A zinc coating is added to the surface of a tin component to provide corrosion protection to the tin. Assume that the coating ad

heres to (physically contacts) the underlying tin. A small region of the zinc coating is chipped, but the remainder of the coating remains intact. What do you expect will happen to the coating and the exposed tin in the presence of salt water and oxygen?

Answer:

In the presence of salt water and oxygen the coating will not corrode. As long as zinc coating is present and remains intact corrosion is not possible.

Explanation:

Here it is given that a tin is present so firstly tin is made of a chemical element

which belongs to carbon family in periodic table of group 14.

It is a silvery,soft, white metal with a bluish tinge.

Now the covering which is been done on the tin is Zinc.

so, zinc is known to be served as a sacrificial coater.

Their is an amazing reason behind zinc coating being so effective and intact  i.e. Its own corrosive properties are such that it stops corrosion.

Their is a process which is known as a galvanic corrosion which refers to that "ZINC" defers to the metal  to which it is protecting.

It is even more electrochemically active than iron itself.

Here, it is mentioned that zinc coating gets chipped but the coating remains intact. So, if the zinc is not removed from the tin's surface it will not get corroded when it is exposed to salt water and oxygen.

Predict the density of acetylene gas (C2H2) at 0.910 atm and 20oC.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

d = 0.98 g/L

Explanation:

Given data:

Density of acetylene = ?

Pressure = 0.910 atm

Temperature = 20°C (20+273 = 293 K)

Solution:

Formula:

PM = dRT

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K

M = molecular mass = 26.04 g/mol

0.910 atm × 26.04 g/mol = d × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K×293 K

23.7  atm.g/mol = d × 24.1 atm.L/mol

d = 23.7  atm.g/mol / 24.1 atm.L/mol

d = 0.98 g/L

The correct mathematical expression for finding the molar solubility (s) of calcium phosphate is
GalinKa [24]

Answer is: The molar solubility of calcium phosphate is 108s⁵ = Ksp.

<span> Balanced chemical reaction: Ca</span>₃(PO₄)₂(s) → 3Ca²⁺(aq) + 2PO₄³⁻(aq).<span>
[Ca²</span>⁺] = 3s(Ca₃(PO₄)₂) = 3s.<span>
[PO</span>₄³⁻] = 2s.<span>
Ksp = [Ca²</span>⁺]³ · [PO₄³⁻]².<span>
Ksp = (3s)³ · (2s)².
Ksp = 108s</span>⁵.

s = ⁵√(Ksp ÷ 108).

How does the Sun get energy?
Nikolay [14]
The sun generates energy from a process called nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, the high pressure and temperature in the sun's core cause nuclei to separate from their electrons. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one helium atom.

A hot air ballon will rise in air because:
solmaris [256]

Answer: C

Explanation:

Hot air is a lot less dense for a few reasons. Hot air essentially means the particles have more kinetic energy, and move around a lot more. Cold air is dense because the particles move a lot less, have less energy, and are closer together.
