Answer:

(<em>i) Concentrated HNO3 can be stored and transported in aluminium containers as it reacts with aluminium to form a thin protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface. This oxide layer renders aluminium passive. (ii) Sodium hydroxide and aluminium react to form sodium tetrahydroxoaluminate(III) and hydrogen gas.</em>

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Compound

Explanation:

We want to know if it's a compound or a mixture.

An example of a mixture is salt water: you can heat it hot enough to boil off the water, leaving only the salt. This is a physical change, which is how you know it's a mixture.

Something like gold is a compound: if you heat it, or hit it, you'll still only have gold. You can only break it down by chemical means, which is how you know it's a compound.

When a 5.00-g metal piece, A, was immersed in 38.0 mL of water, the water level rose to 50.0 mL. Similarly, when a 5.00-g metal

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

A is denser than B as it's volume for the same mass is smaller.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, we first need to take into account that the density of each metal A and B is computed by dividing the mass over the volume of each metal which is actually computed by substracting the volume of water from the volume of the water and the solid:

$V_A=50.0mL-38.0mL=12.0mL\\\\V_B=60.0mL-38.0mL=22.0mL$

Next, we compute the densities as shown below:

$\rho_A=\frac{m_A}{V_A}=\frac{5.00g}{12.0mL}=0.42g/mL\\ \\\rho_B=\frac{m_B}{V_B}=\frac{5.00g}{22.0mL}=0.23g/mL$

In such a way, A is denser is B as it's volume for the same mass is smaller.

Best regards.
