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.

Answer:

b. 2.28 M

Explanation:

The reaction of neutralization of NaOH with H2SO4 is:

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Where 2 moles of NaOH react per mole of H2SO4

To solve the concentration of NaOH we need to find the moles of H2SO4. Using the chemical equation we can find the moles of NaOH that react and with the volume the molar concentration as follows:

Moles H2SO4:

45.7mL = 0.0457L * (0.500mol/L) = 0.02285 moles H2SO4

Moles NaOH:

0.02285 moles H2SO4 * (2moles NaOH / 1 mol H2SO4) = 0.0457moles NaOH

Molarity NaOH:

0.0457moles NaOH / 0.020L =

2.28M
