Why can pure metals conduct electricity?

Chemistry

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The structure and bonding of metals explains their properties:

They are electrical conductors because their delocalised electrons carry electrical charge through the metal.

They are good conductors of thermal energy because their delocalised electrons transfer energy.

They have high melting points and boiling points, because the metallic bonding in the giant structure of a metal is very strong - large amounts of energy are needed to overcome the metallic bonds in melting and boiling.

They are malleable, which means they can be bent and shaped easily. In pure metals, the atoms are arranged in neat layers, and when a force is applied to the metal (eg by being hit with a hammer), the layers of metal atoms can slide over each other, giving the metal a new shape.

Explain why calcium (Ca) has a greater atomic radius than magnesium (Mg).
g100num [7]

Answer:

Magnesium nucleus will attract the electrons more toward it and therefore, shrinking the size of the atom. Magnesium atom is smaller than Calcium atom because Calcium has more electron ( 20e− ) which will occupy more energy levels ( n=4 for Calcium versus n=3 for Magnesium)

What is the mass of the solid NH4Cl formed when 75.5 g of NH3 is mixed with an equal mass of HCl? What is the volume of the gas
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer : The volume of the gas remaining is 56.5 liters.

The gas is hydrochloric acid and the formula of the gas is HCl.

The mass of NH_4Cl produced is, 110.7 grams.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

NH_3+HCl\rightarrow NH_4Cl

First we have to calculate the moles of NH_3 and HCl

\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }NH_3}{\text{Molar mass of }NH_3}

Molar mass of NH_3 = 17 g/mole

\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{75.5g}{17g/mole}=4.44mole

and,

\text{Moles of }HCl=\frac{\text{Mass of }HCl}{\text{Molar mass of }HCl}

Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mole

\text{Moles of }HCl=\frac{75.5g}{36.5g/mole}=2.07mole

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of HCl react with 1 mole of NH_3

So, 2.07 mole of HCl react with 2.07 mole of NH_3

From this we conclude that, NH_3 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and HCl is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

The remaining moles of HCl gas = 4.44 - 2.07 = 2.37 moles

Now we have to calculate the volume of the gas remaining.

Using ideal gas equation :

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of gas = 752 mmHg = 0.989 atm     (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = number of moles of gas = 2.37 moles

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of gas = 14.0^oC=273+14.0=287K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.989atm\times V=2.37mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 287K

V = 56.5 L

Now we have to calculate the moles of NH_4Cl

As, 1 mole of HCl react with 1 mole of NH_4Cl

So, 2.07 mole of HCl react with 2.07 mole of NH_4Cl

Now we have to calculate the mass of NH_4Cl

\text{ Mass of }NH_4Cl=\text{ Moles of }NH_4Cl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NH_4Cl

Molar mass of NH_4Cl = 53.5 g/mole

\text{ Mass of }NH_4Cl=(2.07moles)\times (53.5g/mole)=110.7g

Thus, the volume of the gas remaining is 56.5 liters.

The gas is hydrochloric acid and the formula of the gas is HCl.

The mass of NH_4Cl produced is, 110.7 grams.

Which of the following reasons best explains why water isn
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

the wax is a nonpolar substance that will not mix with polar water

Explanation:

Water is polar by due to the uneven distribution of charge between the hydrogen and oxygen. T=This automatically eliminates options 3 and 4.

Wax on the other hand is a non polar substance. Due to this non polar characteristic, it would not dissolve in water. The correct option is;

- the wax is a nonpolar substance that will not mix with polar water
