Why can metals be extracted using carbon

Chemistry
1 answer:
8090 [49]2 years ago

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.

Hello, a little help please guys:( Explain how the series of experiments performed by Crookes, Thomson, Rutherford, and Chadwick
White raven [17]
<span>I did some investigation and summarized the process and made a clearer explanation so those who are confused can imagine the process better :) A scientific theory attempts to explain and describe why things happen. Hypotheses are formed and experiments are done to validate or toss the hypothesis based on the data collected. The Atomic Theory has gone through lots of refining as a scientific theory. For instance, William Crookes conduced an experiment with cathode ray tubes powered by electricity that glowed when powered. Crookes placed an object in between the positive and negative electrode and concluded that the shadow made on the positive side was small particles of matter traveling from the negative side. But more evidence was needed so, later on, J.J. Thomson continued Crookes experiment. He tested what would happen if a negative or positive charged rod was placed along the ray tubes and if it would differ if a different element was used as the negative electrode. Thomson found out that the beam had negatively charged particles and that even if the negative electrode is substituted, the glow is still present, meaning that all elements also had the small negative particles. These particles(now known as electrons) were smaller than the atom and were added to the model of the atom dispersed throughout the neutrally charged atom inside its positive sphere. Now came along Rutherford hoping to support Thomsons model by firing positively charged particles at a thin gold foil thinking it would go straight through the foil, but instead it evenly distributed as they went through the foil, concluding that atoms have a small, dense nucleus(containing positive protons and most of the mass of the atom) that deflected the particles passing through. This was a drastic change in the model now knowing that 1 proton has 2000 times the mass of an electron, but its positive charge cancels the negative electron. After WW1, Chadwick and others were seeing that sometimes the mass of the atom was greater than the mass of the protons and the number of protons was less than the mass of the atom. So it was thought that there were extra electrons and protons adding mass in the nucleus but cancelling their charges, but Rutherford proposed a particle with mass but no charge and called it a neutron; made of paired protons and electrons. But scientists kept studying atoms since there was no evidence of the neutron. Chadwick repeated these experiments though, in hopes to find the neutron and succeeded in 1932, finding it in the nucleus with a close mass to the proton. Thanks to these experiments for refining a scientific theory, we now have a clearer model of the atom.</span>

When we say an object is hot, we are describing its velocity thermal energy wavelength chemical energy?
boyakko [2]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. When we say an object is hot, we are describing its thermal energy. It<span> is the </span>energy<span> that comes from heat. This heat is generated by the movement of tiny particles within an object. </span> Hope this answers the question.

A chemical reaction yields 3 moles of lithium hydroxide (LiOH). How many grams of
grin007 [14]

72g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of LiOH = 3moles

Unknown:

Mass of LiOH = ?

Solution:

A mole of  substance is a unit used to make quantitative measures in chemistry.

It is the amount of substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.

The mole is related to mass using the expression below;

    Mass of a substance = number of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of LiOH = 7 + 16 + 1 = 24g/mol

 Mass of LiOH = 3 x 24 = 72g
