Explanation:

Silver and Gold belong to a special group of metals known as the native metals. They are found naturally on their own and not in combined form in rocks.

  • These metals are found uncombined because they are unreactive.
  • They prefer to alloy with themselves.
  • Calcium and magnesium on the other hand are reactive metals.
  • The unreactivity of these metals makes them uncombined in nature.

Answer:

It is true that earth was once covered with oceans and little dry land.

Explanation:

Over the course of around four billion years, the Earth's oceans have lost about a quarter of their original mass. Today the atmosphere is rich in oxygen, which reacts with both hydrogen and deuterium to recreate water, which falls back to the Earth's surface. So the vast bulk of the water on Earth is held in a closed system that prevents the planet from gradually drying out. According to the researchers,  the continents emerged relatively suddenly from an ocean that covered 95 percent of the Earth's surface. The appearance of large masses of dry land would have caused more extreme weather, changes in ocean currents and the emergence of proper seasons. In turn, these environmental changes may have led to rise in atmospheric oxygen that enabled the explosion of new life forms around 500 million years ago.

Convert mass to moles for both reactants. (round to 2 significant figures.)
Maslowich

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of CuCl₂  = 2.50g

Mass of Al  = 0.50g

Unknown:

Number of moles of CuCl₂ and Al  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we must understand that the number of moles is a fundamental property used in stoichiometry calculations.

         Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

Molar mass of CuCl₂  = 63.6 + 2(35.5) = 134.5g/mole

Molar mass of Al  = 26.98g/mole

          Number of moles of  CuCl₂  = \frac{2.5}{134.5}  = 0.019moles

        Number of moles of Al  = \frac{0.5}{26.98}   = 0.019moles
