Why do metals lose shine but gold does not?

Chemistry

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>

How many Grams of NO is produced if 12g of O2 is combined with excess ammonia?
stich3 [128]

Answer:

9g

Explanation:

moles O2 = mass / Mr = 12 / 2(16.0) = 0.375

ratio O2 : NO = 5:4

moles NO produced = 0.375 * 4/5 = 0.3

mass NO = Mr * mol = (14.0+16.0) * 0.3 = 9g

Bill, a lab technician, was asked to measure out sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for an experiment in a research lab. He was given a cho
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

He is wrong . Most accurate is Buret .

Explanation:

The number of significant figure denotes the level of accuracy of a measurement .

Beaker can measure liquid in mL upto significant figure of 2 . That means it can measure volume in terms of 10 , 20 , 30mL etc . It can not measure 25 mL

accurately . The last figure of 28 mL is read by guess in the question . So it is not an accurate measurement .

Similarly , graduated cylinder can measure liquid upto significant figure of 3 .  That means it can measure volume in terms of 11 , 22 , 33 mL etc . It can not measure 25.5  mL accurately . The last figure of 28.3  mL is read by guess in the question . So it is less  accurate measurement .

Similarly , buret  can measure liquid upto significant figure of 4 .  That means it can measure volume in terms of 11.2 , 22.3 , 33.5 mL etc . It can not measure 25.53  mL accurately . The last figure of 28.32  mL is read by guess in the question . So it is most accurate among all the three instrument because it can measure accurately mL upto one tenth of it .

Logs in a fire, and charged batteries are examples of?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Logs in a fire is an example of something burning, also changing its state of form. I think thats chemical change; going from wood to ashes. And charged batteries means they haven't been used yet or they were just charged, resulting in physical change.

Explanation:

I just learned this in science.

I hope this helps!
