geometry with sp3d2sp^3d^2 hybridization

Cevap

SF4SF_4 has a seesaw molecular geometry with sp3dsp^3d hybridization on the sulfur atom, while XeF4XeF_4 has a square planar molecular geometry with sp3d2sp^3d^2 hybridization on the xenon atom.
For SF4SF_4, sulfur has 6 valence electrons forming 4 single bonds and retaining 1 lone pair, giving 5 electron domains (sp3dsp^3d hybridization). The lone pair occupies an equatorial site of the trigonal bipyramid, yielding a seesaw shape. For XeF4XeF_4, xenon has 8 valence electrons forming 4 single bonds and retaining 2 lone pairs, giving 6 electron domains (sp3d2sp^3d^2 hybridization). The two lone pairs lie opposite each other along the axial axis, resulting in a square planar geometry.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine valence electron count and electron domains for SF4SF_4
Sulfur has 6 valence electrons. Bonding 4 fluorine atoms consumes 4 electrons, leaving 2 non-bonding electrons (1 lone pair). Total steric number = 4 bonding pairs + 1 lone pair = 5 electron domains.
VSEPR theory requires calculating the total number of electron pairs around the central atom.
2
Assign hybridization and molecular geometry for SF4SF_4
A steric number of 5 corresponds to sp3dsp^3d hybridization and trigonal bipyramidal electron geometry. With 1 equatorial lone pair, the molecular shape is seesaw.
Lone pairs prefer equatorial positions in trigonal bipyramidal systems to minimize electron repulsion, leading to a seesaw geometry.
3
Determine valence electron count and electron domains for XeF4XeF_4
Xenon has 8 valence electrons. Bonding 4 fluorine atoms consumes 4 electrons, leaving 4 non-bonding electrons (2 lone pairs). Total steric number = 4 bonding pairs + 2 lone pairs = 6 electron domains.
Steric number governs hybridization and electron arrangement for the central xenon atom.
4
Assign hybridization and molecular geometry for XeF4XeF_4
A steric number of 6 corresponds to sp3d2sp^3d^2 hybridization and octahedral electron geometry. With 2 axial lone pairs opposing each other (180° apart), the molecular geometry is square planar.
Axial placement of two lone pairs in an octahedral arrangement maximizes separation and produces a planar square arrangement of bonded fluorine atoms.

Arrange the following sequential transformations of nitrogen in the biological nitrogen cycle, beginning with atmospheric molecular nitrogen (N2N_2) and concluding with its re-release into the atmosphere:

Öğeleri doğru sıraya koymak için sürükleyin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The correct sequence of nitrogen cycle transformations is: Nitrogen fixation (N2NH4+N_2 \rightarrow NH_4^+), Nitrosification (NH4+NO2NH_4^+ \rightarrow NO_2^-), Nitration (NO2NO3NO_2^- \rightarrow NO_3^-), Assimilation (NO3organic plant proteinsNO_3^- \rightarrow \text{organic plant proteins}), and Denitrification (NO3N2NO_3^- \rightarrow N_2).
The biological nitrogen cycle proceeds in a specific logical sequence. First, atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2N_2) must undergo nitrogen fixation to become ammonium ions (NH4+NH_4^+). Next, nitrification occurs in two steps: nitrosification converts ammonium (NH4+NH_4^+) to nitrite (NO2NO_2^-) via *Nitrosomonas*, followed by nitration converting nitrite (NO2NO_2^-) to nitrate (NO3NO_3^-) via *Nitrobacter*. Plants then assimilate these nitrate ions (NO3NO_3^-) into organic plant proteins. Finally, denitrifying bacteria reduce residual soil nitrates (NO3NO_3^-) back into atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2N_2) under anaerobic conditions.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the initial entry point of atmospheric nitrogen into the biosphere.
Gaseous nitrogen (N2N_2) is fixed into ammonium ions (NH4+NH_4^+) by nitrogen-fixing bacteria (e.g., *Rhizobium*, *Azotobacter*).
Atmospheric N2N_2 has a strong triple covalent bond (NNN \equiv N) and cannot be directly utilized by higher plants without preliminary biological fixation.
2
Determine the initial oxidation stage of nitrification (nitrosification).
Ammonium ions (NH4+NH_4^+) are oxidized to nitrite ions (NO2NO_2^-) by *Nitrosomonas*.
Nitrification occurs in two distinct microbial steps, starting with ammonium conversion to nitrite.
3
Determine the second oxidation stage of nitrification (nitration).
Nitrite ions (NO2NO_2^-) are oxidized to nitrate ions (NO3NO_3^-) by *Nitrobacter*.
Nitrate (NO3NO_3^-) is the most readily absorbed and utilized form of inorganic nitrogen for plants.
4
Trace the biological uptake of bioavailable soil nitrogen.
Plants absorb NO3NO_3^- ions and assimilate them into plant proteins and nucleic acids.
Inorganic nitrate is reduced inside plant tissues and converted into organic amino acids.
5
Identify the pathway responsible for returning gaseous nitrogen to the atmosphere.
Denitrifying bacteria (e.g., *Pseudomonas denitrificans*) convert unabsorbed soil nitrates (NO3NO_3^-) into atmospheric N2N_2 gas under anaerobic conditions.
Denitrification closes the global nitrogen loop by replenishing free atmospheric N2N_2.

