The Difference Between an Alloy and an Amalgam

Chemistry
1 answer:
Delicious77 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Mixtures or combinations of various different metals or metallic substances form things called alloys. An alloy composed of mercury and other metal (or metals) forms "amalgam". When a true alloy is created, the component metals are combined together at a temperature which is greater than the melting point of all of them.

Also, it helps to remember the word "amalgamate", which means "to alloy (a metal) with mercury" according to Dictionary.com.


Hope this helped :)

How is atomic number different from mass number?
Nimfa-mama [501]
Hello Gary My Man!

Well, as you can clearly see 

<span>The atomic number of an element is basically the number of protons it has. So yes, for every element this is different. Now, the mass number of an element as known, is the number of protons+the number of neutrons.  So theoretically as we can see, this number should be a whole number, but since there are different isotopes (atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons) of each element, most periodic tables take account of that, so they often include decimals as seen. 

So in Short, ALL</span> the atoms of a particular element have the SAME EXACT atomic number<span> (</span>number<span> of protons of course). The </span>atoms of different elements have very different numbers of protons. And of course, the MASS number of an atom is the TOTAL number as known, of protons and of course, the neutrons it contains in it.

I Hope my answer has come to your Help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead! :)

What is that the theoretical yield of aluminum oxide I if 3.20 mol of aluminum metal is exposed to 2.70 mole of oxygen
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

163.2g

Explanation:

First let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction. This is shown below:

4Al + 3O2 —> 2Al2O3

From the question given, were were told that 3.2moles of aluminium was exposed to 2.7moles of oxygen. Judging by this, oxygen is excess.

From the equation,

4moles of Al produced 2moles of Al2O3.

Therefore, 3.2moles of Al will produce = (3.2x2)/4 = 1.6mol of Al2O3.

Now, let us covert 1.6mol of Al2O3 to obtain the theoretical yield. This is illustrated below:

Mole of Al2O3 = 1.6mole

Molar Mass of Al2O3 = (27x2) + (16x3) = 54 + 48 =102g/mol

Mass of Al2O3 =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of Al2O3 = 1.6 x 102 = 163.2g

Therefore the theoretical of Al2O3 is 163.2g

What is the ph of a 0.25 m solution of c6h5nh2 given that its kb is 1.8 x 10-6?
IrinaK [193]

The pH a 0.25 m solution of C₆H₅NH₂ is equal to 3.13.

<h3>How do we calculate pH of weak base?</h3>

pH of the weak base will be calculate by using the Henderson Hasselbalch equation as:

pH = pKb + log([HB⁺]/[B])

pKb = -log(1.8×10⁻⁶) = 5.7

Chemical reaction for C₆H₅NH₂ is:

                          C₆H₅NH₂ + H₂O → C₆H₅NH₃⁺ + OH⁻

Initial:                     0.25                           0            0

Change:                    -x                             x             x

Equilibrium:        0.25-x                           x             x

Base dissociation constant will be calculated as:
Kb = [C₆H₅NH₃⁺][OH⁻] / [C₆H₅NH₂]

Kb = x² / 0.25 - x

x is very small as compared to 0.25, so we neglect x from that term and by putting value of Kb, then the equation becomes:

1.8×10⁻⁶ = x² / 0.25

x² = (1.8×10⁻⁶)(0.25)

x = 0.67×10⁻³ M = [C₆H₅NH₃⁺]

On putting all these values on the above equation of pH, we get

pH = 5.7 + log(0.67×10⁻³/0.25)

pH = 3.13

Hence pH of the solution is 3.13.

What is the SI base unit for length?
sp2606 [1]

The SI base unit for length is meter.

In order to make smaller measurements, you can use the centi-, milli-, micro-, etc. prefixes.

When you want to reference larger measurements, you can use the kilo-, mega-, giga- and prefixes such as those.

In a particular titration experiment a 30.0 ml sample of an unknown hcl solution required 25.0 ml of 0.200 m naoh for the end po
Nikitich [7]
The balanced equation for the acid base reaction is as follows
NaOH + HCl ---> NaCl + H₂O
stoichiometry of NaOH to HCl is 1:1
the number of NaOH moles reacted - 0.200 mol/L x 0.0250 L = 0.005 mol
according to molar ratio
number of NaOH moles reacted = number of HCl moles reacted 
therefore number of HCl moles - 0.005 mol 
volume of 30.0  mL contains 0.005 mol
therefore 1000 mL contains - 0.005 mol / 0.030 L = 0.167 M
concentration of HCl is 0.167 M
