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.

A sample of CO2 weighing 86.34g contains how many molecules?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

1.181 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

86.34 g CO₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversion</u>

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of CO₂ - 12.01 + 2(16.00) = 44.01 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

<u />86.34 \ g \ CO_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ CO_2}{44.01 \ g \ CO_2} )(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ CO_2}{1 \ mol \ CO_2} ) = 1.18141 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>We are given 4 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

1.18141 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂ ≈ 1.181 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂

How are electrons excited in element?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

By absorbing energy electron is jump into higher energy level. This is called excitation.

Explanation:

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.
