Answer:

The town should find a new source of water.

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert the mass of copper to milligrams

We will use the conversion factor 1 g = 1000 mg.

0.002 g × (1000 mg/1 g) = 2 mg

Step 2: Convert the mass of solution to kilograms

We will use the conversion factor 1 kg = 1000 g.

1000 g × (1 kg/1000 g) = 1 kg

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of Cu in ppm (mg/kg)

2 mg/1 kg = 2 ppm

This is over 1.3 ppm, so the town should find a new source of water.

Answer the questions about the characteristics of the elements in group 1 (the alkali metals). What happens when the elements in
irinina [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The elements in group form univalent positive ions and element in group 17 form univalent negative ions. Hence, when a group 1 element reacts with a group 17 element, a compound of the sort MX is formed. Hence, when a group 1 element reacts with bromine, a salt is formed with the general formula MBr.

Elements of group 1 are highly electro positive metals. They react with water to form the metal hydroxide and release hydrogen gas. Hence, when group 1 elements react with water, hydrogen gas is released.

A group 1 element forms a univalent positive ion while a group 16 element forms a divalent negative ion. Hence, when a groups 1 element reacts with oxygen, the compound formed must have the general formula M2O.

The reactivity of group 1 metal increases down the group hence Cs is the most reactive group 1 element.

Lithium displays a slightly different chemistry from other group 1 elements because of its small size.

Which has higher percentage of oxygen: (Fe = 56, O = 16, C = 12) a) FeO b) FeCO3 c) Fe2O3 d) Fe3O4
allochka39001 [22]

B)

FeO = 56, 16, 0

FeCO3 = 56, 48, 12

Fe2O3 = 112, 48, 0

Fe3O4 = 168, 64, 0

How many atoms does 2.0 moles of He represent
Rudiy27

We use the following formula to calculate the number of atoms:

n (mol) = N(number of atoms) / NA

N(He) = n(mol) · NA

N(He) = 2,0 moles · 6.02·1023 = 12.04·1023 atoms

When molten candle wax solidifies is that a chemical reaction or not?l
andrey2020 [161]

Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction

<u>Explanation:</u>

Basically Wax is crystalline so once the candle light melts it freezes taking back the solid state to the room temperature.

When the room temperature is below the freezing point, the liquid candle wax, turns into solid state again, therefore this process is called solidification. The process of freezing or solidification is a process when an object turns liquid and freezes back to solid state.

Indeed, Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction
