<span>Silver is usually alloyed with copper to increase the hardness and strength of sterling silver. Pure silver is relatively soft and prone to tarnishing so other metals like those that copper is used to reduce tarnishing and act as a solute in sterling silver. Copper is usually soluble in most solvents.</span>

The components of the substance is the solute and the solvent. The one that exists in a larger amount is most referred to as the solvent and the one that is in smaller amount is the solute. Comparing the amounts of the substances, the solute would be the copper.

1) If calcium were to combine with the compound barium nitrate, which member of the barium nitrate would calcium replace?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Calcium would displace barium.

Explanation:

Ba(NO₃)₂ + Ca -->  Ca(NO₃)₂ + Ba

There are two types of compounds: molecular/covalent and ionic.

Molecular/covalent compounds are non-metal + non-metal.

Ionic compounds are metal + non-metal.

Looking at the periodic table, barium is a metal. Calcium is also a metal.

Checking a polyatomic ions chart would tell you NO₃⁻ is a non-metal because it has a negative charge.

Since there is no metal + metal compound, the calcium metal would displace barium. The compound remains ionic.

How did max planck contribute to the modern atomic theory?
Igoryamba

Answer:

Planck made many contributions to theoretical physics, but his fame rests primarily on his role as originator of the quantum theory. This theory revolutionized our understanding of atomic and subatomic processes, just as Albert Einstein's theory of relativity revolutionized our understanding of space and time
