(a)
Interpretation:
Conditions of Frasch process has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Frasch process: In this process the elemental sulfur is extracted from the underground. This method was proposed by American chemist Herman Frasch. In this method superheated water is used to melt the sulfur.
Figure 1
To explain: The boiling point of water is high in high pressures.

- Aluminum is produced commercially by the electrolysis of Al2O3 in the presence of a molten salt. If a plant has a continuous capacity of 1.00 million A, what mass of aluminum can be produced in 2.00 h?arrow_forwardPhosphorous acid, H3PO3, is oxidized to phosphoric acid, H3PO4, by nitric acid, which is reduced to nitrogen monoxide, NO. Write the balanced equation for this reaction.arrow_forward4.48 Elemental phosphorous is used in the semiconductor industry. It can be obtained from an ore called fluoroapatite via reaction with SiO2 and C: 4Ca5( PO4)3F+18SiO2+30C3P4+30CO+18CaSiO3+2CaF2 Suppose a particular semiconductor production plant requires 1500 kg of P4. If the recovery of P4 from this reaction is 73% efficient, what mass of fluoroapatite is needed?arrow_forward
