Why is the formation of tarnish a chemical change?

1 answer:

8 0

The tarnish is actually the result of a chemical reaction between the silver and sulfur-containing substances in the air. The silver is actually combining with sulfur and forming silver sulfide. ... When a thin coating of silver sulfide forms on the surface of silver, it darkens the silver. That's what we call 'tarnish. I hope this helped! Please leave a brainliest mark and thanks.

A wittig reaction occurs when 4-methylbenzaldehyde and benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride are stirred together at room temperat

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The wittig reaction is an organic reaction in which an aldehyde or a ketone reacts with a phosphonium ylide to give an alkene. This phoshonium ylide that participates in the reaction is usually generated insitu in the system by reaction of an alky or aryl triphenylphosphonium halide salt with a base(sodium hydroxide is mostly used).

In this particular reaction 4-methylbenzaldehyde and benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride were reacted together in the presence of sodium hydroxide and the product with the structure shown in the answer was obtained as the major isomer produced in the reaction.

If the [H+] in a solution is 1 × 10–1 mol/L, what is the [OH–]? Show your work.

AVprozaik [17]

Hello!

The basic equations to solve this is
pH = -log[H+]
pOH = -log[OH-]
pH + pOH = 14
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find pH

pH = -log(1 * 10^-1)
pH = 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find pOH
1 + pOH = 14

pOH = 13
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find OH-
[OH-] = 10^(-pOH)
[OH-] = 1 * 10^-13mo/L

The answer is $[OH-] = 1 * 10^{-13} mol/L$

Hope this helps!

This exercise uses the radioactive decay model.

Anna11 [10]

For radioactive decay, we can relate current amount, initial amount, decay constant and time using:
N = No x exp(-λt)

Half-life = ln(2)/λ
λ = ln(2) / 5730
N/No = 80% = 0.8
0.8 = exp( -ln(2)/5730 x t)
t = 1844 years

Give the following reaction: ammonium nitrate—> dinitrogen monoxide + water.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

a) NH₄NO₃ ⇒ N₂O + 2 H₂O

b) 1.69 × 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

NH₄NO₃ ⇒ N₂O + 2 H₂O

Step 2: Convert 11.2 g of NH₄NO₃ to moles

The molar mass of NH₄NO₃ is 80.04 g/mol.

11.2 g × 1 mol/80.04 g = 0.140 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of H₂O produced

0.140 mol NH₄NO₃ × 2 mol H₂O/1 mol NH₄NO₃ = 0.280 mol H₂O

Step 4: Calculate the number of molecules in 0.280 moles of water

We will use Avogadro's number.

0.280 mol × 6.02 × 10²³ molecules/1 mol = 1.69 × 10²³ molecules
