3 0

Metals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc. are extracted by electrolysis of their chlorides in molten state.

These metals are not extracted by reduction of their oxides with carbon because:

Carbon has less affinity for oxygen than these metals

Carbon is a weaker reducing agent than these metals

These metals easily form oxides with oxygen, their oxides are very stable. Affinity to the oxygen is one the greatest of all elements.

Reducing agent is element or compound who loose electrons in chemical reaction. Sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium are very strong reducing agents because they easily loose one or two valence electrons.

Electrolysis is a chemical methode that uses electric currents for chemical reactions.

The reaction is a substitution reaction since bromide ion was replaced by hydroxide ion.

<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>

A chemical reaction is a change which results in a the permanent rearrangements of the atoms and constituents of a substance such that new substances are formed.

The given reaction is a as follows:

$CH_3Br (aq) + OH^{-} (aq) \rightarrow CH_3OH (aq) + Br^{-} (aq) \\$

Bromide ion was replaced by hydroxide ion.

Therefore, the reaction is a substitution reaction.

Calculate the pH of the following aqueous solution:

Annette [7]

The pH of an aqueous solution that has a concentration of 0.35 M NaF and pKa for HF = 3.14 is 3.6.

<h3>How to calculate pH?</h3>

The pH of a solution refers to the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the solution. It can be calculated using the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation as follows:

pH = pka + log ([A-]/[HA])

Where;

A- = conjugate base
HA = weak acid

pH = pKa + log([F-]/[HF])

pH = 3.14 + log(1/0.35)

pH = 3.14 + 0.4559 = 3.595

Therefore, the pH of an aqueous solution that has a concentration of 0.35 M NaF and pKa for HF = 3.14 is 3.6.

A sample of 42 mL of carbon dioxide gas was placed in a piston in order to maintain a constant 101 kPa of pressure.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 33.4 ml

Explanation:

Data

volume 1 = V1 = 42 ml

temperature 1 = T1 = 20°C

temperature 2 = T2 = -60°C

Volume 2 = V2 = x

Process

1.- Convert celsius to kelvin

T1 = 20 + 273 = 293°K

T2 = -60 + 273 = 233°K

2.- Use the Charles' law to solve this problem

$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$

Solve for V2

V2 = $\frac{V1T2}{T1}$

3.- Substitution

V2 = $\frac{(42)(233)}{293}$

4.- Simplification

V2 = $\frac{9786}{293}$

5.- Result

V2 = 33.4ml
