Answer:

The given metal sample is not aluminum because its density is 3.0 g/cm³ while density of aluminum is  2.7 g/cm³.

Explanation:

Given data:

Density of aluminum = 2.7 g/cm³

Mass of metal sample = 52.0 g

Volume of metal sample = 17.1 cm³

which sample is that = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through density formula.

d = m/v

d = density

m = mass

v= volume

Now we will put the values in formula.

d = 52.0 g/ 17.1 cm³

d = 3.0 g/cm³

It is given in question the density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm³. The given metal sample is not aluminum because its density is 3.0 g/cm³.

13. How many electrons are transferred in the following reaction? (The reaction is unbalanced.) Fe(s) + I'(aq) 12(s) + Fe3+(aq)
Nat2105 [25]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 6

Explanation :

Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is a reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this oxidation state increases.

Reduction reaction : It is the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this oxidation state decreases.

The given unbalanced chemical reaction is,

Fe(s)+I^-(aq)\rightarrow I_2(s)+Fe^{3+}(aq)

Half reactions of oxidation and reduction are :

Oxidation : Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+3e^-        ......(1)

Reduction : 2I^-(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow I_2         .......(2)

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, we get:

Oxidation : 2Fe(s)\rightarrow 2Fe^{3+}+6e^-        ......(1)

Reduction : 6I^-(aq)+6e^-\rightarrow 3I_2         .......(2)

The overall balanced chemical reaction will be:

2Fe(s)+6I^-(aq)\rightarrow 3I_2(s)+2Fe^{3+}(aq)

From this reaction we conclude that the electrons are getting transferred from iron to iodine and the number of electrons transferred are 6 electrons.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) 6

Which of the following rules should you follow to balance chemical equations?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

c. add coefficients as needed

Explanation:

A chemical equation is defined as the equation that shows changes in a chemical reaction. A chemical equation consist of reactant and product, reactant is at left side of the arrow and product is at right side of the arrow.

Reactant => Product

While balancing a chemical equation, the basic rule is to balance the coefficient as required. Coefficient represents the number of molecules and is used at front of a chemical symbol. Change in coefficient helps balance the number of atoms or molecules of the substances on both the sides of the arrow.

Subscripts are never allowed to change because it can change the chemical involved in the reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is "c. add coefficients as needed".

What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 31.9% potassium, 28.9% chlorine, and 39.2% oxygen?
notsponge [240]
The  empirical formula  for a compound   is KClO3

     Explanation 
 
find  the  moles of each  element
moles  = % composition/molar  mass

molar  mass of  of  potassium =39g/mol ,chlorine = 35.5 g/mol, oxygen =16 g/mol

moles  of potassium  =  31.9 / 39 = 0.818  moles
moles of  chlorine    = 28.9/35.5 = 0.814 moles
moles of   oxygen  =  39.2/  16 =  2.45  moles


find the  mole ratio  by  dividing   with  the smallest  mole = 0.814  moles

potassium = 0.818/0.814  =1  
chlorine  =  0.814/0.814 = 1
oxygen =  2.45 /0.814 =3 


the empirical  formula   is therefore = KClO3
