Silver is the metal with the highest conductivity, followed by copper, gold and aluminium. Why do you think copper and aluminium

are used for electrical wire and cable rather than silver and gold?
Chemistry

Explanation:

Copper and aluminum are used for electric wires and cables because they are readily available and cheaper to produce.

The abundance of copper and aluminum is higher compared to silver and gold.

This makes the metals easier to mine than silver and gold. It would be impossible to use the scare amount of gold and silver to make electric wires and cables.

This use cannot be sustained.

Why melting point of Fe in blast furnace is lower than ellingham?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Because they are different oxides.

Explanation:

In both processes they are involve Iron Oxides, but in the case of Ellingham diagrams, it is consider the Iron in combination with oxygen to form FeO, so the melting point is around 1600  ºC. In the case of blast furnace, the Fe that is present in the ores, are primary the hematite (Fe2O3) and the magnetite (Fe3O4).

How do the differences in the polyatomic ions po3 3- and po4 3- help you determine whether each ends in -ite or -ate?
Tcecarenko [31]

There is a rule in naming polyatomic anions containing oxygen. Those names ending in <em>–ate</em> are given to the most common oxyanion of an element. While those names ending in <em>–ite</em> are for those that contains fewer O atom for the same charge. Since PPO_{3} ^{3-} has fewer O atoms, its name ends in <em>–ite</em>. Thus, PPO_{3} ^{3-}  is phosphite while PPO_{4} ^{3-}  is phosphate.
