<h2>Answer:</h2>
A pure metal has specific properties. Sometimes we need that metal but with modified properties. So for the modification of properties we make alloys.
<h3>Explanation;</h3>
- An alloy is a mixture of two elements, one of which is a metal.
- Alloys often have properties that are different to the metals they contain.
- This makes them more useful than the pure metals alone.
- For example, alloys are often harder than the metal they contain.
Answer:
(a) (i) All the elements of a group have similar chemical properties because they have same no. of valence electrons in their outermost shell. (ii) All the elements of a period have different chemical properties because they have different no. of valence electrons in their atoms.
The answer is 0.59 M.
Molar mass (Mr) of MgCl₂ is the sum of the molar masses of its elements.
So, from the periodic table:
Mr(Mg) = 24.3 g/l
Mr(Cl) = 35.45 g/l
Mr(MgCl₂) = Mr(Mg) + 2Mr(Cl) = 24.3 + 2 · 35.45 = 24.3 + 70.9 = 95.2 g/l
So, 1 mol has 95.2 g/l.
Our solution contains 55.8g in 1 l of solution, which is 55.8 g/l
Now, we need to make a proportion:
1 mole has 95.2 g/l, how much moles will have 55.8 g/l:
1 M : 95.2 g/l = x : 55.8 g/l
x = 1 M · 55.8 g/l ÷ 95.2 g/l ≈ 0.59 M
It is called rust and it forms when water soaks into the metal forming a chemical reaction.
