The pH of pure water is neutral because the concentration of hydronium ions equals that of hydroxide ions.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Water is one of the most important constituents of living being. It is said that there is no life without water. So that water need to neutral in nature to save life. Pure water is composed of hydronium $H^{+}$ and hydroxide $\left(O H^{-}\right)$ ions. It is known that hydronium ions are acidic in nature with concentration of $1 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{L}$ .

Similarly, the hydroxide ions which are basic in nature will be in same concentration as that of hydronium ions. So, as the concentration of basic and acidic elements are equal with the same strength of pH, the combination of these ions lead to formation of pure water with the pH being neutral.

Aluminum metal and manganese (IV) oxide react to produce aluminum oxide and manganese metal. What mass of manganese (IV) oxide r

gayaneshka [121]

Answer: 1.77 kg of manganese (IV) oxide reacts to produce 1.12kg of manganese metal.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

$4Al+3MnO_2\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3+3Mn$

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}$

moles of manganese = $\frac{1.12\times 1000g}{55g/mol}=20.4mol$

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of $Mn$ is produced by = 3 moles of $MnO_2$

Thus 20.4 moles of $Mn$ is produced by = $\frac{3}{3}\times 20.4=20.4moles$ of $MnO_2$

Mass of $MnO_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=20.4moles\times 86.9g/mol=1773g=1.773kg$ (1kg=1000g)

Thus 1.77 kg of manganese (IV) oxide reacts to produce 1.12kg of manganese metal.

Which type of energy is stored in the nucleus of an atom?

Lapatulllka [165]

Nuclear energy is energy in the nucleus (core) of an atom. Atoms are tiny particles that make up every object in the universe. There is enormous energy in the bonds that hold atoms together. Nuclear energy can be used to make electricity.

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Box is made up of copper, because density is 8.96 g/cm³.

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of box = 17.63 cm³

Mass of box = 158 g

Which metal box is this = ?

Solution:

First we will calculate the density of box then we will compare it with the density value of given metals.

d = m/v

d = 158 g/ 17.63 cm³

d = 8.96 g/cm³

The calculated density is similar to the given density value of copper thus box is made up of copper.
