As the metal rusts it expands increasing its mass therefore increasing the weight.

Because the rusty nail had the combined mass of the original nail along with oxidized substances. since your adding something that exists to the  mass your mass will be greater.

How is impure copper refined by electrolysis
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

By giving electricity to copper compound solution.

Explanation:

Electrolysis is one of the major way of refined copper. The copper containing solution has two electrodes.i) positive electrodes called anode. ii) negative electrodes called cathode. When electricity is pass into the copper containing solution electrolysis process is starts and impure copper is formed in anode and pure copper is formed in cathode.

So, We can get pure copper in cathode through electrolysis.

I Hope this will be helpful for you.

How many moles of water are produced when 3.45 moles of KMnO4 react? Give your answer to the nearest 0.1 moles. moles H2O
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

13.8 moles of water produced.

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of KMnO₄ = 3.45 mol

Moles of water = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

16HCl + 2KMnO₄ → 2KCl + 2MnCl₂ + 5Cl₂ + 8H₂O

Moler ratio of water and KMnO₄:

             KMnO₄       :        H₂O

                2             :          8

               3.45         :         8/2×3.45 = 13.8 mol

Hence, 3.45 moles of KMnO₄ will produced 13.8 mol of water.

HELP.....From the information presented in the activity series of metals below (4 metals included), answer the following questio
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

a)there would be no reaction

Explanation:

The activity series of metals has many functions. The one applicable to this problem is that it can be used to determine whether a reaction will occur or not. Also, based on the positions of metals in the series, we can know how reactive a metal is compared to another.

In a single displacement reaction, a metal replaces another metal based on their position on the activity series. Metals that are higher in the series are generally more reactive than others below them and so will displace them.

 

Would aluminum replace magnesium to form a new compound or would there be no reaction?

Magnesium is higher than aluminum in the activity series. Therefore it is more reactive than aluminum. No reaction will occur.

Calculate the percentage by mass of oxygen in trioxonitrate (v) acid, (HNO3). [ H=1, N=14, O=16]​
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Percentage by mass of oxygen = 76.20% (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

HNO3

H=1, N=14, O=16]

Find:

Percentage by mass of oxygen

Computation:

HNO3

Total mass = 1 + 14 + 3(16)

Total mass = 63

Mass of oxygen = (3)(16) = 48

Percentage by mass of oxygen = [48/63]100

Percentage by mass of oxygen = 76.20% (Approx)
