Explanation:
Calculate the mass of 1 mole of malachite:
MM Cu = 63.55
MM O = 16.00
MM H = 1.01
MM C = 12.01
A mole of malachite has:
2 moles of Cu
5 moles of O
2 moles of H
1 mole of C
MW Malachite = 2*MM(CU) + 5*MM(O) + 2*MM(H) + 1 *MM(C)
MW Malachite = 2*63.55 + 5*16.00 + 2*1.01 + 1*12.01
MW Malachite = 221.13
Mass of Cu in a mole of Malachite = 2*MM(CU) = 127.1
Now divide the mass of Cu by the mass of Malachite
Answer:
0.3793 M
Explanation:
The unknown metal is zinc. So the equation of the reaction is;
Zn(s) + Cu^2+(aq) -------> Zn^2+(aq) + Cu(s)
From Nernst equation;
E = E° - 0.0592/n log Q
[Cu2+] = 0.050179 M
n = 2
[Zn^2+] = ?
E = 1.074 V
E° = 0.34 - (-0.76) = 1.1 V
Substituting values;
1.074 = 1.1 - 0.0592/2 log [Zn^2+]/0.050179
1.074 - 1.1 = - 0.0592/2 log [Zn^2+]/0.050179
-0.026 = -0.0296 log [Zn^2+]/0.050179
-0.026/-0.0296 = log [Zn^2+]/0.050179
0.8784 =log [Zn^2+]/0.050179
Antilog(0.8784) = [Zn^2+]/0.050179
7.558 = [Zn^2+]/0.050179
[Zn^2+] = 7.558 * 0.050179
[Zn^2+] = 0.3793 M
Water is one of the few substances which expand in volume when frozen, compared to liquid. Usually substances condense when cooled, but at the point of freezing, when liquid water becomes solid ice, the molecules lock into a matrix in which there is more space between molecules - ice expands! This is why ice floats on liquid water.
It is this miracle which has shaped the planet and allowed life to thrive. Expansion of ice is responsible for much land-shaping erosion on land, the heaving off of boulders from mountain tops. And the floating of ice on lakes, rivers and oceans - if the frozen water was indeed more dense than liquid water, it would sink and pile up in the cold depths. There would be no life thriving under the ice, overwintering. It would all eventually freeze solid, and all the life forms with it.
