Silicon is a metalloid element commonly found in Earth's crust. It helps form many different compounds, which have a variety of

different properties and applications.
One type of silicon-containing minerals is asbestos. Asbestos is resistant to heat and electricity, leading to its widespread use in manufacturing and the construction industry. Asbestos insulates buildings and makes them fire resistant. However, despite its usefulness, exposure to asbestos fibers or dust carries serious health risks that can cause respiratory disease or cancer.

Another silicon-containing compound is orthosilicic acid. Unlike asbestos, orthosilicic acid seems to benefit human health. This compound readily dissolves in water and is biologically stable enough to be used in the human body. Scientists have found evidence that orthosilicic acid plays an active role in the maintenance of strong bones.

The information above shows that silicon has both beneficial and detrimental effects on the human body. Given this information, think about other examples of materials or substances that can be both beneficial and detrimental at the same time. Research and write about two examples. Be sure to provide evidence to support your point of view.

The PH of a solution of Hcl is 2.find out the amount of acid present in a litre of the solution ​
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The solution is 10^-2 or 0.01M in HCl.

Explanation:

meaning of pH is "power of hydrogen".

what is the molar concentration of a HCl solution with pH=2?

Let say pH=2

[H+]=10^-2M

HCL is a strong acid that dissociates completely:

[H+]=[HCL]

Therefore solution is 10^-2 or 0.01M in HCL.

If we react 30 grams of ethane (C2H6 ) with 320 grams of oxygen, how many grams of carbon dioxide would we make
V125BC [204]

The mass of carbon dioxide that would be made by reacting 30 grams C2H6 with 320 grams O2 will be 80 grams

From the balanced equation of the reaction:

2C_2H_6+7O_2---4CO_2+6H_2O

The mole ratio of C2H6 to O2 is 2:7.

  • Mole of 30 grams C2H6 = mass/molar mass

                                        = 30/30

                                       = 1 mole

  • Mole of 320 grams O2 = 320/32

                                       = 10 moles

Thus, C2H6 is the limiting reactant.

Mole ratio of C2H6 to CO2 according to the equation = 1:2

Since the mole of C2H6 is 1, the equivalent mole of CO2 would, therefore, be 2.

Mass of 2 moles CO2 = mole x molar mass

                                    = 2 x 44

                                      = 88 grams

Based on the activity series, which one of the reactions below will occur (Spontaneous)? A. Mn (s) + NiCl2 (aq) → MnCl2 (aq) + N
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Mn (s) + NiCl2 (aq) → MnCl2 (aq) + Ni

Explanation:

The order of displacement of metals from aqueous solution by another metal is defined by the activity series of metals.

The activity series arranges metals in order of reactivity and increasing electrode potentials. The less negative the electrode potential of a metal is, the less reactive it is and the lower it is found in the activity series.

Nickel has a less negative electrode potential than manganese hence it is displaced from an aqueous solution of its salt by manganese spontaneously.
