Which property can be used to tell gold and pyrite apart?

Chemistry
1 answer:
zubka84 [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D. Malleability

Explanation:

Gold is made up of the element Au and it is a metal.

Pyrite is iron sulfide and it is a non-metal.

  • They have very similar appearance to such an extent that pyrite is widely called the fool's gold.
  • To distinguish between the two, we simply explore their metallic properties.
  • Gold is malleable. Pyrite is not. It will crumble under pressure.

  • 536kJ/mol  
  • 504kJ/mol  
  • 419kJ/mol  
  • 391kJ/mol  
  • 358kJ/mol

2. Topic: Chemistry, Atom

The correct set of four quantum numbers for the valence electrons of the rubidium atom   (Z=37)  is:  

  • 5,1,1,+12  
  • 5,0,1,+12  
  • 5,0,0,+12
  • 5,1,0,+12

3. Rubidium and cesium are pyrophoric. Here the term pyrophoric means:

Which metal is more active than NI and less active than Zn?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer : The correct option is, (2) Cr (Chromium)

Explanation :

The reactivity series of metal are arranged of the reactivity from the highest to the lowest. Reactivity series is used to determine the products of the single displacement reactions. In the single displacement reaction, the most reactive metal displaces the least reactive metal.

From the given reactivity series we conclude that there are two metal (Mg and Cr) are more reactive metal than the Ni and there are two metal (Pb and Cr) are less reactive metal than the Zn. So, the Cr (Chromium) is the metal which is more active than Ni and less active than Zn.

Hence, the correct option is, (2) Cr

Identify the oxidizing agent in the reaction: Sn(s) + 2H+(aq) → Sn2+(aq) + H2(g) Sn2+ H2 H+ Sn
MrRa [10]

Answer:

H⁺(aq)

Explanation:

Let's consider the following redox reaction.

Sn(s) + 2 H⁺(aq) → Sn²⁺(aq) + H₂(g)

We can identify both half-reactions.

Oxidation: Sn(s) → Sn²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Reduction: 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → H₂(g)

Sn(s) undergoes oxidation so it is the reducing agent, while H⁺(aq) undergoes reduction so it is the oxidizing agent.
