Which of these is a chemical property of iron?

denpristay [2]

Iron becomes rusted especially in damp air but never in a dry air, this is one of the many unique characteristics of iron. Iron is also ductile and malleable. It is found in the seventh group of the periodic table. It has four different and unique crystalline forms and completely dissolves in dilute acids. The two chemical compounds that can be found or made from iron are the bivalent iron also known as ferrous and the trivalent iron or known as ferric compounds.

Calculate the pH of a solution prepared by mixing: (Show your work for these calculations) pk of acetic acid is 4.75 a. two mole

kupik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate pH you need to use Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log₁₀ $\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}$

Where HA is the acid concentration and A⁻ is the conjugate base concentration.

The equilibrium of acetic acid is:

CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺ pka: 4,75

Where CH₃COOH is the acid and CH₃COO⁻ is the conjugate base.

Thus, Henderson-Hasselbalch formula for acetic acid equilibrium is:

pH = 4,75 + log₁₀ $\frac{[CH_{3}COO^-]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}$

a) The pH is:

pH = 4,75 + log₁₀ $\frac{[2 mol]}{[2 mol]}$

pH = 4,75

b) The pH is:

pH = 4,75 + log₁₀ $\frac{[2 mol]}{[1mol]}$

pH = 5,05

I hope it helps!

The work function is the energy that must be supplied to cause the release of an electron from a photoelectric material. The cor

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

No photoelectric effect is observed for Mercury.

Explanation:

From E= hf

h= Plank's constant

f= frequency of incident light

Threshold Frequency of mercury= 435×10^3/ 6.6×10^-34 × 6.02×10^23

f= 11×10^14 Hz

The highest frequency of visible light is 7.5×10^14. This is clearly less than the threshold frequency of mercury hence no electron is emitted from the mercury surface

How many moles of chromium III nitrate are produced When chromium reacts with 0.85 moles of lead for nitrate to produce chromium

Pepsi [2]

0.85 moles formula units of lead nitrate will produce 0.57 moles formula units of chromium (III) nitrate.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Typically, the oxidation state of Pb in lead nitrate tend to be +2. In other words, Pb in lead nitrate tends to exist as $\text{Pb}^{2+}$ ions. The formula for a nitrate ion is ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ . The charge on each of the nitrate ion is -1. The charge on the two ions should balance. As a result, each $\text{Pb}^{2+}$ ion in lead nitrate would pair up with two ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions. The formula for lead nitrate will be $\text{Pb}({\text{NO}_3})_2$ . Each formula unit of lead nitrate will contain one $\text{Pb}^{2+}$ ion and two ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions.

The "III" in the name "chromium (III) nitrate" is a Roman Numeral. It indicates that the oxidation state of Cr in chromium (III) nitrate is +3. The Cr in that compound will exist as $\text{Cr}^{3+}$ . Similarly, each $\text{Cr}^{3+}$ will pair up with three ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions. The formula for chromium (III) nitrate will be $\text{Cr}(\text{NO}_3})_3$ . Each formula unit of chromium (III) nitrate will contain one ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ion and three ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions.

0.85 moles formula units of lead nitrate will contain 0.85 × 2 = 1.7 moles of ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions. Those nitrate ions will end up in 1.7 / 3 = 0.57 moles formula units of chromium (III) nitrate. As a result, the reaction will produce 0.57 moles formula units of chromium (III) nitrate.
