Why do you think many metals are good at conducting electricity? Hurry, please!!!

1 answer:

5 0

Answer. Metals are excellent conductors because the atoms in a metal form a matrix through which their outer electrons can move freely. Instead of orbiting their respective metal atoms, they form a "sea" of electrons that surrounds the positively charged atomic nuclei of the interacting metal ions

If 50% of a radioactive element remains after 4000 years, what is the half-life?

ANTONII [103]

Hey there!

A half-life means after a certain amount of time, half of that substance will be gone/changed after that time.

If 50%, or half, of the element remains after 4000 years, that means the half life must be 4000 years.

Hope this helps!

Purification of copper can be achieved by electrorefining copper from an impure copper anode onto a pure copper cathode in an el

givi [52]

Answer: The amount of time needed to plate 14.0 kg of copper onto the cathode is 295 hours

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of electron = 1 mole

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an atom contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles.

We know that:

Charge on 1 electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

Charge on 1 mole of electrons = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=96500C$

$Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu$

$2\times 96500=193000C$ is passed to deposit = 1 mole of copper

63.5 g of copper is deposited by = 193000 C

$14\times 1000g=14000g$ of copper is deposited by = $\frac{193000}{63.5}\times 14000=42551181 C$

To calculate the time required, we use the equation:

$I=\frac{q}{t}$

where,

I = current passed = 40.0 A

q = total charge = 42551181 C

t = time required = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$40.0=\frac{42551181 C}{t}\\\\t=1063779sec$

Converting this into hours, we use the conversion factor:

1 hr = 3600 seconds

So, $1063779s\times \frac{1hr}{3600s}=295hr$

Hence, the amount of time needed to plate 14.0 kg of copper onto the cathode is 295 hours

Which of the following statements concerning equilibrium constants is true? The equilibrium constant of the reverse reaction is

Brut [27]

Answer:

When the coefficients in a balanced chemical reaction are multiplied by two, the equilibrium constant is not affected.

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant of a reaction is known to remain steady.

Even if all the coefficients of all the species in the reaction are multiplied by two, the value of the equilibrium constant will reamin the same because the equilibrium position will not change as a result of that.

When a bottle of soft drink is shaken violently, CO2 gas escapes from solution and

jeka94

Answer:

The pressure decrease with the passage of time due to again dissolution of carbon-dioxide gas in the liquid solution.

Explanation:

In soft drinks, the carbon-dioxide gas is added in the drinks with high pressure because carbon-dioxide is a gas which is insoluble in soft drink at room temperature but soluble in the drinks at high pressure so when the pressure is removed from the soft drink, the carbon-dioxide gas releases in the air with the passage of time. But in close bottle , there is no place of escape so it again dissolve in the solution.
