Pure metals possess few important physical and metallic properties, such as melting point, boiling point, density, specific gravity, high malleability, ductility, and heat and electrical conductivity. These properties can be modified and enhanced by alloying it with some other metal or nonmetal, according to the need.
Alloys are made to:
Enhance the hardness of a metal: An alloy is harder than its components. Pure metals are generally soft. The hardness of a metal can be enhanced by alloying it with another metal or nonmetal.
Lower the melting point: Pure metals have a high melting point. The melting point lowers when pure metals are alloyed with other metals or nonmetals. This makes the metals easily fusible. This property is utilized to make useful alloys called solders.
Enhance tensile strength: Alloy formation increases the tensile strength of the parent metal.
Enhance corrosion resistance: Alloys are more resistant to corrosion than pure metals. Metals in pure form are chemically reactive and can be easily corroded by the surrounding atmospheric gases and moisture. Alloying a metal increases the inertness of the metal, which, in turn, increases corrosion resistance.
Modify color: The color of pure metal can be modified by alloying it with other metals or nonmetals containing suitable color pigments.
Provide better castability: One of the most essential requirements of getting good castings is the expansion of the metal on solidification. Pure molten metals undergo contraction on solidification. Metals need to be alloyed to obtain good castings because alloys
Answer:
(<em>i) Concentrated HNO3 can be stored and transported in aluminium containers as it reacts with aluminium to form a thin protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface. This oxide layer renders aluminium passive. (ii) Sodium hydroxide and aluminium react to form sodium tetrahydroxoaluminate(III) and hydrogen gas.</em>
The butane is a kind of alkane. And there is only carbon and hydrogen and single bonds. The formula of butane is C4H10. There are four carbon atoms and ten hydrogen atoms present in one butane molecule.
Answer:
10
Explanation:
pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.
Thus,
pH = - log [H⁺]
Thus, from the formula, more the concentration of the hydrogen ions or more the acidic the solution is, the less is the pH value of the solution.
Thus, solution with pH = 3 will be more acidic than solution with pH =4
Thus, concentration of the [H⁺] when pH =3
3 = - log [H⁺]
[H⁺] = 10⁻³ M
For pH = 4, [H⁺] = 10⁻⁴ M
<u>hence, pH = 3 is 10 times more acidic than pH = 4</u>
Aye i can’t see the full question dawg, you gotta send a full picture of it
