Answer the following questions in brief.Why does silver get tarnished on exposure to air?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Studentka2010 [4]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: When silver is exposed to sulfur-containing gases in the air, it discolours and then darkens as it reacts with the gas to form a surface layer of tarnish. This process is called tarnishing.

Hope this helped :)

Look at sample problem 18.15 in the 8th ed Silberberg book. Identify the Lewis acids and Lewis bases in the following reactions:
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1. H+ + OH- <--------> H2O

H+ is a Lewis acid

OH- is a Lewis base

2. Cl- + BCl3 <---------> BCl4-

Cl- is a Lewis base

BCl3 is a Lewis acid

3. K+ + 6H2O <------> K(H2O)6+

K+ is a Lewis acid

H2O is a Lewis base

Explanation:

By definition, Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor while a Lewis base is an electron pair donor.

Potassium ion accept electron pairs from 6 water molecules which donate the electron pairs.

Why have some chemicals been banned from usage in agriculture/food production
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

okay so to tell the story short:

Explanation:

over the years farmers in agriculture businesses have decide to use safer chemicals. because since people have been getting food poisoning and been getting sick. but now farmer businesses now use some chemicals that have very low toxicity. When pesticides were first introduced, farmers were using chemicals that were very toxic. but then that's when they realised that the they had to be removed from the application and today they have been replaced with better and healthier ones just like (glyphosate.)

Copper oxide, CuO, reacts with hydrochloric acid, HCI, to produce copper chloride, CuCL2 and water
spayn [35]

Explanation:

El óxido de cobre (II), también llamado antiguamente óxido cúprico ({\displaystyle {\ce {CuO}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO}}}), es el óxido de cobre con mayor número de oxidación. Como mineral se conoce como tenorita.

{\displaystyle {\ce {2Cu + O2 = 2CuO}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {2Cu + O2 = 2CuO}}}

Aquí, se forma junto con algo de óxido de cobre (I) como un producto lateral, por lo que es mejor prepararlo por calentamiento de nitrato de cobre (II), hidróxido de cobre (II) o carbonato de cobre (II):

{\displaystyle {\ce {2 Cu(NO3)2 = 2 CuO + 4 NO2+ O2}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {2 Cu(NO3)2 = 2 CuO + 4 NO2+ O2}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {Cu(OH)2 (s) = CuO (s) + H2O (l)}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {Cu(OH)2 (s) = CuO (s) + H2O (l)}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuCO3 = CuO + CO2}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuCO3 = CuO + CO2}}}

El óxido de cobre (II) es un óxido básico, así se disuelve en ácidos minerales tales como el ácido clorhídrico, el ácido sulfúrico o el ácido nítrico para dar las correspondientes sales de cobre (II):

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + H2O}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HCl =CuCl2 + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HCl =CuCl2 + H2O}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2SO4 = CuSO4 + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2SO4 = CuSO4 + H2O}}}

Reacciona con álcali concentrado para formar las correspondientes sales cuprato.

{\displaystyle {\ce {3 XOH + CuO + H2O = X3[Cu(OH)6]}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {3 XOH + CuO + H2O = X3[Cu(OH)6]}}}

Puede reducirse a cobre metálico usando hidrógeno o monóxido de carbono:

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2 = Cu + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2 = Cu + H2O}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + CO = Cu + CO2}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + CO = Cu + CO2}}}

Dmitri mendeleev contribution to the periodic table.
Pepsi [2]

In 1871, a Russian Chemist, Dimitri Mendeleev, gave a useful scheme for classification of elements. He presented the first regular periodic table in which elements of similar chemical properties were arranged in eight vertical columns called groups. The horizontal rows of table were called periods. He arranged elements in ascending order of their  atomic masses and found that elements having similar chemical properties appeared at regular intervals. This observation was called Periodic Law.

What is the value of the equilibrium constant for this redox reaction?
aivan3 [116]
Correct  answer: Option D, <span>K = 5.04 × 10^52
</span>
Reason:
We know that, 
Ecell = \frac{0.0592}{n}log(K),
where n = number of electrons = 2 (in present case)
K = equilibrium constant.

Also, Ecell = <span>+1.56 v

Therefore, 1.56 = </span>\frac{0.0592}{2}log(K)
Therefore, log (K) = 52.703
Therefore,  K = 5.04 X 10^52
