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

a chemist measured 75.00g of HCL into a volumetric flask and added water until the volume was 1.000 L. what is the molarity of t

Aleks04 [339]

Answer: M = 2.08 M

Explanation: Molarity is expressed as the number of moles per unit volume in liters. First convert the mass of HCl to moles using its molar mass. Then substitute the variables to the formula for molarity.

75.00 g HCl x 1 mole HCl / 36 g HCl

= 2.08 moles HCl

For Molarity.

M = n / L

= 2.08 moles HCl / 1.000 L

= 2.08 M
