Given that XeF4 reacts with water to form explosive XeO3, chemists would not handle it near water. However, why would you still

not want to work with it on the lab bench, even if there was apparently no water around?

How does the density of aluminum compare with the density of gold

rewona [7]

Gold has a very high density of about 19.32g/cm^3 while Aluminum has a low density of 2.7 gm/cm^3 which means gold can pack more amount of matter in a comparatively small space as compared to Aluminum.

Is it better for an element to be more abundant or less abundant?

PIT_PIT [208]

I believe it's better for it to be more abundant because it's better to have more then less. Take water as an example. Water is an important factor to our survival and if we didn't have enough of that we would be in trouble. Or if we needed food but there wasn't enough more people would be dying from starvation. It's better to have a little more than a little less.

Identify the following redox reactions by type. Check all that apply. (a) Fe + H2SO4 → FeSO4 + H2 combination decomposition disp

EastWind [94]

Answer :

(a) displacement reaction

(b) combination reaction

(c) disproportionation reaction

(d) displacement reaction

Explanation :

(a) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$Fe+H_2SO_4\rightarrow FeSO_4+H_2$

This reaction is a single replacement reaction or displacement in which the the more reactive element (Fe) replace the less reactive element (H).

(b) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$S+3F_2\rightarrow SF_6$

This reaction is a combination reaction in which the two reactants molecule combine to form a large molecule or single product.

(c) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2CuCl_2\rightarrow Cu+CuCl_2$

This reaction is a disproportionation reaction in which the chemical species gets oxidized and reduced simultaneously. It is also considered as a redox reaction.

(d) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2Ag+PtCl_2\rightarrow 2AgCl+Pt$

This reaction is a single replacement reaction or displacement in which the the more reactive element (Ag) replace the less reactive element (Pt).
