Other than lowering the cost of producing coins, what could be another added benefit of changing the metals used to make coins?(

hint: think of the density...why would a metal that is less dense be beneficial?)
Chemistry

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A coin is money made from metal stuff. Common coinage metals are copper, silver, nickel etc.

One consideration in coin production is the density of the coin. A coin of less density will have lesser mass and occupy a lesser volume. This makes it easier to carry the coin around.

Coins should therefore be made of low density metals so that they can easily be carried about.

A hot lump of 30.5 g of iron at an initial temperature of 52.7 °C is placed in 50.0 mL H2O initially at 25.0 °C and allowed to r
slava [35]

Answer:

26.7°C

Explanation:

Using the formula; Q = m × c × ΔT

Where; Q = amount of heat

m = mass

c = specific heat

ΔT = change in temperature

In this question involving iron placed into water, the Qwater = Qiron

For water; m= 50g, c = 4.18 J/g°C, Initial temp= 25°C, final temp=?

For iron; m = 30.5g, c = 0.449J/g°C, Initial temp= 52.7°C, final temp=?

Qwater = -(Qiron)

m × c × ΔT (water) =- {m × c × ΔT (iron)}

50 × 4.18 × (T - 25) = - {30.5 × 0.449 × (T - 52.7)}

209 (T - 25) = - {13.6945 (T - 52.7)}

209T - 5225 = -13.6945T + 721.7

209T + 13.6945T = 5225 + 721.7

222.6945T = 5946.7

T = 5946.7/222.6945

T = 26.7

Hence, the final temperature of water and iron is 26.7°C

A chunk of copper has a volume of 1.45 mL and a mass of 12.93 grams. What is the density of the chunk of copper?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Density = 8.92 \ g/mL

Explanation:

The equation for density is:

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

We plug in the given values:

Density = \frac{12.93 \ g}{1.45 \ mL}

Density = 8.92 \ g/mL

In which set do all elements tend to form anions in binary ionic compounds? li, na, k n, o, i c, s, pb k, fe, br?
pav-90 [236]

Atoms or molecule after gaining of electron possesses negative charge and is known as anion.

For the given sets:

  • Li, Na, K

The given elements are alkali metals and have tendency to lose electrons easily and form cations.

  • N, O, I

The given elements are non-metals and are electronegative. So, they gain electrons easily and form anion.

  • C, S, Pb

Carbon has tendency to form bond by sharing of electrons, Sulfur has tendency to gain electrons and form anion whereas Lead has tendency to lose electron.

  • K, Fe, Br

Potassium and Iron has tendency to lose electron and form cation whereas Bromine has tendency to gain electron to form anion.

Hence, from the given sets, all elements of set: N, O, I have tendency to form anions in binary ionic compounds.

Which of the following is not a reason why actual yield is less than theoretical yield?
Gnom [1K]
Your answer is B, conservation of mass


Recall that percent yield is given by: %Yeild = actual yeild/theoretical yeild x100

During experiments, there are errors made:

• uncertainty in measurements

• losses of reactants and products

• impurity in reactants

• losses during separation (e.g. filtration or purification)

• Some side reactions might also happen.



Among the given options, only conservation of mass does not contribute to a lower actual yield compared to the theoretical yield.

What is the complete ionic equation for NaOHaq plus HCIaq equals H2OI plus NaCIaq?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Ionic equation:

Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + NaCl (aq)

Balanced chemical equation:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + NaCl (aq)

Ionic equation:

Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)    →  H₂O(l)

The  Cl⁻(aq)  and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The water can not be splitted into ions because it is present in liquid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.
