Why is platinum metal preferred to other metals for the flame test​

Chemistry
2 answers:
Mama L [17]2 years ago

Answer:

Platinum is especially good for this because it is unreactive, and does not produce a color in the flame which will mask the presence of other metals.

Hope this answer is right!

Answer:

<em>Hey</em><em> </em><em>mate</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>here</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>your</em><em> </em><em>answer</em>

1. Platinum doesn't impart any color to the flame.

2. It is not oxidised under the high temperature of the flame from a bunsen burner.

3. It is almost chemically inert. Even at high temperatures, it remains unattacked by free radicals / acid radicals.

Therefore, platinum wire is crucial for a flame test. Also, a platinum wire should be thoroughly cleaned before using it for a new flame test.

A platinum wire is cleaned by dipping it into concentrated HNO3 and then placing it in the non luminous part of the bunsen flame. Otherwise, the perviously tested radicals will impart color to the flame, which may cause confusion.

If 16.4 grams of calcium nitrate is heated as shown in the reaction:
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

7.2

Explanation:

you first have to find the number of moles of nitrogen dioxide by using the number of moles for calcium nitrate and the mole to mole ratios

number of moles of calcium nitrate=mass/mm

=16.4/102

=0.16g/mol

then you use the mole to mole ratios

2 : 4

0.16: x

2x/2=0.64/2

x=0.32g/moles of nitrogen dioxide

then you use the formula for the volume

v=22.4n

=22.4×0.32

=7.2

I hope this helps

SOMEONE PLS HELP
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

<h2>464.85 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we're finding the new volume

V_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}  \\

100.7 kPa = 100,700 Pa

95.1 kPa = 95,100 Pa

We have

V_2 =  \frac{100700 \times 439}{95100}  =  \frac{44207300}{95100}  \\  = 464.8506...

We have the final answer as

<h3>464.85 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

The genetic material of all organisms;made up of two twisted strands in a double helix
viva [34]
Hello!

The genetic material of all organisms which is made up of two twisted strands in a double helix is called DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid)

DNA 
is the basis of all genetic information. It contains all instructions for the development and functioning of all living organisms and some viruses. The main function of DNA is the long-term storage of information to build other cell components like Proteins and RNA. It is composed of two strands with 4 possible bases which are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G).

Have a nice day!
