Why are metals malleable,ductile,and good conductors

1 answer:

7 0

The energy is transferred throughout the rest of the metal by the moving electrons. Metals are described as
malleable (can be beaten into sheets) and ductile (can be pulled out into wires). This is because of the ability of the atoms to roll over each other into new positions without breaking the metallic bond.

A 3.50 amp power supply is used to deposit chromium from a solution of CrCl3. How long will it take to deposit 100.0 grams of ch

Norma-Jean [14]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Current (I) = 3.50 amp, Mass deposited = 100.0 g

Molar mass of Cr = 52 g

It is known that 1 faraday of electricity will deposit 1 mole of chromium. As 1 faraday means 96500 C and 1 mole of Cr means 52 g.

Therefore, 100 g of Cr will be deposited by "z" grams of electricity.

$z \times 52 g = 96500 \times 100 g$

z = $\frac{96500 \times 100 g}{52 g}$

= 185576.9 C

As we know that, Q = I × t

Hence, putting the given values into the above equation as follows.

Q = I × t

185576.9 C = $3.50 amp \times t$

t = 53021.9 sec

Thus, we can conclude that 100 g of Cr will be deposited in 53021.9 sec.

The balloon would be smaller and not float as well because of the low temperature. The particles in the balloon when in the car will slow down and get closer together because of the low temperature. That caused it to become more dense and smaller in size then before. When in the store, the particulars in the balloon we’re moving faster and more spread apart
