The copper wire was sanded before burning in order to make sure that copper metal was exposed on the surface of the wire.

Answer: B

Explanation

The copper wire when placed in atmosphere without coating leads to oxidation of copper metal with respect to the impurities present in the atmosphere.

As copper is electropositive in nature, so electronegative ions present in the universe will try to react with copper and the copper will react easily with other elements.

So generally copper wire is coated with color or polymer coating.

In this case, the copper wire without any coating is sanded, so that the eddy sheets or polishing materials on friction with copper wire will remove the impurities by the electrostatic law of conservation of charges and charge transfer.

As the impurities are removed when copper wire is sanded, the copper atoms will be exposed on the surface of the wire leading to burning of copper in the copper wire.

If someone consumes 22 g of sodium chloride per day, what mass (in grams) of sodium does that person consume? Sodium chloride is
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Mass of sodium, the person daily consume = 8.58 g

Explanation:

Given that:-

sodium chloride is 39% sodium by mass which means that:-

100 g of sodium chloride contains 39 g of sodium

Also,

1 g of sodium chloride contains 0.39 g of sodium

So, Given mass = 22 g

22 g of sodium chloride contains 0.39\times 22 g of sodium

<u>Mass of sodium, the person daily consume = 8.58 g</u>
