MaRussiya [10]4 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.

What volume of 0.120 M HNO3(aq) is needed to completely neutralize 150.0 milliliters of 0.100 M NaOH(aq)?
True [87]
HNO3 is a strong acid and NaOH is a
strong base. An equal number of moles of
each will create a neutral solution.
(.1500L)(.100M NaOH) = .01500 moles
NaOH, and therefore .015 moles OH-
.01500 moles H+ = .01500 moles HNO3 =
(.120M HNO3)(volume HNO3)
volume HNO3 = .125L HNO3, or 125mL
HNO3
