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

Olegator [25]3 years ago

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.

The concentration in molality of hcl in a solution that is prepared by dissolving 5.5 g of hcl in 200.0 g of c2h6o is __________
PIT_PIT [208]

Molality is one way of expressing concentration of a solute in a solution. It is expressed as the mole of solute per kilogram of the solvent. To calculate for the molality of the given solution, we need to convert the mass of solute into moles and divide it to the mass of the solvent.

<span>
Moles of HCl = 5.5 g HCl ( 1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl ) = 0.1509 mol HCl</span>

<span>
Molality = 0.1509 mol HCl / 200 g C2H6O ( 1 kg / 1000 g )
Molality = 0.7543 mol / kg</span>


<span>The concentration in molality of hcl in a solution that is prepared by dissolving 5.5 g of hcl in 200.0 g of c2h6o is 0.7453 molal.</span>

In a balanced, non-charged atom, the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge)

So there are 92 electrons
