Because the salt water has salt in it causing to errade more

~My Answer~:

Water is the enabler of fast oxidation of iron so freshwater will also cause rust. However, salt water is a very good conductor (lots of dissociated ions) and so there are a number of electrolysis reactions that tremendously accelerate corrosion in salt water.

Calculate the pH for each of the following cases in the titration of 50.0 mL of 0.210 M HClO(aq) with 0.210 M KOH(aq).

laiz [17]

35.0 mL of 0.210 M
KOH molarity = moles/volume
find moles of OH do the same thing for: 50.0 mL of 0.210 M HClO(aq) but for H+ they will cancel out: H+ + OH- -> H2O
but you'll have some left over,
pH=-log[H+] pOH
=-log[OH-] pH+pOH
=14

29. Ammonia is formed with one nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms. What is the electron configuration of nitrogen? How

masya89 [10]

Answer:

One lone-Pair is present in Ammonia

Explanation:

The number of valence electron in N = 5

The number of Valence electron in H = 1

The formula of ammonia = NH3

Total valence electron in ammonia molecule = 5 +3(1) = 5+3 = 8

The lewis structure suggest that :

Nitrogen completes its octet by sharing the electron pair with 3 hydrogen atoms.

3 electron of Nitrogen are involved in sharing with Hydrogen

So, remaining two electron are left non-bonded . Hence they exist as lone- pair

So, there is only 1 lone pair in the ammonia molecule .

The shape of NH3 is bent according to VSEPR theory . This is so because the presence of 1 lone pair causes more repulsion and occupy more space.

Thus the lone pair is changing the shape of the ammonia molecule . It also increase the dipole moment of the molecule , which gives polarity to it.

Arrange the three common unit cells in order from least dense to most dense packing. a. face-centered cubic < body-centered c

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

b. primitive cubic < body-centered cubic < face-centered cubic

Explanation:

The coordination number is defined as the number of atoms (or ions) surrounding an atom (or ion) in a crystal lattice. Its value gives us a measure of how tightly the spheres are packed together. The larger the coordination number, the closer the spheres are to each other.

In the primitive cubic, each sphere is in contact with 6 spheres, so its coordination number is 6.

In the body-centered cubic, each sphere is in contact with 8 spheres, so its coordination number is 12.

In the face-centered cubic, each sphere is in contact with 12 spheres, so its coordination number is 12.

Therefore, the increasing order in density is the primitive cubic first, then the body-centered cubic, and finally the face-centered cubic.

How many moles are in 20g of potassium (K)?

otez555 [7]

Explanation:

Hi for this one u just need to remember and use the equation.

$moles = \frac{mass}{mr}$

then u find mr of potassium which is 39.1.

then u do

$\frac{20}{39.1}$

you get the answer as 0.5115 write ur answer to 3 significant figures which will be 0.512 moles .

hope this helps :)
