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.

If temperature is increased , the number of collision per second

Tomtit [17]

Answer: increases

Explanation:

Increase in the temperature of a reaction system will cause the molecules of the reactants to possess higher kinetic energy which they would use to travel more randomly in the system, colliding more frequently with other excited molecules and with the wall of the containing vessel.

Thus, if temperature is increased, the number of collision per second also increases.

Acetic acid (HC2H3O2, Ka=1.8x10^-5) is a weak acid. Calculate the pH of an aqueous solution of .25M acetic acid.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: The pH of an aqueous solution of .25M acetic acid is 2.7

Explanation:

$HC_2H_3O_2\rightarrow H^+C_2H_3O_2^-$

cM 0 0

$c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

Give c= 0.25 M and $\alpha$ = ?

$K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}$

Putting in the values we get:

$1.8\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(0.25\times \alpha)^2}{(0.25-0.25\times \alpha)}$

$(\alpha)=0.0084$

$[H^+]=c\times \alpha$

$[H^+]=0.25\times 0.0084=0.0021$

Also $pH=-log[H^+]$

$pH=-log[0.0021]=2.7$

Thus pH is 2.7

Why do non-metal aroms form covalent bonds e.g. H2O

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom. ... Covalent compounds tend to be soft, and have relatively low melting and boiling points.

You are a chemist working in your laboratory. In your storage closet you have a cabinet that holds only samples of pure elements

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Mercury

Explanation:

While it is true that most metals are solid at room temperature, mercury is liquid at room temperature hence mercury is often designated as the 'liquid metal'.

Thus, if i find a bottle on the shelf that has no solid in it, only liquid and i know that only pure metals are stored in that area of the laboratory, then i will quickly relabel it as mercury.
