Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

It is a common observation that a strip of aluminium metal in aqueous copper(II)Sulfate does not show any visible reaction. Aluminium is normally expected to displace copper in solution since it is higher than copper in the electrochemical series.

The reason for this is that aluminium forms an oxide film around its surface which prevents reaction with aqueous copper(II)Sulfate. This oxides film protects the aluminium surface such that it is now unable to react with the aqueous copper(II)Sulfate

2. A solution is 0.01 M in Ba2+ and 0.01 M in Ca2+. Sodium sulfate is added to selectively precipitate one of the cations, while
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Explanation:

The solution contain  0.01 M concentration of Ba²⁺

0.01M concentration of Ca²⁺

Ksp ( solubility constant) for BaSO₄ = 1.07 × 10⁻¹⁰

Ksp for CaSO₄ = 7.10 × 10⁻⁵

(BaSO₄) = (Ba²⁺) (SO₄²⁻)

1.07 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 0.01 M (SO₄²⁻)

1.07 × 10⁻¹⁰ / 0.01 = ( SO₄²⁻)

1.07 × 10⁻⁸ M = ( SO₄²⁻)

so the minimum of concentration of concentration sulfate needed is 1.07 × 10⁻⁸ M

For CaSO₄

CaSO₄ = ( Ca²⁺) (  SO₄²⁻)

7.10 × 10⁻⁵  = 0.01 (SO₄²⁻)

(SO₄²⁻) = 7.10 × 10⁻⁵   / 0.01 = 7.10 × 10⁻³ M

so BaSO₄ will precipitate first since its cation (0.01 M Ba²⁺) required a less concentration of SO₄²⁻ (1.07 × 10⁻⁸ M ) compared to CaSO₄

b) The minimum concentration of SO₄²⁻ that will trigger the precipitation of the cation ( 0.01 M Ba²⁺) that precipitates first is 1.07 × 10⁻⁸ M

When an apple or banana is cut, a chemical reaction with air causes the flesh to turn brown. Placing the fruit in a cold place,
PIT_PIT [208]

Apples turn brown when exposed to air because it undergoes aerial oxidation.  Due to this, when the inside of the apple is exposed to the air containing oxygen and water, it turns brown. When apple is uncut, skin of the apple protects it from this process. 


If the peeled apple in kept in the refrigerator, the oxidation reaction is greatly slowed down. This is because, rate of chemical reaction decreases with temperature. Hence, in refrigerator it would take several days for it to turn brown.

2Agl+Na2S Ag2S+2Nal is it balanced or unbalanced
lara [203]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

It is balanced

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The equation, 2AgI+Na₂S → Ag₂S+2NaI, is balanced because the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.
  • That is, there are two silver atoms, two iodide atoms, two sodium atoms, and one sulfur atom on the right and left the side of the equation.
  • According to the law of conservation of mass, chemical equations should be balanced for the mass of reactants to be equal to that of the products.
