Answer:Transition metals

Explanation: Elements that are metals tend to lose electrons and become positively charged ions called cations. Elements that are nonmetals tend to gain electrons and become negatively charged ions called anions. Metals that are located in column 1A of the periodic table form ions by losing one electron.

A 35.0 ml sample of 0.225 m hbr was titrated with 42.3 ml of koh. What is the concentration of the koh?

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The concentration of KOH is 0.186 M

Explanation:

First things first, we need too write out the balanced equation between HBr and KOH.

This is given as;

KOH (aq) + HBr (aq) → KBr (aq) + H2O (l)

From the reaction above, we can tell that it takes 1 mole of KOH to react with 1 mole of HBr.

We use the acid base formular in calculating unknown concentrations. This is given as;

$\frac{CaVa}{CbVb} = \frac{na}{nb}$

where;

Ca = Concentration of acid

Va = Volume of acid

Cb = Concentration of base

Vb = Volume of base

na = Number of moles of acid

nb = Number of moles of base

KOH is the base and HBr is acid.

Hence;

Ca = 0.225

Va = 35

Cb = ?

Vb = 42.3

na = 1

nb = 1

Making Cb subject of formular we have;

$Cb = \frac{CaVaNb}{VbNa}$

Cb = (0.225 * 35 * 1) / (42.3 * 1)

Cb = 0.186 M

The labels have fallen off three bottles containing powdered samples of metals; one contains zinc, one lead, and the other plati

Alinara [238K]

Here we have to identify the metal powder by the given disposal.

The identification of Zinc can be done by 1 m nitric acid (HNO₃) and Ni(NO₃)₂ which will produce hydrogen gas by reaction and displacement reaction as shown below.

Zn + 2 HNO₃ = Zn(NO₃)₂ + H₂ (g)

Zn + Ni(NO₃)₂ = Zn(NO₃)₂ + Ni

The identification of lead can be done by the reaction with 1 m nitric acid (HNO₃) which produces lead nitrate.

The reaction is-

Pb + 4HNO₃ = Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2NO₂ + 2H₂O

The identification of platinum can be done by the reaction with all the given disposal as it will not react with any of the compound.

1. Identification of Zinc (Zn):

(a) Zn metal will not react with sodium nitrate (NaNO₃) as sodium remains at the lower position of the activity series than zinc.

Zn + NaNO₃ = No reaction

(b) Zn metal will react with 1 m HNO₃ to form hydrogen gas. The reaction is:

Zn + 2 HNO₃ = Zn(NO₃)₂ + H₂ (g)

(c) Zn will react with nickel nitrate [Ni(NO₃)₂] because it may only cause displacement reaction the reduction potential of Zn²⁺/Zn (-0.76) is less than that of Ni²⁺/Ni (-0.23). Thus the reaction will be:

Zn + Ni(NO₃)₂ = Zn(NO₃)₂ + Ni

2. Identification of lead (Pb):

(a) Pb metal will not react with sodium nitrate (NaNO₃) as sodium remains at the lower position of the activity series than Pb.

Pb + NaNO₃ = No reaction

(b) Pb reacts with HNO₃ to form lead nitrate. The reaction is:

Pb + 4HNO₃ = Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2NO₂ + 2H₂O

(c) The standard reduction potential of Pb²⁺/Pb is more than nickel Ni²⁺/Ni thus there will be no reaction between Pb and NI(NO₃)₂.

Pb + Ni(NO₃)₂ = No reaction.

3. Identification of platinum (Pt)

(a) Pt metal will not react with sodium nitrate (NaNO₃) as sodium remains at the lower position of the activity series than Pt.

Pt + NaNO₃ = No reaction.

(b) The standard reduction potential of Pt²⁺/Pt is so high (+1.188) thus there will be no reaction with HNO₃.

Pt + HNO₃ = No reaction

(c) The standard reduction potential of Pt²⁺/Pt is more than nickel Ni²⁺/Ni thus there will be no reaction between Pt and Ni(NO₃)₂.

Pt + Ni(NO₃)₂ = No reaction.

Calculate the mass in grams for each of the following liquids.

WITCHER [35]

The density is calculated as mass per volume, so if we want to solve for mass, we would multiply density by volume.
For Part A: if we have a density of 0.69 g/mL, and a volume of 280 mL, multiplying these will give a mass of: (0.69 g/mL)(280 mL) = 193.2 g. Rounded to 2 significant figures, this is 190 g gasoline.
For Part B: if we have a density of 0.79 g/mL, and a volume of 190 mL, multiplying these will give a mass of: (0.79 g/mL)(190 mL) = 150.1 g. Rounded to 2 significant figures, this is equal to 150 g ethanol.

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Zn2+, Ni4+, F-

hram777 [196]

Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.

A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).

To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.

First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written between $Zn^{2+} (Positive ion)and F^{-} (Negative ion)$

First Formula would be $ZnF_{2}$

Second empirical formula is between $Zn^{2+}(Positive ion) and O^{2-}(Negative ion)$

Second Formula would be $Zn_{2}O_{2}$

Note : When the subscript are same they get cancel out, so $Zn_{2}O_{2}$ would be written as $ZnO$

Third empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion) and F^{-}(Negative ion)$

Third Formula would be : $NiF_{4}$

Forth empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion)and O^{2-}(negative ion)$

Forth Formula would be : $Ni_{2}O_{4}$ or $NiO_{2}$

Note- The subscript will be simplified and the formula will be written as $NiO_{2}$ .

The empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds are : $ZnF_{2}, ZnO, NiF_{4},NiO_{2}$
