Why is graphite used as a lubricant

Chemistry
2 answers:
Korvikt [17]3 years ago
6 0

There are weaker covalent bonds between these layers, hence they can easily slide over each other. Due to this, it is a lubricant, since the layers slide over each other so easily. ... Graphite is a mineral made of loosely bonded sheets of carbon atoms, giving it a slippery texture that makes it a very effective lubricant.

NEED HELP ASAPPP<br><br> What is the number of beryllium atoms in 78.0g of Be?
polet [3.4K]

Answer: number of atoms is 5.21 · 10^24

Explanation: Atomic mass of Be is 9.012 g/mol.

Number of moles n = m/M = 78.0 g / 9.012 g/mol =

Multiply this with Avogadro number Na = 6.022*10^23 1/mol

what is the concentration of hydroxide ions after 50.0 ml of 0.250 m naoh is added to 120 ml of 0.200 m na2so4? please show all
Galina-37 [17]

The concentration of the hydroxide ions after 50 ml of 0.250M NaOH is added to 120ml of 0.200M Na2SO4 is 7.35 x 10^-2 M.

What is meant by concentration?

Concentration is the total amount of solute present in the given volume of solution. this is expressed in terms of molarity, molality, mole fraction, normality etc. The term concentration mostly refers to the solvents and solutes present in the solution.

Concentration of hydroxide ions can be calculated by,

M (OH^-) = V (NaOH) x M (NaOH) / V (total) = 50ml x 0.250M / 50ml + 120ml = 0.0735M = 7.35 x 10^-2 M.

where M (OH^-) = concentration of hydroxide ions, V(NaOH) = volume of NaOH, M(NaOH) = concentration of NaOH.

Therefore, the concentration of the hydroxide ions after 50 ml of 0.250M NaOH is added to 120ml of 0.200M Na2SO4 is 7.35 x 10^-2 M.
