Explain why metals can conduct electricity and heat well

1 answer:

8 0

Electric current is the flow of electrons in a wire. In metals, the outer electrons of the atoms belong to a 'cloud' of delocalised electrons. They are no longer firmly held by a specific atom, but instead they can move freely through the lattice of positive metal ions. ... Metals are good conductors of heat.

The chemical formula for ferric sulfate is Fe(SO4)3. Determine the following:

Lyrx [107]

Answer :

(a) The number of sulfur atoms are, $31.61\times 10^{23}$ .

(b) The mass of the mass of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ is, 1059.682 grams.

(c) The number of moles of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ is, $8.63\times 10^{-3}mole$

(d) The mass of the mass of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ is, $19.95\times 10^{-22}g$

Explanation :

(a) As we are given the number of moles of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ is, 1.75 mole. Now we have to calculate the number of sulfur atoms.

In the $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ , there are 2 iron atoms, 3 sulfur atoms, 12 oxygen atoms.

As, 1 mole of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ contains $3\times 6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of sulfur atoms.

So, 1.75 mole of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ contains $1.75\times 3\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=31.61\times 10^{23}$ number of sulfur atoms.

The number of sulfur atoms are, $31.61\times 10^{23}$

(b) As we are given the number of moles of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ is, 2.65 mole. Now we have to calculate the mass of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ .

$\text{Mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3\times \text{Molar mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3$

The molar mass of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ = 399.88 g/mole

$\text{Mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=2.65mole\times 399.88g/mole=1059.682g$

The mass of the mass of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ is, 1059.682 grams.

(c) As we are given the mass of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ is, 3.45 grams. Now we have to calculate the moles of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ .

$\text{Mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3\times \text{Molar mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3$

The molar mass of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ = 399.88 g/mole

$3.45g=\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3\times 399.88g/mole$

$\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=8.63\times 10^{-3}mole$

The number of moles of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ is, $8.63\times 10^{-3}mole$

(d) As we are given the formula unit of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ is, 3. Now we have to calculate the mass of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ .

As we know that 1 mole of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ formula unit.

Formula used :

$\text{Formula unit of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3\times 6.022\times 10^{23}$

$3=\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3\times 6.022\times 10^{23}$

$\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=4.989\times 10^{-24}mole$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ .

$\text{Mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=\text{Moles of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3\times \text{Molar mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3$

The molar mass of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ = 399.88 g/mole

$\text{Mass of }Fe_2(SO_4)_3=4.989\times 10^{-24}mole\times 399.88g/mole=19.95\times 10^{-22}g$

The mass of the mass of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ is, $19.95\times 10^{-22}g$

EleoNora [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

The half-life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5.73x10^3 years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon-14 in a tiny sample of an artifact made of woodfrom an archeological dig is measured to be 2.8x10^3 Bq. The activity in a similiar-sized sample of fresh wood is measured to be 3.0x10^3 Bq. Calculate the age of the artifact. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

570 years

Explanation:

The activity of the fresh sample is taken as the initial activity of the wood sample while the activity measured at a time t is the present activity of the wood artifact. The time taken for the wood to attain its current activity can be calculated from the formula shown in the image attached. The activity at a time t must always be less than the activity of a fresh wood sample. Detailed solution is found in the image attached.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

1.00 M

Explanation:

Sn^2+ reacts with KMNO4 as follows;

5Sn^2+(aq) + 2MnO4^-(aq) + 16H^+(aq) ----> 5Sn^4+(aq) + 2Mn^+(aq) + 8H2O(l)

The number of moles of MnO4^- reacted = 42.1/1000 L × 0.145 mol/L

= 0.0061 moles

If 5 moles of Sn^2+ reacts with 2 moles of MnO4^-

x moles of Sn^2+ reacts with 0.0061 moles of MnO4^-

x= 5 × 0.0061/2

x= 0.015 moles

Since the volume of the Sn^2+ solution is 15.00mL or 0.015 L

number of moles = concentration × volume

Concentration = number of moles/volume

Concentration= 0.015 moles/0.015 L

Concentration = 1 M
