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.

<span>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.</span>

What quantity of heat is required to raise the temperature of 460g of aluminum from 15C to 85C?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Q = 28.9 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Aluminium, m = 460 g

Initial temperature, T_i=15^{\circ} C

Final temperature, T_f=85^{\circ}

We know that the specific heat of Aluminium is 0.9 J/g°C. The heat required to raise the temperature is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=mc(T_f-T_i)\\\\Q=460\ g\times 0.9\ J/g^{\circ} C\times (85-15)^{\circ} C\\\\Q=28980\ J\\\\\text{or}\\\\Q=28.9\ kJ

So, 28.9 kJ of heat is required to raise the temperature.

When writing equations the mass on the left of the arrow must
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

When writing equation the mass on left side of equation must be equal to the mass on right side. True

Explanation:

The chemical reactions always follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass because total mass is equal on both side of equation.

What is the total mass of solute in 1000. grams of a solution having a concentration of 5 parts per million?
Art [367]

50 grams or 50,000 mili grams  is the mass of solute in 1000 grams of a solution having a concentration of 5 parts per million.

Explanation:

Total mass of solution = 1000 grams or 1000 ml since 1 gram = 1 ml

concentration is 5 parts per million ( 5 mg in 1000 ml solution or 0.005 gram in 1000 ml)

the formula used for parts per million:

parts per million = \frac{mass of solute (mg)}{volume of solution}

putting the values in the equation:

parts per million = \frac{mass of solute}{volume of solvent}

0.005 x 1000 = mass of solute

50 grams= mass of solute

converting this into mg

50,000 mg. is the total mass of solute in 5ppm of 1000 ml solution.

1. An oxide of chromium is found to have the following % composition: 68.4% Cr
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Empirical formula is Cr₂O₃.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of Cr = 68.4%

Percentage of O = 31.6%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Cr = 68.4 / 52 = 1.3 2

Number of gram atoms of O = 31.6 / 16 = 1.98

Atomic ratio:

                            Cr               :         O

                           1.32/1.32     :       1.98/1.32

                               1              :        1.5

Cr : O = 1 :  1.5

Cr : O = 2(1 : 1.5)

Empirical formula is Cr₂O₃.
