rusting of steel can be prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc. Explain, in terms of electron transfer, why steal d
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Wouldn't rust because zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron and will therefore oxidize first.

Explanation:

This process whereby rusting of steel is prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc is known as galvanization.

Now, in this process, the steel object will be coated in a thin layer of zinc. This coating will prevent oxygen and water from reaching the underneath metal since the zinc will also act as a sacrificial metal.

Now, Zinc is used because it has a lower reduction potential than iron and thus it will get easily more oxidized than iron. Which means the zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron.

Also, since zinc has a lower reduction potential, it is therefore the more active metal. Thus, even if the zinc coating is scratched and the steel is exposed to moist air, the zinc will still get to oxidize before the iron.

(CO2) (O2) (He) (N2) (CH4) (Imagine these are balloons with the specified gas inside)
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Highest speed: He

Lowest speed: CO2

Explanation:

The rms speed (average speed) of the molecules/atoms in an ideal gas is given by:

v=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}

where

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature of the gas

M is the molar mass of the gas, which is the mass of the gas per unit mole

From the equation, we see that at equal temperatures, the speed of the molecules in the gas is inversely proportional to the molar mass: the higher the molar mass, the lower the speed, and vice-versa.

In this problem, we have 5 gases:

(CO2) (O2) (He) (N2) (CH4)

Their molar mass is:

CO2: 44 g/mol

O2: 16 g/mol

He: 4 g/mol

N2: 14 g/mol

CH4: 16 g/mol

The gas with lowest molar mass is Helium (He): therefore, this is the gas with greatest average speed.

The gas with highest molar mass is CO2: therefore, this is the gas with lowest average speed.

On the galapagos islands, Darwin studied many creatures, including finches. Explain what he observed and how it relates to natur
Tatiana [17]
Darwin observed the beaks of the birds and how the different beaks helped the birds to eat different types of seeds.

This relates to natural selection because certain finches with say a smaller shorter beak would be able to eat only smaller seeds and fruits as to where a finch with a longer larger beak could eat larger bigger seeds and fruits. 

Hope this helped! Have a great day!

Nacl is an ionic solid. the na+ and cl− ions in nacl are bonded through an electrostatic force of attraction commonly known as t
Murrr4er [49]
<span>NaCl is poster-compound for ionic bonding. The bonds in NaCl have about 70% ionic character, making the bond highly polar. its overstatement to state that there is actual ion in NaCl with +1 and -1 charge but actual charge of Na and Cl is +1 and -1 ion, since Nacl exist as a network of highly charged particle and not discrete molecule, NaCl particle does not exhibit intermolecular forces. Water molecule on other hand exhibit London dispersion force, keesom force, and hydrogen bonding. The polar water molecule are attracted to the polarized Na and Cl atoms. This is what allow NaCl(s) to dissolve and ionize in water. Therefore type of attraction in NaCl is ion-dipole attraction.</span>
