The balanced equation for the process of hydrolysis of
Concept introduction:
The sol-gel method is a process that is used to produce metal oxide powder from metal alkoxide. Alkoxide is alkyl derivative molecule of alcohol. In the sol-gel method, metal alkoxide dissolves in suitable organic solvent and then reacts with water to introduce hydrolysis reaction. In hydrolysis reaction, the metal-alkoxide bonds
After formation of sol, the water molecules from sol molecule get eliminated to form bridge bonding and form a gel-like material. The excess water then removed from heating and convert gel into fine powder.

- A mixture of xenon and ?uorine was heated. A sample of the white solid that formed reacted with hydrogen to yield 81 ml of xenon (at STP) and hydrogen ?uoride, which was collected in waiter, giving a solution of hydro?uoric acid. The hydro?uoric acid solution was titrated, and 68.43 mL of 0.3172 M sodium hydroxide was required to reach the equivalence point. Determine the empirical formula for the white solid and write balanced Chemical equations for the reactions involving xenon.arrow_forwardThe following unbalanced reaction has been suggested for the dissolution of metallic zinc in a concentrated aqueous solution of nitric acid.
