Answer:

If a metal is less reactive than carbon, it can be extracted from its oxide by heating with carbon. The carbon displaces the metal from the compound, and removes the oxygen from the oxide. This leaves the metal.

#2 During chemistry lab, Mrs. Black’s students placed an antacid tablet in a zip lock bag. They recorded the mass of the tablet in the bag. Then they carefully added 50 grams of water and quickly sealed the bag. The tablet began to fizz and soon disappeared. The bag was filled with gas and it felt cold to the touch.

Ow many coulombs of charge are needed to produce 35.2 mol of solid zinc?

Natasha2012 [34]

<span>Answer: Zn(2+) + 2e(-) -------> Zn 1 mole of Zn is deposited by 2F of electricity ... so 48.9 mole of Zn will be deposited by 48.9 X 2F = 97.8 F of electricity... as 1F = 96500 C so 97.8 F = 97.8 X 96500 = 9437700 C of electricity...</span>

Stalactites and stalagmites form as ________ precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.

Fittoniya [83]

Stalactites and stalagmites form as ________ precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.

Group of answer choices

hydrochloric acid

sodium bicarbonate

calcium carbonate

sodium chloride

sodium hydroxide

Answer:

calcium carbonate

Explanation:

A stalactite is an icicle-looking mould that is formed by the precipitation of natural minerals as a result of water dripping from the ceiling, hanging from a cave.

A stalagmites in the other hand, grows upwards and is also a mound that is formed by the deposits of minerals gotten by the water dripping on the floor of a cave.

Therefore, stalactites and stalagmites form as calcium carbonate precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.

A sample of nitrogen gas has the temperature drop from 250.°c to 150.°c at constant pressure. what is the final volume if the in

Leviafan [203]

Charles law gives the relationship between temperature of gas and volume of gas.
It states that for a fixed amount of gas, temperature is directly proportional to volume of gas.
V / T = k
where V- volume , T - temperature and k - constant
$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$
parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation.
T1 = 250 °C + 273 = 523 K
T2 = 150 °C + 273 = 423 K
Substituting the values in the equation,

$\frac{310 mL}{523 K} = \frac{V}{423K}$
V = 251 mL
the new volume is 251 mL

What is the primary reason why elements form compounds?

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

To gain stability

Explanation:

If the outermost shell is not completely filled with electrons, the element has one of the three options: gaining electrons, losing electrons or sharing electrons. By gaining or losing electrons, ionic compounds are produced. Sharing of electrons results in the formation of covalent compounds.
