Answer:

Corrosion

Explanation:

Silver, although known as a nobble metal, is also subject to corrosion process such as having silver tarnish when exposed to sulfur and air.

Tarnishing occurs on the surfaces of some metals such as brass, copper, and silver, which results in a corroded layer. Silver tarnish occurs from the chemical reaction that takes place when silver is exposed to sulfur which results in the formation of black Ag₂S

In order to restore the original silver surface, the silver tarnish (silver sulfide) layer is removed.

We have the statement presented here as follows;

The forks shown are made of silver (Ag). Some of the silver forks shown have lost their luster - they have become tarnished. This is an example of <u>Corrosion.</u>

Which of these is not a covalent molecule?<br> 1. F2<br> 2. CO<br> 3. LiF<br> 4. NH3

beks73 [17]

LiF or lithium fluoride is the non covalent molecule or ionic compound.

Option 3.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Covalent molecules are those molecules which do have actual bonds between the atoms present in the molecule by sharing of the electrons. But in ionic molecules, there's no actual bonds between the atoms, but the oppositely charged ions are attracted towards each other by means of electrostatic force of attraction.

The molecules that are formed by the atoms with high electronegativity and electropositivity are actually ionic because the atoms with high electronegativity are able to actually gain electron readily and the atoms with high electropositivity are actually ready to give the electrons to the electronegative elements.

Lithium is highly electropositive and fluoride is highly electronegative. So they establish an ionic bond. But other molecules like fluorine molecule has both the electronegative elements, Carbon monoxide has carbon which isn't electropositive highly, and ammonia has hydrogen which isn't electropositive.

So lithium fluoride is the ionic compound.

A mixture of0.161 moles of C is reacted with 0.117 moles of O2 in a sealed, 10.0 L-vessel at 500.0 K, producing a mixture of CO

labwork [276]

Answer:

number of moles of CO2 is 0.054

number of moles of CO is 0.107

number of moles of O2 remaining is 0.01 mole

mole fraction of CO is 0.63

Explanation:

Firstly, we write the equation of reaction;

3C(s) +2O2(g) → CO2(g) +2CO(g)

Now, we proceed.

From the written equation, we can deduce that

3 mol C = 2 mol O2 = 1 mol CO2 = 2 mol CO

No of mol of C reacted = 0.161 mol

limiting reactant according to the question is Carbon

a. no of mol of CO2 formed = 0.161*1/3 = 0.054 moles ( no of moles of CO2 formed is one-third of no of moles of carbon reacted. This is obtainable from their mole ratio 1:3)

b. no of mol of CO formed = 0.161*2/3 = 0.107 mol

c. no of mol of O2 remaining = 0.117 - (0.151*2/3) = 0.117-0.107 = 0.01 mole

d. mole fraction of CO = no of mol of CO/Total number of moles

= 0.107/(0.107+0.054+0.01)

= 0.625730994152 which is approximately 0.63
