Concept introduction:
Sol-gel method: Metal alkoxide, (obtained from metal and alcohol) undergoes hydrolysis and yields metal hydroxide. These metal hydroxides are known as sol and they are fine particle. Further, metal hydroxides combined together to form oxygen bridges by eliminating water. Sol linked together through a three dimensional network of oxygen bridges in which is sol is converted to a material known as gel. By heating water and solvents are removed to get metal oxide.
Balanced reaction is a
Steps in balancing the information
- Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation
- Step 2: Find the coeffienct to balance the equation.
- The coeffienct should be reduced to the smallest whole number

- Silver(ag) is obtained in much of the same manner as gold using NaCN solution and O2. Describe with appropriate equation the extraction of Ag from argentite Ag2S. The products are SO2 and Ag(CN)2 which are reduced with ZN?arrow_forwardFe2O3 is produced from a pyrite concentrate containing 65% by weight of pyrite (FeS2) by total oxidizing roasting according to the following reaction. 5 tons of pyrite concentrate is roasted daily (MA, g / mol; Fe: 56; S: 32; 0: 16; H: 1). 2FeS2 + 11 / 2O2 → Fe2O3 + 4SO2 How much Fe2O3 is produced in 1 day?arrow_forwardSeveral transition metals are prepared by reduction of themetal halide with magnesium. Titanium is prepared by the Krollmethod, in which ore (ilmenite) is converted to the gaseous chlo-ride, which is then reduced to Ti metal by molten Mg. Assuming yields of 84% for step 1 and 93% for step 2,and an excess of the other reactants, what mass of Ti metal canbe prepared from 21.5 metric tons of ilmenite?arrow_forward

- A sample of pyrolusite weighing 0.6000 g is dissolved in a solution containing 5.00 mL of 6.00 N H2SO4 and 0.900 g of H2C2O4 .2H2O. The excess oxalate then requires 24.00 mL of KMnO4 solution for titration. If each mL of the KMnO4 will oxidize the Fe(II) in 0.03058 g FeSO4 .7H2O, what is the oxidizing power of the sample in terms of MnO2?arrow_forwardWhat is linkage isomerisation and why can it be important?arrow_forward2. Answer ALL parts a) - c). Sodium ([Ne] 3s¹3pº) forms a simple cubic (sc) primitive crystal structure, in which Na atoms are arranged at the corners of a cube. a) How many atoms are contained in the unit cell, and how many valence bands can be expected? b) Sketch the crystal orbitals at the special points ï'(0,0,0), X(1/2,1/2,0), and M(1/2,1/2,1/2), and hence draw the corresponding band structure along T-X-M-T. c) With the aid of a diagram, explain how the band structure would change if the cube was distorted into a rhombohedron by elongation along a body diagonal?arrow_forward
