An industrial chemist is studying a sample of an unknown metal. Describe two ways he could change the metal physically and two w

ays he could change the metal chemically to try to identify it.

Trava [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Some of the physical changes used by the industrial chemist in order to identify it is by scratching it with other metals in order to find the hardness of it. Trying to deform it in order to find the malleability, and to heat it and measure the temperature in order to find the melting point.  

Some of the chemical changes used by the industrial chemist in order to identify it is by inserting it in water to observe that whether it reacts with it or not, if the reaction is violent, then the metal belongs to either group I or group II. The other method is to insert it in acids of distinct strength and to observe its reaction. The metals belonging to the second group react briskly with acids. The other metals react gradually with acids and others are almost inert.

An aqueous solution contains 0.23 M potassium hypochlorite.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

0.22 mol HClO, 0.11mol HBr.

0.25mol NH₄Cl, 0.12 mol HCl

Explanation:

A buffer is defined as a mixture in solution between weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.

Potassium hypochlorite (KClO) could be seen as conjugate base of HClO (Weak acid). That means the addition of <em>0.22 mol HClO  </em>will convert the solution in a buffer. HBr reacts with KClO producing HClO, thus, <em>0.11mol HBr</em> will, also, convert the solution in a buffer. 0.23 mol HBr will react completely with KClO and in the solution you will have only HClO, no a buffering system.

Ammonia (NH₃) is a weak base and its conjugate base is NH₄⁺. That means the addition of <em>0.25mol NH₄Cl</em> will convert the solution in a buffer. Also, NH₃ reacts with HCl producing NH₄⁺. Thus, addition of<em> 0.12 mol HCl</em>  will produce NH₄⁺. 0.25mol HCl consume all NH₃.

Which of the following best explains how the results of Rutherford’s experiment affected Thomson’s widely-accepted atomic model?
hichkok12 [17]

Explanation:

Thomson's suggested the plum pudding model of the atom in which the atomic space is made up of electrons surround by positive charges.

Rutherford in his gold foil experiment revised the plum pudding model of the atom;

  • He discovered that most of the alpha particles passed through the foil while a few of them were deflected back.
  • To explain this observation, he suggested the atomic model of the atom.
  • In this model, an atom is made up of a small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.
  • Surrounding the nucleus is the extranuclear part made up of electrons.

Where does most of the mass of an atom come from? What parts of the atom make it up?
motikmotik

Answer:

nucleus

Explanation:

The majority of an atoms' mass comes from the protons and neutrons that make up its nucleus. Electrons are the least massive of an atom's constituent particles, with a mass of 9.11 x 10-31 kg and a size too small to be measured by current techniques.

If 20.0 g acetylene is allowed to completely react with oxygen, how many grams of o2 are reacted? 2c2h2(g 5o2(g → 4co2(g 2h2o(g
KATRIN_1 [288]
The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

<span>2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

We are given the amount of acetylene to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculations.

20.0g C2H2 ( 1 mol / 26.04 g) ( 5 mol O2 / 2 mol C2H2 ) ( 32 g / 1 mol ) = 61.44 g O2 is needed</span>
