Explain why copper is used for the roofs of some buildings and magnesium is not.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Scrat [10]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Because of the less reactivity of copper.

Explanation:

As well as being resistant to the elements and thereby less likely to be affected by rainfall, hail, and mildew than other types of roofing, copper is also one of the most fireproof materials available. Copper is also highly resistant to thermal changes and thereby doesn't deteriorate quickly.

Magnesium would also corrode PDQ. Magnesium sheeting would also pose an unacceptably high fire hazard.

Given the model from the question,

  • The products are: N₂, H₂O and H₂
  • The reactants are: H₂ and NO
  • The limiting reactant is H₂
  • The balanced equation is: 3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂

<h3>Balanced equation </h3>

From the model given, we obtained the ffolowing

  • Red => Oxygen
  • Blue => Nitrogen
  • White => Hydrogen

Thus, we can write the balanced equation as follow:

3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂

From the balanced equation above,

  • Reactants: H₂ and NO
  • Product: N₂, H₂O and H₂

<h3>How to determine the limiting reactant</h3>

3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of H₂ reacted with 2 moles of NO.

Therefore,

5 moles of H₂ will react with = (5 × 2) / 3 = 3.33 moles of NO

From the calculation made above, we can see that only 3.33 moles of NO out of 4 moles given are required to react completely with 5 moles of H₂.

Thus, H₂ is the limiting reactant

Some patterns of electron configuration are listed below. In each case, [G] stands for a noble-gas core and n, m, or o stand for
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

G]ns^2np^5 group 17 (p-block)

G]ns^2np^2 group 14 (p-block)

G]ns^2mf^14 group 16 (f-block)

Explanation:

The outermost electronic configuration of an element shows the group to which it belongs in the periodic table as shown above in the answer. In addition, to that, we can be able to know from its electronic configuration, whether the element is a metal or not.

For instance;

G]ns^2mf^14 is a rare earth metal, G]ns^2np^2 group 14 is a metalloid while G]ns^2np^5 group 17 is a nonmetal.

Tamiku [17]
F₂ + 2 NaI → 2 NaF + I₂
<span>It is given that F₂ is light yellow / colorless in hydrocarbon solvent. The student combines Fluorine water with NaI in water. Then student adds pentane in the mixture of F₂ and NaI. After dissolution, solution was observed and a colorless pentane layer was seen. Alkanes are unreactive in nature. The C-H bond in alkane is difficult to break. whereas, F₂ is very reactive and reacts vigorously with alkanes in presence of light by free radical mechanism.It is given that the color of the solution is nearly colorless. F₂ when present in hydrocarbon solvent is light yellow/ colorless/ nearly colorless. Hence, F₂ is not reacting with hydrocarbon and there is no reaction taking place (No F</span>₂ is present<span>)</span>

When you breathe the first step is that your lungs expand. why is this step needed
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
