1) A common experiment to determine the relative reactivity of metallic elements is to place a pure sample of one metal into an

aqueous solution of a compound of another metallic element. If the pure metal you are adding is more reactive than the metallic element in the compound, then the pure metal will replacethe metallic element in the compound. For example, if you place a piece of pure zinc metal into a solution of copper(II) sulfate, the zinc will slowly dissolve to produce zinc(II) sulfate solution, and the copper(II) ion of the copper(II) sulfate will be converted to metallic copper. Write the unbalanced equation for this process. (Include states-of-matter under the given conditions in your answer.)

Answer: Zn(s)+CuSO_4(aq)\rightarrow ZnSO_4+Cu

Explanation:-

Single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution.

As zinc is more reactive than copper, it could easily displace copper from its aqueous solution and thus leads to formation of zinc (II) sulfate and pure copper.

The chemical reaction can be represented as :

Zn(s)+CuSO_4(aq)\rightarrow ZnSO_4+Cu

The phases are represented as (s) for solid sate, (l) for liquid state, (g) for gaseous state and (aq) for aqueous state.

Answer:

Zn(s) + CuSO₄(aq) ⇄ ZnSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)

Explanation:

Metal zinc reacts with a solution of copper (II) sulfate to produce aqueous zinc sulfate and metallic copper. This is a displacement reaction according to the following molecular equation.

Zn(s) + CuSO₄(aq) ⇄ ZnSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)

Zinc is more reactive than copper, so that the latter is displaced from its salt. Since SO₄²⁻ is a spectator ion, we can write the net ionic equation as follows.

Zn(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) ⇄ Zn²⁺(aq) + Cu(s)

Choose ALL TRUE statements about calorimetry from the choices below:
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

True statment

2) Styrofoam would make a good calorimeter

3) Insulating material would make a good calorimeter

Explanation:

The calorimeter is one which is insulated that is which will not absorb or let the heat to escape from it. the calorimeter is used to measure the heat change during a process so if it will allow to exchange heat with surrounding it will deviate the readings or observence.

Copper is a good conductor of heat so we cannot use it make a calorimeter.

Hence

1) Copper would make a good calorimeter : False

2) Styrofoam would make a good calorimeter: True

Styrofoam is a bad conductor or insulator so it can be and it is used for calorimeter.

3) Insulating material would make a good calorimeter : True

4) A good calorimeter should easily absorb heat : false

The compound FeCl3 is made of...
notka56 [123]

The compound FeCl3  is made  of  one atom  and three  atoms  of chlorine


    <u><em>explanation</em></u>

  • FeCl3  is made up of two elements.
  • that is iron  with   Fe chemical symbol  and chlorine with Cl  chemical symbol.
  • There are 3  atoms of chlorine  in FeCl3   because the subscript in front of Cl in FeCl3  is 3.
