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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Furkat [3]3 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>

If 350.0 grams of Cr2O3 are reacted with 235.0 grams of elemental silicon, 213.2 grams of chromium metal are recovered. What is
bulgar [2K]
We calculate for the amount of chromium metal in the reactant by,
                            = 350 x (mass of Cr2/mass of Cr2O3) 
                                 = 350 x (104/152) 
                                   = 239.47 grams
The amount of Cr metal in the product is only 213.2 grams. Thus, the percent yield.
                        percent yield = (213.2 grams/239.47) x 100%
                                             = 89%

An unknown solution has a pH of 7.2. Which of these chemicals is likely to cause the greatest decrease in the pH of the solution
monitta

Answer:

HNO₃.

Explanation:

  • It is known that acids decrease the pH of the solution, while bases increase  the pH of the solution.

So, HF and HNO₃ decrease the pH of the solution as they produce H⁺ in the solution.

<em>While, KOH and NH₃ increase the pH of the solution as they produce OH⁻ in the solution.</em>

<em />

HNO₃ will decrease the pH of the solution greater than HF.

  • Because HNO₃ is strong acid that decomposes completely to produce H⁺ more than the same concentration of HF that is a weak acid which does not decomposed completely to produce H⁺.
