Nails are made of iron but not barium and phosphorus

because actually barium and phosphorous are not strong as iron . Barium is very weak to be used in nail and phosphorous also can be break easily. But iron is stronger than these both and also its strength and weight are sufficient to be used in a nail so nails are made of iron but not barium and phosphorus.

Due to the high strength of iron compared to that of barium and phosphorus the nails are made of iron.

Though iron oxidizes to form rust on reacting with water but it does not explode. Whereas barium reacts vigorously with water with evolution of hydrogen gas. Barium on reacting with other nonmetals results in the formation of poisonous substances. Phosphorus is never found in its pure form in nature and is combustible.

Hence, nails are made up of iron but barium and phosphorus are not suitable for making of nails.

The reactants in a chemical equation have 3 carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms, and 4 hydrogen atoms. In order to follow the conservat
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The same amount of atoms (3 carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms, and 4 hydrogen atoms).

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, when a chemical reaction takes place there is no synthesis or degradation of matter, that is, <em>matter can be neither created nor destroyed</em>. It can only be transformed.

Therefore, in a <u>chemical reaction the atoms are conserved</u>. That means that the elements that in definite proportions are forming a compound, will reorganize to form new compounds, and <u>the amount and type of atoms of the products will be the same as the reactants</u>.

In summary, if the reactants in a chemical equation have 3 carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms, and 4 hydrogen atoms, the products of the chemical equation will have 3 carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms, and 4 hydrogen atoms as well.

if an unknown sample solution is prepared by diluting 10.00 ml of the original solution to a total volume of 100.0 ml with deion
Usimov [2.4K]

The dilution factor of the unknown sample is 10. The dilution factor of a solution refers to the ratio of the final volume of the now diluted solution to the initial volume of the of the initial concentrated solution.

Mathematically;

The dilution factor is given by the formula;

Dilution factor = Final volume of the now diluted solution/ Initial volume of more concentrated solution

Final volume of the now diluted solution = 100.0 ml

Initial volume of more concentrated solution = 10.00 ml

Dilution factor = 100.0 ml/10.00 ml

Dilution factor =  10

A sample of an unknown metal has a mass of 22.4g. A graduated cylinder contains 3.2 ml of water. After the metal sample is added
Goshia [24]

Answer:

d = 14.9 g/mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of metal = 22.4 g

Volume of eater = 3.2 mL

Volume of water + metal = 4.7 mL

Density of metal = ?

Solution:

Volume of metal:

Volume of metal = volume of water+ metal - volume of water

Volume of metal = 4.7 mL - 3.2 mL

Volume of metal = 1.5 mL

Density of metal:

d = m/v

d = density

m = mass

v = volume

d = 22.4 g/ 1.5 mL

d = 14.9 g/mL
