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.

Salt is an ionic compound that is produced when a cation and an anion from an acid-base reaction combine, and solutions of salts
Andrej [43]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

The statement given regarding salt is correct,

Salt is ionic in nature, as it is composed of a positive ion, i.e. , cation and a negative ion, i.e. , anion.

Salt can be made by the combination of respective acid and base.

There are three nature of salt, acid, base and neutral.

Hence, from the given statement of the question,

The correct option is a. True.

Calculate the percent by mass of each element in
Zepler [3.9K]
The elements present in Ammonium Nitrate are Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Oxygen at a ratio of 4:2:3, respectively. Hydrogen weighs in at 1.008 amu, Nitrogen at 14.007, and Oxygen at 15.999. This means that the molar mass would be:

Hydrogen
4 x 1.008 = 4.032 amu

Nitrogen
2 x 14.007 = 28.014 amu

Oxygen
3 x 15.999 = 47.997 amu

Total
4.032 + 28.014 + 47.997 = 80.043 amu

The molar mass of Ammonium Nitrate is 80.043 grams per mole.

The reaction of ethane gas (C2H6) with chlorine gas produces C2H5Cl as its main product (along with HCl). In addition, the react
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The percent yield of  chloro-ethane in the reaction is 82.98%.

Explanation:

C_2H_6+Cl_2\rightarrow C_2H_5Cl+HCl

Moles of ethane = \frac{300.0 g}{30 g/mol}=10 mol

Moles of chlorine gases =\frac{650.0 g}{71 .0 g/mol}=9.1549 mol

As we can see that 1 mol of ethane react with 1 mole of chlorine gas.the 10 moles will require 10 mole of chlorine gas, but only 9.1549 moles of chlorine gas is present.

This means that chlorine gas is in limiting amount and amount of formation of chloro-ethane will depend upon amount of chlorine gas.

According to reaction , 1 mol of chloro ethane gives 1 mol of chloro-ethane.

Then 9.1549 moles of chlorien gas will give:

\frac{1}{1}\times 9.1549 mol=9.1549 mol of chloro-ethane

Mass of 9.1549 moles of chloro-ethane:

9.1549 mol × 64.5 g/mol = 590.4910 g

Theoretical yield of  chloro-ethane: 590.4910 g

Given experimental yield of chloro-ethane: 490.0 g

\% Yield=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

\%Yield (C_2H_5Cl)=\frac{490.0 g}{590.4910 g}\times 100=82.98\%

The percent yield of  chloro-ethane in the reaction is 82.98%.

The idea that atoms are indivisible explains all of the following except which of the following​
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

ll matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms.

Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties. Atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties.

Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed.

Atoms of different elements can combine in simple whole number ratios to form chemical compounds.

In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged.

Each atom is uniform, homogeneous, colorless, tasteless, and indivisible.ll atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties. Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms. A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atom.

You are trying to boil water while camping in the Colorado Rockies. The surrounding barometric pressure is 0.9 bar, and the wate
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Perfectly Specified

Explanation:

Given,

Pressure = P = 0.9 atm

and the Boiling point = T

Number of phases P = 1

Number of components C = 1

According to Gibb's phase rule ,

F = C - P + 2

If

  • F = 0, the system is perfectly specified

  • F > 0, the system is under specified

  • F < 0 the system is over specified

At P = 0.9 atm, boiling point is T i.e. Fixed equal to 96.7 °C (from steam table)

P is independent variable and T is dependent variable (depends on the value of P ).

In this case only two variables are required to fix the system pressure and temperature.

In the given problem, pressure is fixed so the temperature is also fixed. There is no requirement of any other variable.

Therefore degree of freedom,

F = 0

The system is perfectly specified.
