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.

For bleaching a stain, there will be an identifiable odor and it will easily absorb colors and/or stains. Burning a match also has odor involved, but the smoke that is released is from a hot fire that is chemically produced by the formula to make the tip of the match.

At a certain temperature, Kc = 0.0500 and ∆H = +39.0 kJ for the reaction below, 2 MgCl2(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) + Cl2(g) Calculate
Minchanka [31]

Explanation:

Since, it is shown that the reaction has been reversed. Therefore, value of K_{c} will become \frac{1}{K_{c}}.

Hence, new K_{c'} = \frac{1}{K_{c}}

                                      = \frac{1}{0.0500}

                                      = 20

Also, the number of moles of each reactant has been halved. So, K_{c''} for the reaction MgO(s) + \frac{1}{2}Cl2(g) → MgCl_{2}(s) + \frac{1}{2} O2(g) will also get halved.

Therefore,     K_{c''}  = K_{c'} = (20)^{0.5}

                               = 4.47

As the value of \Delta H is given as +39.0 kJ. So, it means that the reaction is endothermic in nature. So, energy of reactants will be more than the products. Hence, according to Le Chatelier's principle reaction will move in the forward direction.

As a result, K_{c} will also increase with increase in temperature.
