Every pure substance has exact and specific density. What are two purposes that a chemist would use a calculated density for.

Chemistry
1 answer:
adell [148]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1. Density can be used to identify a substance

2. Density can be used to ascertain whether a substance will float in water.

Explanation:

The calculation of the density of a substance can be used to identify the substance. If the density of a substance is calculated accurately, and compared with a table of standard densities, then we can identify that substance.

Also, density determines whether an object will float or sink in water. If an object is less dense than water then it will float in water. If it is denser than water, then it will sink in water.

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

(a) Iron is being oxidized.

(d) Sulfur is being reduced.

Explanation:

Let's consider the following redox reaction.

8 Fe(s) + S₈(s) → 8 FeS(s)

Iron is being oxidized according to the following oxidation half-reaction:

Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(s) + 2 e⁻

Sulfur is being reduced according to the following reduction half-reaction:

S₈(s) + 16 e⁻ → 8 S²⁻(s)

Using the ideal gas law equation, we can find the number of H₂ moles produced.
PV = nRT
Where P - pressure - 0.811 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 82 175 Pa
V - volume - 58.0 x 10⁻³ m³
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 32 °C + 273 = 305 K
substituting these values in the equation,
82 175 Pa x 58.0 x 10⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 305 K
n = 1.88 mol 

The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;
CaH₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) --> Ca(OH)₂(aq) + 2H₂(g)
stoichiometry of CaH₂ to H₂ is 1:2
When 1.88 mol of H₂ is formed , number of CaH₂ moles reacted = 1.88/2 mol
therefore number of CaH₂ moles reacted = 0.94 mol
Mass of CaH₂ reacted - 0.94 mol x 42 g/mol  = 39.48 g of CaH₂ are needed

What must happen in order for atoms to bond either lonically or covalently with one another?
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

In ionic bonding, atoms transfer electrons to each other. Ionic bonds require at least one electron donor and one electron acceptor. In contrast, atoms with the same electronegativity share electrons in covalent bonds, because neither atom preferentially attracts or repels the shared electrons.