During the industrial extraction of aluminium by the Hall-Héroult electrolytic process, why must the graphite anode rods be replaced at regular intervals?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The oxygen gas discharged at the anode reacts with the graphite at high operating temperatures to form carbon dioxide

Cevap

The oxygen gas discharged at the anode reacts with the graphite at high operating temperatures to form carbon dioxide
During the Hall-Héroult process, oxide ions (O2O^{2-}) are discharged at the carbon (graphite) anode to produce oxygen gas. Because the cell operates at approximately 950°C, the freshly liberated oxygen gas reacts with the carbon anodes to form carbon dioxide (CO2CO_2) and carbon monoxide (COCO). As a result, the graphite anodes are burned away over time and must be routinely replaced.

The solution turns pale green (or green) due to the formation of iron(II) ions (Fe2+Fe^{2+}), accompanied by the deposition of a yellow precipitate of elemental sulfur (SS).
Hydrogen sulfide gas (H2SH_2S) acts as a strong reducing agent. When passed into an acidified solution of iron(III) chloride (FeCl3FeCl_3), it reduces yellow Fe3+Fe^{3+} ions to light green Fe2+Fe^{2+} ions, while H2SH_2S itself gets oxidized to form a yellow precipitate of elemental sulfur (SS). The overall ionic equation for the reaction is: 2Fe(aq)3++H2S(g)2Fe(aq)2++2H(aq)++S(s)2Fe^{3+}_{(aq)} + H_2S_{(g)} \rightarrow 2Fe^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2H^+_{(aq)} + S_{(s)}.

Water matches with Hydrogen bonding; Trichloromethane matches with Permanent dipole-dipole interaction; Argon matches with London dispersion forces; Hydrated sodium ion matches with Ion-dipole interaction.
Water undergoes hydrogen bonding due to the presence of highly polar O-H\text{O-H} bonds. Trichloromethane exhibits permanent dipole-dipole attractions because it is a polar molecule without hydrogen attached to N, O, F\text{N, O, F}. Argon is a nonpolar noble gas that relies solely on temporary induced dipoles (London dispersion forces).

According to the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory, what is the molecular shape and central atom hybridization of sulfur dioxide (SO2SO_2)?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Bent (V-shaped) with sp2sp^2 hybridization

Cevap

Bent (V-shaped) geometry with sp2sp^2 hybridization of the central sulfur atom.
The central sulfur atom in SO2SO_2 has three electron regions around it (two bonding regions to oxygen atoms and one lone pair). Three electron regions dictate a trigonal planar electron geometry and sp2sp^2 hybridization. Because one of these regions is a lone pair, the observable molecular geometry formed by the atoms is bent (V-shaped).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the valence electron count and electron domains around the central sulfur atom in SO2SO_2.
Sulfur (Group 16) brings 6 valence electrons. It forms 2 double bonds with 2 oxygen atoms (2 bonding domains) and retains 1 lone pair of electrons. Total electron domains = 3.
VSEPR theory uses the total number of electron domains (bonding regions + lone pairs) to determine spatial arrangement.
2
Determine the hybridization of the central atom.
3 electron domains correspond to an sp2sp^2 hybridization state.
Mixing one s orbital and two p orbitals yields three equivalent sp2sp^2 hybrid orbitals directed towards the corners of an equilateral triangle.
3
Determine the molecular geometry based on bonding domains and lone pairs.
With 3 electron domains (2 bonding domains and 1 lone pair), the electron geometry is trigonal planar, but the molecular geometry (shape formed by atoms) is Bent (V-shaped) with a bond angle of slightly less than 120120^\circ.
Lone pair-bonding pair repulsion compresses the OSOO-S-O bond angle slightly below the ideal 120120^\circ trigonal planar angle.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Calcium chloride (CaCl2\text{CaCl}_2)

