Explain how the copper could be in the lake sample near the picnic area but not have been detected by this test.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Masja [62]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

May be the instrument is incorrect or may be error in it.

Explanation:

The copper have not been detected by this test because the test may be not for the detection of copper, may be it is used for identification of another minerals. If there is copper in the lake sample but can't be detected in the test so it means that the instrument which is used for detection is not the right one  or having error in that instrument. Every mineral has a specific type of instrument that detect its presence, if we use incorrect instrument for the mineral then we can't detect the presence of that specific mineral.

Identify the reactants and the products in this chemical equation.<br><br> 2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Fe₂O₃ and C are reactants

Fe and CO₂ are products

Explanation:

Reactants:

Chemical species that are present on left side of chemical reaction equation are called reactants.

Product:

Chemical species that are present on right side of chemical reaction equation are called product.

Chemical equation:

2Fe₂O₃ + 3C  →  4Fe + 3CO₂

In this reaction 2 mole of iron oxide is react with three moles of carbon and produced four moles of iron and three moles of carbon dioxide. There are equal numbers of atoms of all elements present on both side of chemical reaction so this reaction follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Calculate the ph of a solution with a [H3O+]=5.6x10-9M
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

               pH  =  8.25

Explanation:

                   The acidity or basicity of a solution is measured by its pH. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Solutions having pH from 0-6.9 are considered acidic, at 7 neutral and basic when ranging from 7.1-14.

pH is calculated as,

                                 pH  =  - log [H⁺]   ---- (1)

Where;

            [H⁺]  =  concentration of Acid

Also, for bases pH i calculated using following formula,

                                 pH  =  14 - pOH

Therefore, Putting value of H⁺ in equation 1,

                                 pH  =  - log [5.6 × 10⁻⁹]

                                pH =  8.25

The solution provided is basic in nature.
