Explain why metals are good conductors of electric current.

Chemistry

Gnom [1K]2 years ago

Metals are good conductors because the molecules that are inside the metal are tightly packed together. This is why the heat moves through the metal quickly.

What is the molar solubility of marble (i.e., [ca2 ] in a saturated solution in normal rainwater, for which ph=5.60? express you
Brut [27]
Missing in your question :

Ksp of(CaCO3)= 4.5 x 10 -9

Ka1 for (H2CO3) =  4.7 x 10^-7

Ka2 for (H2CO3) = 5.6 x 10 ^-11

1) equation 1 for Ksp = 4.5 x 10^-9 

CaCO3(s)→ Ca +2(aq)    +  CO3-2(aq)  

2) equation 2 for Ka1 = 4.7 x 10^-7

 H2CO3 + H2O → HCO3- + H3O+

3) equation 3 for Ka2 = 5.6 x 10^-11

 HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l) → CO3-2 (aq)  + H3O+(aq)

so, form equation 1& 2&3 we can get the overall equation:
CaCO3(s)  +  H+(aq)  → Ca2+(aq)   + HCO3-(aq)

note: you could get the overall equation by adding equation 1 to the inverse of equation 3 as the following:
when the inverse of equation 3 is :

CO3-2 (aq) + H3O+ (aq) ↔ HCO3- (aq) + H2O(l)  Ka2^-1 = 1.79 x 10^10
when we add it to equation 1
CaCO3(s) ↔ Ca2+(aq)  +  CO3-2(aq)   Ksp = 4.5 x 10^-9

∴ the overall equation will be as we have mentioned before:
when H3O+ = H+

CaCO3(s) + H+(aq)  ↔ Ca2+ (aq) + HCO3-(aq)   K= 80.55

from the overall equation:

∴K = [Ca2+][HCO3-] / [H+]

when we have [Ca2+] = [HCO3-] so we can assume both = X

∴K = X^2 / [H+]

when we have the PH = 5.6 so we can get [H+]

PH = - ㏒[H+]
5.6 = -㏒[H]
∴[H] = 2.5 x 10^-6

so, by substitution on K expression:

∴ 80.55 = X^2 / (2.5 x10^-6)

∴X = 0.0142

∴[Ca2+] = X = 0.0142

In this salt water floating egg experiment, how will you use these calculations to find the density of the egg? I’m really confu
Agata [3.3K]

Glass 1 Freshwater  

The egg went directly to the base of the glass. Consequently it has sunk and did not drift

Glass 2  

Water with 2 teaspoons of salt  

A similar outcome for glass 2 as container 1 when egg was set into the container it sank to the base.

Glass 3  

Water with 3 teaspoons of salt  

In reference to glass 1 and 2 the egg sank to the base for a third time.

Glass 4  

Water with 4 teaspoons of salt  

The egg remained gliding to where a little bit of the egg was standing out on the top, and when pushed down the egg returned up.
