Answer;

-Copper (Cu)

Explanation;

-While all metals can conduct electricity, certain metals are more commonly used due to being highly conductive. The most common example is Copper. It is highly conductive which is why it is has been used in electrical wiring.

-Copper is used for electrical wiring because it is a good conductor of electricity. Metal particles are held together by strong metallic bonds, which is why they have high melting and boiling points. The free electrons in metals can move through the metal, allowing metals to conduct electricity.

B) Cu Copper is the best metal to use in an alloy because it has the highest electrical conductivity rating of all non-precious metals due to the arrangement of its electrons. They are easily excited and can easily carry an electoral charge.

When chlorine and magnesium react chemically, how many chlorine atoms will combine with one magnesium atom?

Lesechka [4]

Magnesium is divalent. This means that one magnesium atom needs to lose 2 electrons in order to become stable.

Chlorine, on the other hand, is monovalent. This means that one chlorine atom needs to gain one electron in order to become stable.

Based on this, one magnesium atom will combine with two chlorine atoms, where the magnesium loses two electrons, one for each chlorine.

The formula of the compound formed is: MgCl2

Write the balanced equation for the reaction of aqueous Pb ( ClO 3 ) 2 Pb(ClO3)2 with aqueous NaI . NaI. Include phases. chemica

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: The mass of precipitate (lead (II) iodide) that will form is 119.89 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of NaI solution = 0.130 M

Volume of solution = 0.400 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.130M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaI}}{0.400L}\\\\\text{Moles of NaI}=(0.130mol/L\times 0.400L)=0.52mol$

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of lead chlorate and sodium iodide follows:

$Pb(ClO_3)_2(aq.)+2NaI(aq.)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)+2NaClO_3(aq.)$

The precipitate (insoluble salt) formed is lead (II) iodide

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaI produces 1 mole of lead (II) iodide

So, 0.52 moles of NaI will produce = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.52=0.26mol$ of lead (II) iodide

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of lead (II) iodide = 0.26 moles

Molar mass of lead (II) iodide = 461.1 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.26mol=\frac{\text{Mass of lead (II) iodide}}{461.1g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of lead (II) iodide}=(0.26mol\times 461.1g/mol)=119.89g$

Hence, the mass of precipitate (lead (II) iodide) that will form is 119.89 grams

Which statement explains why catalysts are important for living

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Catalysts allow chemical reactions to occur at temperatures at which the organism lives.

Explanation:

Catalysts are molecules that speeden the rate of chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. In a living system, the catalyst are ENZYMES, which help to hasten up many biochemical reactions.

Another function of catalyst in living systems is that it allows chemical reactions to occur at temperatures at which the organism lives.