Cevap

Calcium chloride (CaCl2\text{CaCl}_2) is deliquescent because it absorbs atmospheric water vapor to form a liquid solution.
Calcium chloride (CaCl2\text{CaCl}_2) is a deliquescent solid. When exposed to air with sufficient humidity, its surface vapor pressure is much lower than the partial pressure of water vapor in the atmosphere, causing it to absorb water continuously until it fully dissolves into an aqueous solution.

Cevap

Concentration increase matches with higher particle density and collision frequency per unit volume; temperature increase matches with higher average kinetic energy and greater fraction of particles exceeding activation energy; adding a catalyst matches with providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy; crushing a solid matches with increasing exposed surface area for collisions.
Each rate factor operates via a specific collision theory principle: concentration governs particle crowding and collision frequency per unit volume; temperature primarily governs the proportion of successful high-energy collisions; catalysts reduce the energy barrier via an alternate pathway; and particle size determines the surface contact area available for collisions.

In a gas effusion experiment conducted at constant temperature and pressure, a sample of sulfur(IV) oxide (SO2SO_2) effuses through a micro-porous aperture at a rate of 0.625 cm3 s10.625\text{ cm}^3\text{ s}^{-1}. A gaseous alkane, designated as hydrocarbon XX, effuses through the exact same aperture at a rate of 1.25 cm3 s11.25\text{ cm}^3\text{ s}^{-1}. Given relative atomic masses (S=32S = 32, O=16O = 16, C=12C = 12, H=1H = 1), determine the molecular formula of hydrocarbon XX.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: CH4; CH_4; methane; CH4 (methane)

Cevap

The molecular formula of hydrocarbon X is CH4 (methane).
According to Graham's Law of Effusion, the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. The ratio of the rate of effusion of hydrocarbon X to that of sulfur(IV) oxide (SO2SO_2, molar mass 64 g/mol64\text{ g/mol}) is 1.25/0.625=21.25 / 0.625 = 2. Squaring this ratio gives 4=64/MX4 = 64 / M_X, yielding a molar mass of 16 g/mol16\text{ g/mol} for hydrocarbon X. For an alkane with general formula CnH2n+2C_n H_{2n+2}, a molar mass of 16 g/mol16\text{ g/mol} corresponds to n=1n = 1, giving the molecular formula CH4CH_4 (methane).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the molar mass of sulfur(IV) oxide (SO2SO_2).
M(SO2)=32+2(16)=64 g/molM(SO_2) = 32 + 2(16) = 64\text{ g/mol}
The molar mass of the reference gas is needed to apply Graham's law.
2
Apply Graham's Law of Diffusion/Effusion relating effusion rates to molar masses.
rXrSO2=M(SO2)MX    1.250.625=64MX\frac{r_X}{r_{SO_2}} = \sqrt{\frac{M(SO_2)}{M_X}} \implies \frac{1.25}{0.625} = \sqrt{\frac{64}{M_X}}
Graham's law states that the rate of diffusion/effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass.
3
Solve for the molar mass of hydrocarbon XX (MXM_X).
2=64MX    4=64MX    MX=16 g/mol2 = \sqrt{\frac{64}{M_X}} \implies 4 = \frac{64}{M_X} \implies M_X = 16\text{ g/mol}
Squaring both sides allows direct calculation of the unknown molar mass.
4
Determine the molecular formula of the alkane with molar mass 16 g/mol16\text{ g/mol}.
Alkane general formula: CnH2n+2    12n+1(2n+2)=16    14n+2=16    14n=14    n=1C_n H_{2n+2} \implies 12n + 1(2n+2) = 16 \implies 14n + 2 = 16 \implies 14n = 14 \implies n = 1. Thus, formula is CH4CH_4.
Comparing the calculated molar mass to the general molecular formula of alkanes identifies the specific hydrocarbon.

