Why do engineers use metals in making electrical wires

Chemistry
1 answer:
Montano1993 [528]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Why is copper used for most electrical wiring? All metals have some amount of resistivity to electrical currents, which is why they require a power source to push the current through. The lower the level of resistivity, the more electrical conductivity a metal has

A student was assigned the task of determining the identity of an unknown liquid. The student weighed a clean, dry 250-mL Erlenm
LiRa [457]

Answer:

248.4 mL

Explanation:

Erlenmeyer = 78.649 g

Erlenmeyer + Water = 327.039 g

Water = (Erlenmeyer + Water) - Erlenmeyer

Water = 327.039 - 78.649

Water = 248.4 g

if the density of water is 1 g/mL, we can say that each mL of water weigh 1 g, so we have 248.4 mL of water in the Erlenmeyer Flask.

Why is Avogadro’s number referred to as a mole? If you could change this terminology, what would you change it to and why?
stepan [7]

The number of particles (molecules, atoms, compounds, etc.) per mole of a substances is known as Avagadro number. It is equal to 6.022×10^23 mol-1 and is expressed as NA.


Number of moles is the amount of a substance that contains as many particles as there are atoms in 12 grams of pure carbon-12. So, 1 mol contains 6.022×10^23 elementary entities of the substance. Since 6.022 x 10^23 is the Avagadro number, one mole is equal to Avagadro number.


One mole of a substance is the ratio of mass of the substance by the molecular mass of the substance. Thus the mass of one mole of a substance is equal to the substance's molecular weight. Thus one mole of a substance is the atomic mass unit of a substance and since one mole is equivalent to the Avagadro number,we can conclude that one Avagadro number is one atomic mass unit of the substance.

Silicon Tetrachloride is reacted with very pure magnesium, producing silicon and magnesium chloride. (What would be the unbalanc
raketka [301]
Pure magnesium's formula would just be Mg because all elements except for 7 nonmetals are just left alone when they are by themselves in a formula. The 7 diatomic elements( means they have to have two of them without another element attached to it aka. a subscript two after it when it's by itself) are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. An easy way to remember the diatomic seven is that when looking at a periodic table if you trace over them from nitrogen over to fluorine and down to iodine all of those elements are diatomic + hydrogen. 

And your unbalanced and balanced equations are correct.

(sorry I went on a tangent with the diatomic rules hopefully it will help you in the future though)
