Gold can be separated from sand by panning or by a sluice-box. In panning, water is mixed with the sand and the resulting slurry

is swirled in a shallow, saucer-shaped metal pan. In the sluice-box technique, running water is passed over an agitated sand- gold mixture. What physical property and what technique make this separation possible?

Answer:

<u><em>Decantation</em></u><em> by means of difference in relative densities.</em>

Explanation:

The specific gravity (relative density) of the gold to the soil/sand is the physical property exploited in panning gold. The particles with lower density would float whilst the heavier gold sinks lower to the bottom of the pan by gravity and is decanted off.

I hope this explanation is easy to comprehend.

What is the concentration of h+ ions in a 2.20 m solution of hno3?
kvv77 [185]

The question is improperly formatted.

What is the concentration of H+ ions in a 2.2 M solution of HNO3.

Answer:-

2.2 moles of H+ per litre

Explanation:-

M stands for molarity. 2.2 M means 2.2 moles of HNO3 is present per litre of the solution.

Now HNO3 has just 1 H in it's formula. HNO3 would give H+. So 2.2 moles of HNO3 would mean 2.2 moles of H+ per litre.

3. In an experiment it was found that 40.0cm of 0.2M sodium hydroxide solution just neutralized 0.2g
hjlf

The relative molecular mass of acid A : 50 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

40.0 cm³(40 ml) of 0.2M sodium hydroxide

0.2g  of a dibasic acid

Required

the relative molecular mass of acid A

Solution

Titration formula

M₁V₁n₁=M₂V₂n₂

n=acid/base valence(number of H⁺/OH⁻)

NaOH ⇒ n = 1

Dibasic acid =  diprotic acid (such as H₂SO₄)⇒ n = 2

mol = M x V

Input the value in the formula :(1 = NaOH, 2=dibasic acid)

0.2 x 40 x 1 = M₂ x V₂ x 2

M₂ x V₂ = 4 mlmol = 4.10⁻³ mol ⇒ mol of Acid A

The relative molecular mass of acid A (M) :

\tt M_A=\dfrac{mass }{mol}=\dfrac{0.2~g}{4.10^{-3}}=50~g/mol
