Which substances corrode copper?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
DiKsa [7]2 years ago
4 0
The presence of oxidizing acids; heavy-metal salts, sulfur, and ammonia; and a number of sulfur and ammonia compounds can cause corrosion to set in. Water that comes from a well is much more likely to contain these materials and put copper lines in jeopardy—but it can occur in the civic water system as well.

Copper corrodes at insignificant rates when used in areas with unpolluted air, non-oxidizing acids, and water. However, it happens more rapidly with the presence of road salt, ammonia, sulfur, oxidizing acids

Acidic substances react with the surface of copper, causing it to tarnish and corrode almost instantly. This corrosion is highly soluble, leading to the presence of toxic copper salts in the food. This is why it is not recommended to use copper vessels for foods high in acidity, such as milk, wine, or vinegar.

How many of the following statements about silver acetate, AgCH3COO, are true? i) More AgCH3CoO(S) will dissolve if the pH of th
shutvik [7]

Answer:

All three statements are true

Explanation:

Solubility equilibrium of silver acetate:

AgCH_{3}COO\rightleftharpoons Ag^{+}+CH_{3}COO^{-}

  • If pH is increased then concentration of H^{+} increases in solution resulting removal of CH_{3}COO^{-} by forming CH_{3}COOH. Hence, according to Le-chatelier principle, equilibrium will shift towards right. So more AgCH_{3}COO will dissolve
  • If AgNO_{3} is added then concentration of Ag^{+} increases in solution resulting shifting of equilibrium towards left in accordance with Le-chatelier principle. So less AgCH_{3}COO will dissolve
  • Insoluble precipitate of AgOH is formed by adding NaOH in solution resulting removal of Ag^{+}. So, more AgCH_{3}COO will dissolve

Hence all three statements are true

2nd part of the other one plz help
Natalija [7]

18. Reaction will occur.

19. Reaction Will occur.

20. Reaction will occur.

21. Reaction will occur.

22. Reaction won't occur.

23. Reaction will occur.

24. Reaction will occur.

25. Reaction won't occur.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The reaction rate of the metals with water, steam, acid, or hydroxides or their inert behavior towards them are noted in the metal activity series.

It contains all the metals one after the other which and the upper metal can replace the lower metal from its salt.

Calcium can replace hydrogen from acid, so the reaction will occur in 18. The products formed are calcium phosphate and hydrogen gas.

Chlorine is more reactive than bromine. So it can replace bromine from its salt to from bromine gas and magnesium chloride.

Aluminium can replace iron from its salt. So it will form aluminium oxide and iron metal. This reaction is used to obtain iron from ores.

Zinc can replace hydrogen from acid. So the products will be zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.

Chromium cannot displace hydrogen form water. So the reaction won't occur.

Tin can replace hydrogen form acid. So the reaction will proceed.

Magnesium will replace platinum from its salt. So magnesium oxide and platinum will form.

Bismuth cannot replace hydrogen from acid. So the reaction won't proceed.

Potassium fluoride (KF, a salt, has a molecular weight of 58.10 grams. How many grams would be needed to make 1.0 liter of 5.0 m
AlladinOne [14]
The concentration of the solution is 5.0 molar, which is 5.0 mole/L.  So in the 1.0 L of 5.0 molar KF salt solution, the moles of KF is 5.0molar*1.0L=5.0 mole. The molecular weight of KF is given in the question as 58.10 gram/mole, so the grams of KF is 58.10 gram/mole * 5.0 mole = 290.5 gram.
