The rules is that, the more reactive the substance, the harder it is to extract. The reason is mainly due to the fact that you have to find a specific solvent to react the substance only, not the others.Basing on the list of reactivity of metals as shown in the picture, Zn is more reactive than Ag. Then, that means that Ag is easier to recover.

If we find that there is a linear correlation between the concentration of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere and the global temp

loris [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

A linear correlation means the increase in one variable cause an increase in the other variable. In a graph, the linear correlation can be demonstrated by a right-slanted straight diagonal line. Therefore if an increase in carbon dioxide causes a directly proportional increase in global temperatures then the two are correlated.

Dolomite is a mixed carbonate of calcium and magnesium. Calcium and magnesium carbonates both decompose upon heating to produce

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

72.03 %

Explanation:

Total mass of dolomite = 9.66 g

Let the mass of Magnesium carbonate = x g

The mass of calcium carbonate = 9.66 - x g

Calculation of the moles of Magnesium carbonate as:-

Molar mass of Magnesium carbonate = 122.44 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{x\ g}{84.3139\ g/mol}=\frac{x}{84.3139}\ mol$

Calculation of the moles of calcium carbonate as:-

Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.0869 g/mol

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{9.66 - x\ g}{100.0869\ g/mol}=\frac{9.66 - x}{100.0869}\ mol$

According to the reaction shown below:-

$MgCO_3\rightarrow MgO+CO_2$

$CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2$

In both the cases, the oxides formed from the carbonates in the 1:1 ratio.

So, Moles of MgO = $\frac{x}{84.3139}\ mol$

Molar mass of MgO = 40.3044 g/mol

Thus, Mass = Moles*Molar mass = $\frac{x}{84.3139}\times 40.3044 \ g$

Moles of CaO = $\frac{9.66 - x}{100.0869}\ mol$

Molar mass of CaO = 56.0774 g/mol

Thus, Mass = Moles*Molar mass = $\frac{9.66 - x}{100.0869}\times 56.0774 \ g$

Given that total mass of the oxide = 4.84 g

Thus,

$\frac{x}{84.3139}\times 40.3044 +\frac{9.66 - x}{100.0869}\times 56.0774=4.84$

$\frac{40.3044x}{84.3139}+56.0774\times \frac{-x+9.66}{100.0869}=4.84$

$-694.1618435x+45673.48749\dots =40843.38968\dots$

$x=\frac{4830.09780\dots }{694.1618435}$

$x=6.9582$

Thus, the mass of Magnesium carbonate = 6.9582 g

$\%\ mass=\frac{Mass_{MgCO_3}}{Total\ mass}\times 100$

$\%\ mass=\frac{6.9582}{9.66}\times 100=72.03\ \%$

Urea, (NH2)2CO, is a product of metabolism of proteins. An aqueous solution is 37.2% urea by mass and has a density of 1.032 g/m

Feliz [49]

Answer:

The molarity of urea in this solution is 6.39 M.

Explanation:

Molarity (M) is <em>the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution</em>; that is

$molarity = moles of solute ÷ liters of solution$

To calculate the molality, we need to know the number of moles of urea and the volume of solution in liters. We assume 100 grams of solution.

Our first step is to calculate the moles of urea in 100 grams of the solution,

using the molar mass a conversion factor. The total moles of 100g of a 37.2 percent by mass solution is

60.06 g/mol ÷ 37.2 g = 0.619 mol

Now we need to calculate the volume of 100 grams of solution, and we use density as a conversion factor.

1.032 g/mL ÷ 100 g = 96.9 mL

This solution contains 0.619 moles of urea in 96.9 mL of solution. To express it in molarity, we need to calculate the moles present in 1000 mL (1 L) of the solution.

0.619 mol/96.9 mL × 1000 mL= 6.39 M

Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 6.39 M.

Aleks [24]

Answer : Option 4) Region of the most probable electron location.

Explanation : As per the electron cloud model of the atom, an orbital is a region where the probability of finding an electron is highest. According to this model which was used to identify the probable location of the electrons when they go around the nucleus of an atom.

This electron cloud model was different from the older Bohr atomic model by Niels Bohr.
