Curd is not kept in copper and brass , why?

1 answer:

8 0

“when kept in copper or brass vessels,curd(and other acidic food items) reacts with copper and forms toxic compounds which may be unfit for human consumption,and may cause food poisoning.thus it is not advisable to keep curd and other acidic or sour food items in copper or brass vessels.”

Which of the following is the best explanation for a covalent bond?

Scrat [10]

Answer:

A. electrons simultaneously attracted by more than one nucleus

Explanation:

Covalent bond is the bond which is formed with the sharing of the electrons between the two atoms which are taking part in the bond. It is generally formed between the atoms with similar electronegativity values.
It is the bond which is generally occurs within non metals as they share electrons to complete their octet.
The difference in the electronegativity values of the atoms involving in a covalent bond must not exceed the value of 1.7 .

Thus, the electrons are attracted by the two different nucleus of the atoms that are taking part in the bonding.

<u>So, the correct answer is:- A. electrons simultaneously attracted by more than one nucleus</u>

Which event is an example of melting?

avanturin [10]

Answer:

A. Wax drips down the side of a lot candle.

Explanation:

The chemical change from solid to liquid. This is a combustion reaction, so carbon dioxide gas and water vapour is also produced but you can't see them

The goose has a mass of 19.2 lb (pounds) and is flying at 7.10 miles/h (miles per hour). What is the kinetic energy of the goose

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

43.868 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of a body is the amount of energy possessed by a moving body. The SI unit of kinetic energy is the joule (kg⋅m²⋅s⁻²).

According to classical mechanics, kinetic energy = 1/2 m·v²

Where, m= mass in kg and v= velocity in m/s

Given: m = 19.2 lb and v = 7.10 miles/h

Since, 1 lb= 0.453592 kg

∴ m = 19.2 lb = 19.2 × 0.453592 kg = 8.709 kg

Also, 1 mi = 1609.34 m and 1 h = 3600 sec

∴ v = 7.10 mi/h = 7.10 × 1609.34 m ÷ 3600 sec = 3.174 m/sec

Therefore, <u>kinetic energy of the goose</u> = 1/2 m·v² = 1/2 × (8.709 kg)× (3.174 m/sec)² = 43.868 J

A sample from a local stream is found to have 3.0 ppm nitrates (in the form of sodium nitrate). How many grams of sodium nitrate

maw [93]

Answer:

0.01028 grams of sodium nitrate would there be in 2.5 L of the stream.

Explanation:

The ppm is the amount of solute (in milligrams) present in kilogram of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.

To calculate the ppm of oxygen in sea water, we use the equation:

$\text{ppm}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 10^6$

Both the masses are in grams.

We are given:

The ppm concentration of nitrates = 3.0 ppm

Mass of nitrates = x

Mass of steam= m

Volume of steam = V = 2.5 L = 2500 ml ( 1 L = 1000 mL)

Density of steam = d = 1.0 g/mL

$M=d\times V=1.0 g/mL\times 2500 mL = 2500 g$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3.0=\frac{x}{2500 g}\times 10^6$

$x=0.0075 g$

Mass of nitrate = 0.0075 g

Moles of nitrate = $\frac{0.0075 g}{62 g/mol}=0.0001210 mol$

1 mole of nitrate ion is present in 1 mole of sodium nitrate.

Then 0.0001210 moles of nitrate will be present in :

$\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0001210 mol=0.0001210 mol$ of sodium nitrate;

Mass of 0.0001210 moles of sodium nitrate :

0.0001210 mol × 85 g/mol = 0.01028 g

0.01028 grams of sodium nitrate would there be in 2.5 L of the stream.

Which is the anode (oxidation) and cathode (reduction)?

arsen [322]

Answer:

2H+ + 2e - ---> H2(g) is the cathode

2Cl - ---> Cl2(g) + 2e - is the anode

Explanation:

Hydrogen ion has gained two electrons, making it undergo reduction. While chlorine has lose two electrons, hence undergoing oxidation.
