Which distinguishes an atom of one element from an atoms of a different element?

Metals posses varying reduction potentials. Iron can reduce Cu+2 (aq) to copper metal. Silver can reduce Au+ (aq) to gold metal.

Answer: The true statement is iron can reduce $Au^+(aq)$ to gold metal

Explanation:

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

$A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.

We are given:

Iron can reduce copper, silver can reduce gold, sodium can reduce iron and copper can reduce silver metal.

The increasing order of reactivity thus follows:

$Au$

where, sodium is most reactive and gold is least reactive

For the given options:

Option 1: Copper cannot easily reduce sodium ion to sodium metal because it is less reactive.

$Cu(s)+Na^+(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}$

Option 2: Iron cant easily reduce gold ion to gold metal because it is more reactive.

$Fe(s)+3Au^+(aq.)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq.)+3Au(s)$

Option 3: Silver cannot easily reduce iron ion to iron metal because it is less reactive.

$Ag(s)+Fe^{3+}(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}$

Hence, the true statement is iron can reduce $Au^+(aq)$ to gold metal

Which type of bonding is found in all molecular substances?

Dmitrij [34]

The answer is covalent bonding. Molecular compounds are made of 2 or more nonmetals, and are therefore covalent. That is why another name for "molecular compound" is "covalent compound".
Answer: (1) covalent bonding

Hope this helped!! :D

1. 0.240 liters of water would be needed to dissolve 21.6 g of lithium nitrate to make a 1.3 M (molar) solution.

2. 2.9 M is the molarity of a solution made of 215.1 g of HCl is dissolved to make 2.0 L of solution.

3.83.3 ml of concentrated 18 M H2SO4 is needed to prepare 250.0 mL of a 6.0 M solution.

4. 135 ml of stock HBr will be required to dilute the solution.

5. 150 ml of water should be added to 50.0 mL of 12 M hydrochloric acid to make a 4.0 M solution

6. The pH of the resulting solution is 13.89

Explanation:

The formula used in solving the problems is

number of moles= $\frac{mass}{atomic mass of one mole}$ 1st equation

molarity = $\frac{number of moles}{volume}$ 2nd equation

Dilution formula

M1V1 = M2V2 3rd equation

1. Data given

mass of Lithium nitrate = 21.6 grams

atomic mass of on emole lithium nitrate = 68.946 gram/mole

Molarity is given as 1.3 M

VOLUME=?

Calculate the number of moles using equation 1

n = $\frac{21.6}{68.946}$

= 0.313 moles of lithium nitrate.

volume is calculated by applying equation 2.

volume = $\frac{0.313}{1.3}$

= 0.240 litres of water will be used.

2. Data given:

mass of HCl = 215.1 gram

atomic mass of HCl = 36.46 gram/mole

volume = 2 litres

molarity = ?

using equation 1 number of moles calculated

number of moles = $\frac{215.1}{36.46}$

number of moles of HCl = 5.899 moles

molarity is calculated by using equation 2

M = $\frac{5.899}{2}$

= 2.9 M is the molarity of the solution of 2 litre HCl.

3. data given:

molarity of H2SO4 = 18 M

Solution to be made 250 ml of 6 M

USING EQUATION 3

18 x V1= 250 x 6

V1 = 83.3 ml of concentrated 18 M H2SO4 will be required.

4. data given:

M1= 10M, V1 =?, M2= 3 ,V2= 450 ml

applying the equation 3

10 x VI = 3x 450

V1 = 135 ml of stock HBr will be required.

5. Data given:

V1 = 50 ml

M1= 12 M

V2=?

M2= 4

applying the equation 3

50 x 12 = 4 x v2

V2 = 150 ml.

6. data given:

HCl + NaOH ⇒ NaCl + H20

molarity of NaOH = 0.525 M

volume of NaOH = 25 ml

molarity of acid HCl= 75 ml

volume of HCl = 0.335 ml

pH=?

Number of moles of NaOH and HCl is calculated by using equation 1 and converting volume in litres

moles of NaOH = 0.0131

moles of HCl= 0.025 moles

The ratio of moles is 1:1 . To find the unreacted moles of acid and base which does not participated in neutralization so the difference of number of moles of acid minus number of moles of base is taken.

difference of moles = 0.0119 moles ( NaOH moles is more)

Molarity can be calculated by using equation 1 in (25 +75 ml) litre of solution

molarity = $\frac{0.0119}{0.1}$

= 0.11 M (pOH Concentration)

14 = pH + pOH

pH = 14 - 0.11

pH = 13.89
