Electric current is the flow of electrons in a wire. ... They are no longer firmly held by a specific atom, but instead they can move freely through the lattice of positive metal ions

Metals are good conductors because the molecules that are inside the metal are tightly packed together. This is why the heat moves through the metal quickly.

Chlorine is used to disinfect swimming pools. the accepted concentration for this purpose is 1.00 ppm chlorine, or 1.00 g of chl
frez [133]

The accepted concentration of chlorine is 1.00 ppm that is 1 gram of chlorine per million of water.

The volume of water is 2.29\times 10^{4} gal.

Since, 1 gal= 3785.41 mL

Thus, 2.29\times 10^{4} gal=2.29\times 10^{4}\times 3785.41 mL=8.66\times 10^{7}mL

Density of water is 1 g/mL thus, mass of water will be 8.66\times 10^{7}g.

Since, 1 grams of chlorine →10^{6} grams of water.

1 g of water →10^{-6} g of chlorine and,

8.66\times 10^{7}g of water →86.6 g of chlorine

Since, the solution is 9% chlorine by mass, the volume of solution will be:

V=\frac{100}{9}\times 86.6 mL=9.62\times 10^{2} mL

Thus, volume of chlorine solution is 9.62\times 10^{2} mL.

Which substance is used to remove rust from metal
wel
<span>Chemically speaking, rust is a base and any acid will remove it. The choice of acid is going to be the thing to consider, since acid + base = salt and water. Phosphoric acid left a residue because the salt Iron phosphate is insoluble in water. Iron's soluble salts include the chloride, the sulfate and the nitrate. Industrially speaking, you need to "pickle" your iron. Pickling is a process in which dilute sulfuric acid is used to remove any surface corrosion prior to either painting or plating an iron surface. Sulfuric acid is ordinary battery acid and the salt Iron sulfate is not toxic. Sulfuric acid is one of the most common acids used (besides hydrochloric acid). The dilute kind is not terribly corrosive but concentrated sulfuric acid is a thick, syrupy liquid which can cause some nasty chemical burns if allowed to remain on the skin. It also heats up quite a lot when water is added, so this is an "Acid to water not water to acid" situation. The other choice is Hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid. The 20% concentrate is available in nearly any hardware store. It isn't as corrosive as concentrated sulfuric acid, but it has a burning, acrid stench, so never use the concentrate without adequate ventilation. It is ordinarily used to remove hard water deposits (boiler scale) but does a good on on rust as well. Concentrated Iron chloride isn't entirely inert but lots of rinsing will turn it back into harmless rust/sludge, especially if the rince water is naturally hard. Nitric acid will remove corrosion from anything, but it is extremely corrosive, smells worse then Hydrochloric acid and isn't easy to get, since it can be used to create some powerful explosives</span>

According to the law of conservation of mass, what should the product side of this single replacement reaction look like? A. H2
Katyanochek1 [597]

<u>Answer:</u> The product side must be ZnCl_2+H_2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its chemical reaction.

AB+C\rightarrow CB+A

Metal C is more reactive than metal A.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form. This also means that total number of individual atoms on reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

When zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid, it leads to the production of zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. The chemical reaction follows:

Zn+2HCl\rightarrow ZnCl_2+H_2

<u>On reactant side:</u>

Number of zinc atoms = 1

Number of hydrogen atoms = 2

Number of chlorine atoms = 2

<u>On product side:</u>

Number of zinc atoms = 1

Number of hydrogen atoms = 2

Number of chlorine atoms = 2

Hence, the product side must be ZnCl_2+H_2
