There is an old story about a king and his crown. The king hired a goldsmith to make him a crown a pure gold. After the king rec

eived the crown, he started to worry that the goldsmith might have cheated him. He thought maybe the goldsmith didn't use pure gold, maybe he used a mix of metals to save money. The king asked a man named Archimedes to figure out if the crown was pure gold or not. Archimedes reasoned that the density of a lump of gold and a crown of pure gold would be the same. How could he prove if that crown was pure gold without melting or otherwise destroying the crown?

If gold does not attract to a magnet, then it is real gold. If it does then it is not real gold. Because magnets attract materials that are made of iron, but if it doesn't attract it is real because it does not contain any iron or nickel.

I've actually used the magnet test to determine if a gold necklace of mine was real or not. If the gold item aka the crown is attracted to a magnet, it is definitely not real gold.if it isn't then its real gold.

Hey! I was wondering how to get the solution to this question!
zzz [600]

Answer:

6.22 × 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the dissociation reaction

HC₆H₅COO ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻ + H⁺

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of H⁺

The pH of the solution is 2.78.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -2.78 = 1.66 × 10⁻³ M

Step 3: Calculate the molar concentration of the benzoic acid

We will use the following expression.

Ca = mass HC₆H₅COO/molar mass HC₆H₅COO × liters of solution

Ca = 0.541 g/(122.12 g/mol) × 0.100 L = 0.0443 M

Step 4: Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka) for benzoic acid

We will use the following expression.

Ka = [H⁺]²/Ca

Ka = (1.66 × 10⁻³)²/0.0443 = 6.22 × 10⁻⁵

. Copper(I) oxide, Cu2O, is reduced to metallic copper by heating in a stream of hydrogen gas. What mass of water is produced wh
maksim [4K]
Answer: 0.07868 mol H₂O

Explanation:

1) Chemical equation:

Cu₂O +H₂ → 2Cu + H₂O

2) mole ratios:

1 mol Cu₂O : 1 mol H₂ : 2 mol Cu : 1 mol H₂O

3) Convert 10.00 g of Cu to grams, using the atomic mass:

Atomic mass of Cu: 63.546 g/mol

number of moles = mass in grams / atomic mass = 10.00g / 63.546 g/mol

number of moles = 0.1574 mol

4) Use proportions

2mol Cu           0.1574 mol Cu
--------------- =  ---------------------
1 mol H₂O                   x

⇒ x = 0.1574 mol Cu × 1 mol H₂O / 2mol Cu = 0.07868 mol H₂O

That is the answer
