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

Chemistry
2 answers:
Mama L [17]3 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.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

               The type of bond formed in FeS would be <u>Polar Covalent Bond</u>.

Explanation:

Types of Bonds can be predicted by calculating the difference in electronegativity.

If, Electronegativity difference is,

               Less than 0.4 then it is Non Polar Covalent  Bond

               Between 0.4 and 1.7 then it is Polar Covalent  Bond

               Greater than 1.7 then it is Ionic  Bond

For Fe and S,

                   E.N of Sulfur           =   2.58

                   E.N of Iron              =   1.83

                                                  ________

                   E.N Difference            0.75          (Polar Covalent Bond)

A student is given an antacid tablet that weighs 5.4630 g. The tablet is crushed and 4.3620 g of the antacid is added to 200. mL
Luda [366]

Solution :

It is given that :

Weight of the antacid tablet = 5.4630 g

4.3620 gram of antacid is crushed and is added to the stomach acid of 200 mL and is reacted.

25 mL of the stomach acid that is partially neutralized required 13.6 mL of NaOH to be titrated for a red end point.

27.7 mL of $NaOH$ solution is equivalent to $25 \ mL$ of the original stomach acid. Therefore, 13.6 mL of NaOH will take x $\frac{25\text{ mL of original stomach acid}}{\text{27.7 mL of NaOH}}$

                                                             = 12.27 ml of the original stomach acid.

What is the gasoline doing to our environment?
luda_lava [24]
Gasoline use contributes to air pollution
Gasoline is a toxic and highly flammable liquid. The vapors given off when gasoline evaporates and the substances produced when gasoline is burned (carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and unburned hydrocarbons) contribute to air pollution. Burning gasoline also produces carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.

A solution has a [OH−] of 1 × 10−12 M. What is the [H3O+] of the solution?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:  1 × 10−2 M

Explanation:  Kw is known as the constant of water dissociation and its value is found to be 10^{-14}  . It is the product of the concentration of  [H3O+] and [OH -] ions .

Dissociation of water can be represented by -

         2 H_{2} O (aq)\rightleftharpoons H_{3}O^{+}(aq) + OH^{-}(aq)

Kw = [H3O+]  [OH -]

As we know that pKw = - log Kw,

Thus pKw = 14

pOH = - log OH- = - log (10^{-12}) = 12

and  pKw = pH + pOH

           14   = pH + 12

pH = 14 - 12 = 2

pH = -log H3O+

2 =   -log H3O+

Therefore, [H3O+] = 1 × 10−2 M
