Answer:

conductivity and ductility

Explanation:

Metals are connected by crystalline lattices, each atom being surrounded by 8 or 12 other atoms of the same metal element, thus having equal attractions in all directions. In addition, since metal atoms have only 1, 2, or 3 electrons in the last electron layer (and this layer is usually well away from the nucleus, and therefore attracts little electrons); The result is that the electrons escape easily and move freely through the lattice.

This lattice structure and chemical bonding result in a number of properties that are characteristic of metal atoms. Two strong characteristics of metals are the conductivity and ductility that make metals great materials for the production of electrical wires.

  • Conductivity: Metals are great conductors of electricity and, because of this property, are widely used in electrical wires. This property is explained by the fact that since metals have a "sea" of free or delocalized electrons, these electrons allow the rapid transition of electricity through the metal. When subjected to an external voltage, these free electrons go to the positive pole of the external source. This movement of electrons is what we call electric current.
  • Ductility and Meability: Malleability is the ability to shape metals into thin blades by hammering the heated metal or passing it through rolling cylinders; and ductility is the transformation of wires by passing the metal through holes under heating. These two properties result from the fact that metal atoms can "slip" over each other.

The metal properties that make up electrical wires are conductivity and ductility. Conductivity is important for free electrons to flow, hence electricity. Ductility is as well integral for strips to be formed, but with ample strength that does not break the material.

Fe(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> FeCl2(aq) + H2(g)
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

In the option(A) moles of HCl left are 0.100 moles which is wrong, making the option incorrect.

Explanation:

Fe(s) + 2HCl(aq)\rightarrow  FeCl_2(aq) + H_2(g)


Moles of HCl = n

Molarity of HCl = 1.0M

Volume of HCl solution = 30.0 mL = 0.030 L (1 mL = 0.001L)

Moles=Molarity\times Volume (L)

n=1.0M\times 0.030 L=0.030 mol

Moles of Fe = \frac{0.56 g}{56 g/mol}=0.01 mol

According to recation , 1mol of Fe reacts with 2 mol HCl. Then 0.01 mole of Fe will recat with :

\frac{2}{1}\times 0.01 mol= 0.02 mol of HCl

This means that HCl uis in excess , hence excessive reagent.

Moles of HCl left unreacted :

= 0.030 mol - 0.020 mol = 0.010 mol

But in the option moles of HCl left are 0.100 moles which is wrong, making the option incorrect.

how many moles of sodium hydroxide would have to be added to 250 ml of a 0.403 m acetic acid solution, in order to prepare a buf
jonny [76]

The volume of the buffer solution having a ph value is calculated by henderson's hasselbalch equation.

Buffer solution is water based solution which consists of a mixture containing a weak acid and a conjugate base of the weak acid. or a weak base and conjugate acid of a weak base.it is a mixture of weak acid and a base. The pH of the buffer solution is determined by the expression of the henderson hasselbalch equation.

              pH=pKa + log [salt]/[acid]

Where, pKa =dissociation constant , A- = concentration of the conjugate base, [HA]= concentration of the acid. Here, a buffer solution contains 0.403m acetic acid  and 250 ml is added  in order to prepare a buffer with a ph of 4.750. Putting all the values in the henderson hasselbalch equation we find the pH of the buffer solution.
