Red or orange color is usually a sign of rust
lapo4ka [179]2 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

When iron reacts with the moisture present in air then an oxide layer tends to develop on the surface of iron. This process is known as rusting of iron.

Chemical formula of rust is Fe_{2}O_{3}.xH_{2}O. This layer of oxide on the surface of iron is reddish-brown in color.

For example, when an iron nail rusts then color of the nail changes to reddish-brown.

This change is a chemical change as a new compound iron oxide has formed in this process of rusting.

Hence, we can conclude that a color change on the nail from silver to reddish-brown is a signal that rusting has taken place.

If 38.5 grams of potassium react with excess oxygen gas, how many grams of potassium oxide can be produced? 4K + O2 yields 2K2O
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

46.40 g.

Explanation:

  • It is a stichiometric problem.
  • The balanced equation of the reaction: 4K + O₂ → 2K₂O.
  • It is clear that 4.0 moles of K reacts with 1.0 mole of oxygen produces 2.0 moles of K₂O.
  • We should convert the mass of K (38.5 g) into moles using the relation:

<em>n = mass / molar mass,</em>

n = (38.5 g) / (39.098 g/mol) = 0.985 mole.

<em>Using cross multiplication:</em>

4.0 moles of K produces → 2.0 moles of K₂O, from the stichiometry.

0.985 mole of K produces → ??? moles of K₂O.

∴ The number of moles of K₂O produced = (0.985 mole) (2.0 mole) / (4.0 mole) = 0.4925 mole ≅ 0.5 mole.

  • Now, we can get the mass of K₂O:

∴ mass = n x molar mass = (0.5 mole) (94.2 g/mol) = 46.40 g.

Flura [38]

Answer:

Combining the two clear colorless liquids is a chemical change.

Explanation:

Because a different solid substance is formed. Tell students that a precipitate is an insoluble solid that forms when two solutions are combined and react chemically. Insoluble means that the solid will not dissolve.

Explain why need modifications about temperature and keep pressure atom
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The pressure law states that for a constant volume of gas in a sealed container the temperature of the gas is directly proportional to its pressure. ... This means that they have more collisions with each other and the sides of the container and hence the pressure is increased.
