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
1 answer:
Olegator [25]3 years ago
3 0

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 does the titration of a weak acid with a strong base always have a basic equivalence point? Why does the titration of a weak
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a weak acid reacts with a strong base then it results into the formation of a basic solution. Hence, the resulting solution will always have a pH greater than 7.

Since, at the equivalence point number of hydrogen ions become equal to the hydroxide ions. Therefore, pH of solution will be about 7.

So at the equivalence point, the weak acid will get neutralized due to the addition of strong base. Therefore, it will lead to the formation of conjugate base.

As a result, the solution will become slightly basic in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that at the equivalence point, the acid has all been converted into its conjugate base, resulting in a weakly acidic solution because at the equivalence point, the acid has all been converted into its conjugate base, resulting in a weakly basic solution.
