Why were iron tools more difficult to obtain than copper ones?

Chemistry

This is because iron is more reactive than copper in the metal reactivity series.

The metal reactivity series (descending order) :
Potassium, sodium, calcium, Magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, lead, copper, mercury, silver, platinum, gold

The more reactive an element is, the harder it is to extract it from their ore.

In order to extract iron from iron(ii) oxide, we must heat it with carbon, so that carbon can form carbon dioxide with oxygen, so that iron is extracted. On the other hand, we just need to hear copper oxide in the air in order to extract copper metal.

Because of the difference in extracting the metals, we can know that why iron tools are more difficult to obtain than the copper ones.

Indicate which solution in each pair has the lower pH. Your response should be a four letter "word". The first letter should be
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

bcfh

Explanation:

HClO₄ reacts with water thus:

HClO₄ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + ClO₄⁻

That means HClO₄ produce H₃O⁺ that decreases pH. That means the higher concentration of HClO₄ decreases pH. Thus, lower pH will be:

b) 0.2 M HClO4

The reaction of NaClO₄ is:

NaClO₄ + H₂O → OH⁻ + HClO₄ + Na⁺

The higher concentration of NaClO₄ the higher production of OH⁻ that increase pH, that means the lower concentration of NaClO₄ the lower pH, thus, the answer is:

<em>c) 0.1 M NaClO or</em>

HF reacts with water thus;

HF ⇄ H⁺ + F⁻

The equilibrium constant is:

k = [H⁺] [F⁻] / [HF] = 3,5x10⁻⁴

For HNO₂ equilibrium is:

HNO₂ ⇄ H⁺ + NO₂⁻

k = [H⁺] [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂] = 4,5x10⁻⁴

As k value is higher for HNO₂, the concentration of H⁺ will be higher in this system doing the HNO₂ with the lower pH.

f) 0.1 M HNO2

NaOH is a strong base that produce OH⁻ that increase pH, pure water is neutral, thus, the lowe pH is:

h) pure water

I hope it helps!
