The labels have fallen off three bottles containing powdered samples of metals; one contains zinc, one lead, and the other plati

num. you have three solutions at your disposal: 1 m sodium nitrate, 1 m nitric acid, and 1 m nickel nitrate. how could you use these solutions to determine the identities of each metal powder?

Here we have to identify the metal powder by the given disposal.

The identification of Zinc can be done by 1 m nitric acid (HNO₃) and Ni(NO₃)₂ which will produce hydrogen gas by reaction and displacement reaction as shown below.

Zn + 2 HNO₃ = Zn(NO₃)₂ + H₂ (g)

Zn + Ni(NO₃)₂ = Zn(NO₃)₂ + Ni

The identification of lead can be done by the reaction with 1 m nitric acid (HNO₃) which produces lead nitrate.

The reaction is-

Pb + 4HNO₃ = Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2NO₂ + 2H₂O

The identification of platinum can be done by the reaction with all the given disposal as it will not react with any of the compound.

1. Identification of Zinc (Zn):

(a) Zn metal will not react with sodium nitrate (NaNO₃) as sodium remains at the lower position of the activity series than zinc.

Zn + NaNO₃ = No reaction

(b) Zn metal will react with 1 m HNO₃ to form hydrogen gas. The reaction is:

Zn + 2 HNO₃ = Zn(NO₃)₂ + H₂ (g)

(c) Zn will react with nickel nitrate [Ni(NO₃)₂] because it may only cause displacement reaction the reduction potential of Zn²⁺/Zn (-0.76) is less than that of Ni²⁺/Ni (-0.23). Thus the reaction will be:

Zn + Ni(NO₃)₂ = Zn(NO₃)₂ + Ni

2. Identification of lead (Pb):

(a) Pb metal will not react with sodium nitrate (NaNO₃) as sodium remains at the lower position of the activity series than Pb.

Pb + NaNO₃ = No reaction

(b) Pb reacts with HNO₃ to form lead nitrate. The reaction is:

Pb + 4HNO₃ = Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2NO₂ + 2H₂O

(c) The standard reduction potential of Pb²⁺/Pb is more than nickel Ni²⁺/Ni thus there will be no reaction between Pb and NI(NO₃)₂.

Pb + Ni(NO₃)₂ = No reaction.

3. Identification of platinum (Pt)

(a) Pt metal will not react with sodium nitrate (NaNO₃) as sodium remains at the lower position of the activity series than Pt.

Pt + NaNO₃ = No reaction.

(b) The standard reduction potential of Pt²⁺/Pt is so high (+1.188) thus there will be no reaction with HNO₃.

Pt + HNO₃ = No reaction

(c) The standard reduction potential of Pt²⁺/Pt is more than nickel Ni²⁺/Ni thus there will be no reaction between Pt and Ni(NO₃)₂.

Pt +  Ni(NO₃)₂ = No reaction.

How long, in seconds, would it take for the concentration of A to decrease from 0.860 M to 0.310 M?
kogti [31]

Answer:

2.038 seconds.

Explanation:

So, in the question above we are given the following parameters in order to solve this question. We are given a rate constant of 0.500 s^-, initial concentration= 0.860 M and final concentration= 0.310 M,the time,t =??.

Assuming that the equation for the first order of reaction is given below,that is;

A ---------------------------------> products.

Recall the formula below;

B= B° e^-kt.

Therefore, e^-kt = B/B°.

-kt = ln B/B°.

kt= ln B°/B.

Where B° and B are the amount of the initial concentration and the amount of the concentration remaining, k is the rate constant and t = time taken for the concentration to decrease.

So, we have; time taken,t = ln( 0.860/.310)/0.500.

==> ln 2.77/0.500.

==> time taken,t =2.038 seconds.

Scientist have genetically altered a common virus so that it can Destroy the most lethal type of brain tumor without harming the
sergey [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is - discovering or diagnosing the disease.

Explanation:

According to the question, this technology includes genetically modifying a common virus in order to destroy or kill the deadly brain tumor without affecting normal cells around the tumor, this technique is genetic engineering.

This technique can help in treating or curing the disease by killing the tumor cells and make them non-lethal. It can also prevent the tumor cells to grow and make them controlled. There is nothing mention related to diagnosing the disease in the question and it is not possible to find this tumor with help of such a technique.
