Why do metals lose shine but gold does not?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Gennadij [26K]3 years ago

This is because gold is melted using the outer most part of the candle flame which has complete combustion whereas metals are not burnt in this way and they react with oxygen to produce metal oxides and so the metal as well as silver loses it shine and gets a blackish appearance whereas gold remains shiny throughout because it does not have reaction with oxygen.

Because <span>Gold is a very inert metal, and won't really react with oxygen in the air.

The only reason other metals tarnish, such as copper, silver, steel/iron, is

because they're freely reacting with air, to produce a metal oxide surface layer. </span>

Consider the following multistep reaction: A+B→AB(slow) A+AB→A2B(fast)−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− 2A+B→A2B(overall) Based on this mechanis
Grace [21]

Answer:

r = k × [A] × [B]

Explanation:

To determine the rate law, we simply use the slow step reaction equation. The slow step is the rate determining step in the reaction.

A+B→AB

And as we know, the rate of the reaction is proportional directly to the product of the concentration of the reactants which concentration is changing over the course of the reaction.

r = k × [A] × [B]

Where r = rate of reaction

k = reaction rate constant

[A] = Concentration of molecule A

[B] = Concentration of molecule B

Nuclear energy can be used to power _______. a. street lights b. businesses c. homes d. all of the above Please select the best
Taya2010 [7]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

All the above

-street lights

-businesses

- Homes, etc

<h3><u>Explanation; </u></h3>
  • Nuclear energy comes from splitting atoms in a reactor to heat water into steam, turn a turbine and generate electricity.
  • Nuclear reactions are used to release nuclear energy that generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant.
  • Because nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, they do not produce greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Nuclear energy may be used in a wide variety of fields as it generates high levels of electricity without causing damage to our environment and atmosphere.

To indicate the pH of a substance, one can use a dye that is both an acid and that appears as different colors in its protonated
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

<em>The pH of the solution is 7.8</em>

Explanation:

The concentration of the solution is 0.001M and  the dye could be in its protonated and deprotonated forms. If the concentration of the protonated form [HA] is 0.0002 M the concentration of the deprotonated form will be the subtraction between the concentration of the bye and the concentration of the protonated form:

[A-] = 0.001M - 0.0002M = 0.0008M

Also, the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is

pH = pKa + Log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}

this equation shows the dependency between the pH of the solution, the pKa and the concentration of the protonated and deprotonated forms. Thus, replacing in the equation

pH = 7.2 + Log \frac{0.0008M}{0.0002M} = 7.8

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE​ ANSWER HAVE MERCY 35 POINTS
Arada [10]
You should give answers since some people will just try and find any answer, which happened to me. So like if you have answers for the question just put them like A B C D kinda like true or false for others to know what they got instead of giving them more work, and then they just give you random answers.