Eşleşmeler

Cevap

High electrical conductivity corresponds to unconfined valence electrons drifting directionally under an applied potential difference. High malleability and ductility correspond to non-directional electrostatic attractions allowing cation layers to slide past each other while maintaining cohesive forces. Higher melting point of iron compared to sodium corresponds to the contribution of delocalized d-orbital electrons alongside s-electrons. Lustrous reflective appearance corresponds to the oscillation of free valence electrons absorbing and rapidly re-emitting incident photons.
High electrical conductivity is explained by the movement of unconfined valence electrons drifting directionally when a potential difference is applied. High malleability and ductility stem from non-directional electrostatic forces allowing metal cation planes to slide over each other without breaking cohesive bonds. The higher melting point of transition metals like iron compared to alkali metals like sodium is caused by extra binding strength provided by delocalized d-orbital electrons in addition to s-electrons. Metallic luster is caused by mobile valence electrons absorbing incident light energy and immediately re-emitting it.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Electrical conduction requires mobile charge carriers. In metals, delocalized valence electrons move freely across the lattice under an electric potential.

Deformation causes layers of cations to slip over each other. Because metallic bonds are non-directional, the electron sea adjusts instantly to keep the lattice bound without brittle cleavage.
Explains malleability and ductility via non-directional bonding.
3
Compare the bonding strength of alkali metals versus transition metals.
Sodium donates only one s-electron per atom into the sea, whereas iron donates both s and unpaired inner d-electrons, greatly increasing the electrostatic cohesive energy and melting point.

4
Analyze the interaction between light waves and delocalized electron clouds.
Mobile surface electrons readily absorb light energy and oscillate, promptly re-radiating light photons to generate a high spectral reflectance (luster).

Öğeleri doğru sıraya koymak için sürükleyin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The correct sequence for municipal water purification is: Aeration → Coagulation (addition of alum) → Sedimentation → Sand Filtration → Chlorination (Disinfection).
Municipal water treatment follows a logical progression designed to clear large and dissolved impurities first before fine physical filtering and final chemical disinfection. Aeration removes volatile gases and oxidizes metals; coagulation aggregates colloidal particles using alum; sedimentation settles the heavy flocs; sand filtration removes micro-particles; and chlorination destroys disease-causing microorganisms as the final safeguard before piping to households.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the initial physical treatment step for raw water.
Aeration is performed first to remove volatile odors/gases and oxidize dissolved iron salts into insoluble forms.
Air exposure improves taste and prepares dissolved metals for precipitation.
2
Determine the step that precipitates fine colloidal particles.
Coagulation with potash alum follows aeration.
Alum causes fine, non-settling colloidal particles to aggregate into larger flocs.
3
Identify how the aggregated flocs are removed bulk-wise.
Sedimentation allows these heavy flocs to settle to the basin floor.
Gravity settling removes the bulk of suspended solids before filtration.
4
Identify the step that removes residual microscopic suspended solids.
Sand filtration passes clear water through sand and gravel beds.
Filtration traps any residual suspended particles that escaped sedimentation.
5
Identify the final biological safety step prior to distribution.
Chlorination is carried out as the final step.
Sterilization must occur after physical clarity is achieved so chlorine acts effectively on pathogenic bacteria.

During a quality control procedure in a chemical plant, a liquid sample containing microscopic colloidal solids suspended in a dense solvent is found to pass through filter paper without separating. Which technique utilizes high-speed rotation to exert an enhanced artificial gravitational force, forcing the suspended particles to settle rapidly at the bottom based on particle density?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Centrifugation

Cevap

Centrifugation is the physical separation technique that uses rapid spinning to generate centrifugal force, causing dense suspended particles in a liquid medium to settle out rapidly.
Centrifugation is the appropriate technique because rapid rotation generates centrifugal force, accelerating the settling rate of fine, insoluble suspended particles based on density differences when gravity settling or filtration is ineffective.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the physical state of the mixture described in the stem.
The mixture consists of microscopic colloidal solid particles suspended in a liquid medium that cannot be trapped by standard filter paper pores.
Identifying component sizes and physical properties determines the correct separation mechanism.
2
Evaluate the separation principle required for fine suspensions.
When gravity settling is too slow and filtration fails, high-speed rotational motion creates a strong outward centrifugal force that forces dense solid particles to sediment quickly at the tube bottom.
Centrifugation relies on density differences between suspended solids and the surrounding fluid medium under elevated pseudo-gravitational forces.
