Copper and aluminium wire are used to carry electric current. Copper, aluminium and iron are used to make domestic utensils and factory equipment. Thin foils of aluminium are used for wrapping cigarettes, medicines, confectionery, etc. Aluminium is used for making angles, doors, pipes, etc. which are used in the construction of houses. Metals such as sodium, titanium, zirconium, etc. are used in generation of nuclear energy and in space science projects. Mercury is used in thermometers. Magnesium metal is used as a strong reducing agent to prepare other metals. Gold and silver metals are used to make jewellery. Thin foils of silver and gold are used to decorate sweets. Uranium metal is used to generate nuclear energy. Titanium metal is very hard, resistant to corrosion, light, has high melting point and is good conductor of heat and electricity. Because of its unique and useful properties titanium is sometimes called ‘the wonder metal’.

Write the word and balanced chemical equations for the reaction between:
nadezda [96]

Answer:

3 HNO₃ + Fe(OH)₃ → H₂O + Fe(NO₃)₃

Explanation:

An acid reacts with a base producing water and a salt. Having this in mind the reaction of nitric acid (HNO₃) and Iron (III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)₃) is:

HNO₃ + Fe(OH)₃ → H₂O + Fe(NO₃)₃

<em>The H⁺ of the acid reacts with the OH⁻ to produce H₂O. The other ions (Fe³⁺ and NO₃⁻) produce the salt</em>

<em />

There are 3 nitrates in products. To balance the nitrates:

<h3>3 HNO₃ + Fe(OH)₃ → H₂O + Fe(NO₃)₃</h3>

<em>And this is the balanced reaction</em>

Your calculated density of aluminum is d = 2.69 g/cm3. Aluminum’s accepted density is 2.70 g/cm3. Without writing the "%" sign,
stepan [7]

Answer:

0.37 %

Explanation:

Given that:

Calculated density of aluminum = 2.69 g/cm³

Accepted density of aluminum = 2.70 g/cm³

Error\ percentage=\frac {|Accepted\ value-Calculated\ value|}{Accepted\ value}\times 100

Thus, applying values as:

Error\ percentage=\frac {|2.70-2.69|}{2.70}\times 100

<u>Percent error = 0.37 %</u>

A 51.9g sample of iron, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.449·J·g?1°C?1, is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) t
Ghella [55]

Answer:

the initial temperature of the iron sample is Ti = 90,36 °C

Explanation:

Assuming the calorimeter has no heat loss to the surroundings:

Q w + Q iron = 0

Also when the T stops changing means an equilibrium has been reached and therefore, in that moment, the temperature of the water is the same that the iron ( final temperature of water= final temperature of iron = T )  

Assuming Q= m*c*( T- Tir)  

mc*cc*(T-Tc)+mir*cir*(T - Tir) = 0

 Tir = 20.3 °C + 300 g * 4.186 J/g°C * (20.3 C - 19 °C) / ( 51.9 g * 0.449 J/g°C )

 Tir = 90.36 °C

Note :

- The specific heat capacity of water is assumed 1 cal/g°C = 4.186 J/g°C  

- We assume no reaction between iron and water

A 0.271g sample of an unknown vapor occupies 294ml at 140C and 874mmHg. The emperical formula of the compound is CH2. How many m
Phoenix [80]
Using PV = nRT, we can calculate the moles of the sample.
874 mmHg = 116,524 Pa
n = PV/RT
n = 116,524 x 294 x 10⁻⁶ / 8.314 x (140 + 273)
n = 9.98 x 10⁻³ mol

moles = mass / Mr
Mr = 0.271/9.98 x 10⁻³
Mr = 27.2
Mass of empirical formula = 14
Repeat units = 27.2 / 14 ≈ 2

Formula of substance:
C₂H₄

Combustion equation:
C₂H₄ + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 2H₂O

1 mole produces 2 moles of CO₂, so 3 moles will produce 6 moles CO₂
