Answer:

polymerization

Explanation:

Student is explaining the process of formation of a polymer and the process is called polymerization.

Polymer is made up of joining repeating units. The repeating units are called monomers.  

Properties of the polymer is determined by the structure of monomer molecule.

For example, consider a well-known polymer Teflon.is made by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethane.  

Thus, the student is explaining polymerization.

How many moles are present in 54.8 mL of mercury if the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL?​
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

3.72 mol Hg

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Density = Mass over Volume

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

D = 13.6 g/mL

54.8 mL Hg

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of Hg - 200.59 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Find</u>

13.6 g/mL = x g / 54.8 mL

x = 745.28 g Hg

<u>Step 4: Convert</u>

<u />745.28 \ g \ Hg(\frac{1 \ mol \ Hg}{200.59 \ g \ Hg} ) = 3.71544 mol Hg

<u>Step 5: Check</u>

<em>We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

3.71544 mol Hg ≈ 3.72 mol Hg

Metals posses varying reduction potentials. Iron can reduce Cu+2 (aq) to copper metal. Silver can reduce Au+ (aq) to gold metal.
natta225 [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The true statement is iron can reduce Au^+(aq) to gold metal

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

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.

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.

We are given:

Iron can reduce copper, silver can reduce gold, sodium can reduce iron and copper can reduce silver metal.

The increasing order of reactivity thus follows:

Au

where, sodium is most reactive and gold is least reactive

For the given options:

<u>Option 1:</u>  Copper cannot easily reduce sodium ion to sodium metal because it is less reactive.

Cu(s)+Na^+(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}

<u>Option 2:</u>  Iron cant easily reduce gold ion to gold metal because it is more reactive.

Fe(s)+3Au^+(aq.)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq.)+3Au(s)

<u>Option 3:</u>  Silver cannot easily reduce iron ion to iron metal because it is less reactive.

Ag(s)+Fe^{3+}(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}

Hence, the true statement is iron can reduce Au^+(aq) to gold metal

Vanadium (II) oxide with Iron (III) oxide results in Vanadium (V) oxide and Iron (II) oxide. Balance this equation
evablogger [386]

Answer:

2VO + 3Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + 6FeO

Explanation:

The skeletal equation for the reaction is given below below:

VO + Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + FeO

We can balance the equation above by doing the following:

There are 2 atoms of V on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of VO as shown below:

2VO + Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + FeO

Now, we have a total of 5 atoms of O on the left and 6 atoms on the right side. We can balance it by putting 3 in front of Fe2O3 and 6 in front of FeO as shown below:

2VO + 3Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + 6FeO

Now, we can see that the equation is balanced
