Why isn't pure iron suitable for a replacement hip joint

Chemistry
1 answer:
Furkat [3]4 years ago
3 0
<span>Because iron is an element meaning that it only contains iron atoms, pure iron is easily oxidized meaning that oxygen readily reacts with the surface of the iron which causes it to rust. Therefore, since the iron joint replacement is surrounded by wet tissues would it would rust and flake off which could cause serious problems. </span>

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The data will be error free and more correct.

Explanation:

The data will show no error while testing the adsorptive properties of a new material if no centrifuge method is not used because there is no need for centrifuge method. For determining the adsorptive properties of a new material, we can measure the data after dissolving . Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions or molecules from a gas, liquid or dissolved solid to a surface while on the other hand, Centrifugation is the process where a mixture is separated from one another through fast spinning. so for determining the adsorptive properties, no centrifugation process is required and we get the correct data without centrifugation.

Determine if you can swim in 1×10^27 molecules of water
Mademuasel [1]
No you couldn’t, because a drop of water has approximately 1.61*10^21 molecules, so this would be slightly more than a drop of water
