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

Chemistry

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.

Explanation:

<em>Hope</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>helps</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em>

What is the pH of a solution that has a concentration of 1 X 10-3 hydrogen ions?
kykrilka [37]

Given :

Concentration of hydrogen ions, H^+ = 10^{-3} \ ions.

To Find :

The pH of a solution.

Solution :

We know, pH of a solution is given by :

pH = - log [ H^+]\\\\pH = -log ( 10^{-3})\\\\pH = 3

Therefore, the pH of the solution is 3 .

adelina 88 [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The unbalanced chemical equation is written below

<u>Explanation:</u>

Unbalanced chemical equation does not follow law of conservation of mass.

In an unbalanced chemical equation, total number of individual atoms on the reactant side will not be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

The chemical equation for the formation of ozone gas from oxygen gas:

O_2(g)\rightarrow O_3(g)

Hence, the unbalanced chemical equation is written above.
