Why do minerals with metallic bonds conduct electricity so well?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Roman55 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer and Explanation:

Because metallic bonding involves delocalized electrons. It is described as a "<em>sea of electrons</em>", because the electrons are not confined around the nucleus of metal atoms, but they are delocalized: thay can be located in one nucleus and then in another neighbor atom. Thus, the electrons have more freedom to move from one part of the metal to another and electricity is well conducted.

Answer:

K I will attempt

Explanation:

a)

O_2_{(g)}+ 2H_2_{(g)} => 2H_2O_{(l)}\\

b)

1 : 2 : 2 (I don't know if this is what the question wants but it is what I would answer)

c)

Hydrogen because it requires 2 moles of H2 to react with 1 mole of O2

d)

24 moles of water. Look at stoichiometric coefficient. 2:2 means 24 moles you get 24 moles

e)

Oxygen. 2 < 5/2. Remember, 1 mole of O2 requires 2 moles of H2. But 5/2 is still greater than 2

f)

First, let's find out how many moles of water we can get. Since O2 is the limiting reactant, and O2:H2O ratio is 1:2, we will get 4 moles of H2O. Then, we can multiply 4 by Avogadro's number which is 6.022*10^{23} to get the number of molecules. We get: 2.41 * 10^24 molecules of water.

C5H12 + O2 = CO2 + H2O
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: 241.6 grams of CO2

Explanation: you take 84.3 grams C5H12 and divide it by 72.15 grams of C5H12(which is the molar mass) you take that answer and calculate the mols of CO2 by multiplying the 1.168 you got before and multiply it by 5. You take the answer you get from that and multiply it by the molar mass of CO2 and get the theoretical yield and then you just plug it in. 94= (x/257.02)x100 and solve to find x which is the actual yield.

The pH of a 1.0M solution of butanoic acid HC4H7O2 is measured to be 2.41. Calculate the acid dissociation constant Ka of butano
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Ka = 1.52 E-5

Explanation:

  • CH3-(CH2)2-COOH ↔ CH3(CH2)2COO-  + H3O+

⇒ Ka = [H3O+][CH3)CH2)2COO-] / [CH3(CH2)2COOH]

mass balance:

⇒<em> C</em> CH3(CH2)2COOH = [CH3(CH2)2COO-] + [CH3(CH2)2COOH] = 1.0 M

charge balance:

⇒ [H3O+] = [CH3(CH2)2COO-]

⇒ Ka = [H3O+]²/(1 - [H3O+])

∴ pH = 2.41 = - Log [H3O+]

⇒ [H3O+] = 3.89 E-3 M

⇒ Ka = (3.89 E-3)² / ( 1 - 3.89 E-3 )

⇒ Ka = 1.519 E-5
