What is an element considered a pure substance?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alona [7]3 years ago

A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more different atoms chemically bonded to one another. A compound can be destroyed by chemical means. It might be broken down into simpler compounds, into its elements or a combination of the two.

rusting of steel can be prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc. Explain, in terms of electron transfer, why steal d
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Wouldn't rust because zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron and will therefore oxidize first.

Explanation:

This process whereby rusting of steel is prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc is known as galvanization.

Now, in this process, the steel object will be coated in a thin layer of zinc. This coating will prevent oxygen and water from reaching the underneath metal since the zinc will also act as a sacrificial metal.

Now, Zinc is used because it has a lower reduction potential than iron and thus it will get easily more oxidized than iron. Which means the zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron.

Also, since zinc has a lower reduction potential, it is therefore the more active metal. Thus, even if the zinc coating is scratched and the steel is exposed to moist air, the zinc will still get to oxidize before the iron.

Why do adults have stem cells
Eva8 [605]

Adults have stem cells because they are needed to repair certain tissues in the body such as in the muscles, bone marrow, skin, teeth, heart, and liver, to name a few. Thus, they can develop into many different cell types and function to replace older and damaged tissues.

The 488 nm laser is shine on a lithium metal whose work function is 2.9 eV will you be able to see any photoelectrons? if yes wh
nalin [4]

Answer:

There will not be any ejection of photoelectrons

Explanation:

Energy of the photon= hc/λ

Where;

h= Plank's constant

c= speed of light

λ= wavelength of the incident photon

E= 6.6×10^-34 × 3 ×10^8/488 × 10^-9

E= 4.1 ×10^-19 J

Work function of the metal (Wo)= 2.9 eV × 1.6 × 10^-19 = 4.64 × 10^-19 J

There can only be ejected photoelectrons when E>Wo but in this case, E<Wo hence there will not be any ejection of photoelectrons.
