Which reason best explains why metals are ductile instead of brittle?

Chemistry
1 answer:
MaRussiya [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: -

Metals are ductile instead of brittle because they have flexible bonds.

Explanation: -

Metals have a property called ductility.

It is the ability of a metal to be drawn into wires.

Metals due to greater bond flexibility are more ductile.

The most ductile metal known to man is Gold. Metallic wires find many applications in modern machinery particularly.

Usually ductility and malleability go together.

When 21.45 g of KNO3 was dissolved in water in a calorimeter, the temperature fell from 25.00°C to 14.14 °C. If the heat capacit

25.9 kJ/mol. (3 sig. fig. as in the heat capacity.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The process:

\text{KNO}_3\;(s) \to \text{KNO}_3\;(aq).

How many moles of this process?

Relative atomic mass from a modern periodic table:

  • K: 39.098;
  • N: 14.007;
  • O: 15.999.

Molar mass of \text{KNO}_3:

M(\text{KNO}_3) = 39.098 + 14.007 + 3\times 15.999 = 101.102\;\text{g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}.

Number of moles of the process = Number of moles of \text{KNO}_3 dissolved:

\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{21.45}{101.102} = 0.212162\;\text{mol}.

What's the enthalpy change of this process?

Q = C\cdot \Delta T = 0.505 \times (25.00 - 14.14) = 5.4843\;\text{kJ} for 0.212162\;\text{mol}. By convention, the enthalpy change \Delta H measures the energy change for each mole of a process.

\displaystyle \Delta H = \frac{Q}{n} = \frac{5.4843\text{kJ}}{0.212162\;\text{mol}} = 25.8\;\text{kJ}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}.

The heat capacity is the least accurate number in these calculation. It comes with three significant figures. As a result, round the final result to three significant figures. However, make sure you keep at least one additional figure to minimize the risk of rounding errors during the calculation.

What is the significance of "Er" in the diagram?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The significance of "Er" in the diagram is :

B.) Threshold energy for reaction

Explanation:

Threshold energy : It is total amount of energy required by the reactant molecule to reach the transition state .

Activation energy : It is the excess energy absorbed by the molecules to reach the transition state.

<u>Activation Energy = Threshold Energy - Average Kinetic Energy</u>

<u>This means Activation energy decreases on increasing kinetic energy</u>

On increasing Temperature average kinetic energy of the molecule increases which reduces the activation energy and the reaction occur faster in that case.

Catalyst also reduces the Activation energy.

<u>Er = Threshshold energy for reaction at 30 degree</u>

<u>Ea = Activation Energy</u>

<u>The given figure shows that the threshold energy decreases on increasing the temperature</u>

<u>Only the molecule having energy greater than Er can react to form product</u>

A 4.86-gram sample of calcium reacted completely with oxygen to form 6.80 grams of calcium oxide. This reaction is represented b
sesenic [268]
The number of mole of Ca reacted is:
4.86 g Ca/ (40.08 g/mol Ca)= 0.121 mol Ca

Because Ca reacted completely with oxygen and there is 2 mol Ca, there is 1 mol O2 reacted.

Total mass of oxygen that reacted is:
0.121 mol Ca* (1mol O2/ 2 mol Ca)* (32 g O2/ 1 mol O2)= 1.94 g O2 reacted.

Hope this would help~
