Why does it seem to us as if rocks remain the same and don't change

1 answer:

3 0

Most rocks that we encounter in our normal everyday lives are sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are rocks that have been worn down gradually over long periods of time. Because it takes very long periods of time (couple decades) for these rocks to change, it often seems as if they don't change at all, when in reality the change is too small for us to realize it!

Suggest why some metals will react with hot water but not with cold water. Explain with one example. Draw figure.

Lelechka [254]

The difference in the reactivity of metals accounts for why some metals will react with hot water but not with cold water. For example, aluminum is less reactive than sodium and will only react with hot water but not cold water.

<h3>What is reactivity of metals?</h3>

The reactivity of metals is the ability of a metals to lose electrons.

The reactivity of metals generally decreases from left to right across the periodic table but increases on going down a group.

Due to the differences in reactivity of metals, some metals are more reactive than others.

For example, the reactive metals sodium, potassium and calcium react with cold water to with differing degree of spontaneity to liberate hydrogen.

Some other metal like aluminum, zinc, and iron can only react with hot water or steam to liberate hydrogen.

Therefore, the reactivity of a metal will determine if it will react with cold water or hot water.

The reaction of equal molar amounts of benzene, C6H6, and chlorine, Cl2, carried out under special conditions, yields a gas and

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer : The molecular formula of a compound is, $C_6H_5Cl_1$

Solution : Given,

Mass of C = 64.03 g

Mass of H = 4.48 g

Mass of Cl = 31.49 g

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mole

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mole

Molar mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mole

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{64.03g}{12g/mole}=5.34moles$

Moles of H = $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{4.48g}{1g/mole}=4.48moles$

Moles of Cl = $\frac{\text{ given mass of Cl}}{\text{ molar mass of Cl}}= \frac{31.49g}{35.5g/mole}=0.887moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{5.34}{0.887}=6.02\approx 6$

For H = $\frac{4.48}{0.887}=5.05\approx 5$

For Cl = $\frac{0.887}{0.887}=1$

The ratio of C : H : Cl = 6 : 5 : 1

The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.

The Empirical formula = $C_6H_5Cl_1$

The empirical formula weight = 6(12) + 5(1) + 1(35.5) = 112.5 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}$

$n=\frac{112.5}{112.5}=1$

Molecular formula = $(C_6H_5Cl_1)_n=(C_6H_5Cl_1)_1=C_6H_5Cl_1$

Therefore, the molecular of the compound is, $C_6H_5Cl_1$
