What observations will you look for to determine if a metal undergoes reaction?

1 answer:

8 0

When a metal undergoes a reaction, especially with a nonmetal, you should look for the formation of salts or the formation of precipitates in the case the product is not soluble to water. Metals loses electrons to form positive ions which then reacts to nonmetals that are negatively charged ions.

Answer:

METAL: found in periodic table, lithium, shiny, lose electrons easily, good conductor, elements

NONMETAL: brittle, ductile, semimetals, found in periodic table, often gain electrons, semiconductors, carbon, shiny, poor conductor, elements

METALLOID: solid, non- ductile, malleable, found in periodic table, silicon, shiny, can be liquids, elements

An ionic solid is placed in water. which information is described by the solubility product constant?

Illusion [34]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{C. the equilibrium between the solid and its ions in solution}}$

Explanation:

$\rm MX(s) $\, \rightleftharpoons \,$ M$^{+}$(aq) + $^{-}$(aq); $K_{\text{sp}}$ = [M$^{+}$][X$^{-}$]\\\\\text{$K_{\text{sp}}$ gives us information on}\\\\\boxed{\textbf{ the equilibrium between the solid and its ions in solution}}$

It tells us nothing about the amount of precipitate that will form or the temperature at which the equilibrium occurs.

The following information is given for benzene, C6H6, at 1atm: boiling point = 80.1 °C Hvap(80.1 °C) = 30.7 kJ/mol specific heat

user100 [1]

Answer: The heat required for the process is 4.24 kJ

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of benzene = 24.8 g

Molar mass of benzene = 78.11 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of benzene}=\frac{24.8g}{78.11g/mol}=0.318mol$

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$q$ = amount of heat absorbed = ?

n = number of moles = 0.318 moles

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ = enthalpy change of the reaction = 30.7 kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$30.7kJ/mol=\frac{q}{0.318mol}\\\\q=(30.7kJ/mol\times 0.318mol)=4.24kJ$

Hence, the heat required for the process is 4.24 kJ

What is extrapolation?

bixtya [17]

Answer:

A. Predicting data that fall beyond a known data point

Explanation:

Extrapolating is unreliable because you are predicting data outside of the data range - anything could happen for the data to stop following the trend or pattern

2. A block of aluminum with a mass of 140g is cooled from 98.4oC to 62.2oC with a release of 1137J of heat. From these data, cal

NeTakaya

Q = M * C *ΔT

Q / ΔT = M

Δf - Δi = 98.4ºC - 62.2ºC = 36.2ºC

C = 1137 J / 140 * 36.2

C = 1137 / 5068

C = 0.224 J/gºC
