Which of the following best explains why you sanded the copper wire before burning it? to create less friction between the coppe

r and the tongs to make sure that copper metal was exposed on the surface of the wire to make the copper wire flammable to weaken the copper wire so it would be more reactive

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.

Why is true about electron dot diagrams
vazorg [7]

Answer: The correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

We will analyze each of the options:

A. The group number of the element provides a clue to the number of valence electrons: it is correct, since it provides the number of valence electrons.

B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable: this is not correct, since elements with eight electrons in the valence shell cannot react because they already have the last complete shell. Therefore, they are chemically stable.

C. The points must be placed one at a time on each side of the chemical symbol: it is correct, because that is the way to make the point diagram.

D. An atom is chemically stable if all the points are paired: this is correct since this verifies that the point diagram has been done well.

We conclude that the correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.

Hope this helps.....  Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D

How many grams of sodium are in<br> 1.000 mole of sodium?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

How many atoms are in a 3.5 g sample of sodium (Na)? In this example, multiply the grams of Na by the conversion factor 1 mol Na/ 22.98 g Na, with 22.98g being the molar mass of one mole of Na, which then allows cancelation of grams, leaving moles of Na.

What is a good indicator for titrating potassium hydroxide with hydrobromic acid?
Cerrena [4.2K]
Potassium hydroxide is a strong base and hydrobromic acid is a strong acid. This implies that the pH of the end-point [neutralization] of their titration will be around pH 7. A good indicator for this kind of pH is bromthymol blue. This is because this indicator changes its colour at pH 7.
