Answer:

Some metals can be extracted from compounds by heating with carbon atom because they are less reactive than carbon and some metals cannot be extracted because they are more reactive than carbon atom.

Explanation: If the metal is less reactive than carbon atom so the carbon atoms make bond with oxide or other atom present with metal and the metal is free from that oxide or that element. But if the reactivity of metal is higher than carbon is unable to remove the oxide or element.

9966 [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

We'll assume there is an excess of silver nitrate, so that all 12.0 moles of the magnesium (Mg) will react.

The balanced equation tells us we'll obtain 2 moles of Ag for every 1 mole of magnesium, for a molar ratio of 2/1.

Starting with 12.00 moles Mg, we would therefore hope to find twice that, or 24.00 moles of Ag.

To convert to grams, find the molar mass of Ag from the periodic table.

Ag has a molar mass of 107.9 (to 4 sig figs) grams/mole.

(24.00 moles)*(107.9 grams/mole) = 2590 grams (4 sig figs)

Hands off, it's mine.

You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 5.31. You already have a solution that contains 10. mmol (millimoles) of

Karolina [17]

Answer:

37 mmol of acetate need to add to this solution.

Explanation:

Acetic acid is an weak acid. According to Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a buffer consist of weak acid (acetic acid) and its conjugate base (acetate)-

$pH=pK_{a}(acetic acid)+log[\frac{mmol of CH_{3}COO^{-}}{mmol of CH_{3}COOH }]$
