A noble metal is a metal that resists oxidation and does not corrode (i.e: rust). Silver and platinum are great examples since they don't rust

Two solid blocks are HEATED to the temperatures show. The blocks are placed so they touch. Which diagram shows the DIRECTION HEA
Setler [38]

Answer:

Heat flows from the block at high temperature to the one with lower temperature

Explanation:

The direction of heat flow is from a body at higher temperature to one with a lower temperature.

  • Temperature gradient determines the way and manner in which heat is dissipated.
  • As a system tend to increase entropy, it ensures that heat moves from hotter body to a colder body.
  • Heat movement here is by conduction as the body touches.
  • When both bodies reaches the same temperature, thermal equilibrium is established.

Determine the number of 3s electrons in Na .
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Explanation:The atomic number of sodium is 11. That is, the number of electrons in sodium is 11. Therefore, a sodium atom will have two electrons in the first shell, eight in the 2nd orbit, and an electron in the 3rd shell.

If 5.85 grams of cobalt metal react with 15.8 grams of silver nitrate, how many grams of silver metal can be formed and how many
vladimir2022 [97]
Answers:
<span>Answer 1: 10.03 g of siver metal can be formed.</span>
Answer 2: 3.11 g of Co are left over.

Work:

1) Unbalanced chemical equation (given):

<span>Co + AgNO3 → Co(NO3)2 + Ag

2) Balanced chemical equation
</span>
<span>Co + 2AgNO3 → Co(NO3)2 + 2Ag

3) mole ratios

1 mol Co : 2 mole AgNO3 : 1 mol Co(NO3)2 : 2 mol Ag

4) Convert the masses in grams of the reactants into number of moles

4.1) 5.85 grams of Co

# moles = mass in grams / atomic mass

atomic mass of Co = 58.933 g/mol

# moles Co = 5.85 g / 58.933 g/mol = 0.0993 mol

4.2) 15.8 grams of Ag(NO3)

# moles Ag(NO3) = mass in grams / molar mass

molar mass AgNO3 = 169.87 g/mol

# moles Ag(NO3) = 15.8 g / 169.87 g/mol = 0.0930 mol

5) Limiting reactant

Given the mole ratio 1 mol Co : 2 mol Ag(NO3) you can conclude that there is not enough Ag(NO3) to make all the Co react.

That means that Ag(NO3) is the limiting reactant, which means that it will be consumed completely, whilce Co is the excess reactant.

6) Product formed.

Use this proportion:

2 mol Ag(NO3)           0.0930mol Ag(NO3)    
--------------------- =      ---------------------------
    2 mol Ag                              x

=> x = 0.0930 mol

Convert 0.0930 mol Ag to grams:

mass Ag = # moles * atomic mass = 0.0930 mol * 107.868 g/mol = 10.03 g

Answer 1: 10.03 g of siver metal can be formed.

6) Excess reactant left over

    1 mol Co                             x
----------------------- =  ----------------------------
2 mole Ag(NO3)       0.0930 mol Ag(NO3)

=> x = 0.0930 / 2 mol Co = 0.0465 mol Co reacted

Excess = 0.0993 mol - 0.0465 mol = 0.0528 mol

Convert to grams:

0.0528 mol * 58.933 g/mol = 3.11 g

Answer 2: 3.11 g of Co are left over.

Alka-seltzer is an antacid that is dissolved in water before use. for an experiment, three tablets of alka-seltzer are dissolved
Naddika [18.5K]

Alka-seltzer in an antacid that contains a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. When the tablet is dissolved in water, the reactants which are in solid form in tablet become aqueous and react with each other.

During this reaction, Carbon Dioxide gas is evolved which causes the reaction mixture to fizz. The equation is given below.

NaHCO_{3}\ (aq) +  H_{3}C_{6}H_{5}O_{7} (aq)\rightarrow Na_{3}C_{6}H_{5}O_{7}(aq)+ CO_{2}(g)+H_{2}O (l)

Rate of the above reaction is affected by the Temperature.

As the temperature increases , the rate of the reaction increases. This happens because at higher temperature, the collisions between reacting species are more which result in formation of product in less time. This increases the rate of reaction.

We have been given equal volumes of water for each beaker. But the temperature of beaker c is 80°C which is the highest temperature. That means the reaction in beaker c is fastest.

Whereas beaker a is at lowest temperature (30°C) , therefore the reaction in beaker a would be slowest .

Therefore the answer that correctly orders the reaction rates from fastest to slowest reaction is beaker c > beaker b > beaker a
