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.

Which of the following is not the same as 0.00684 kg?
olchik [2.2K]

kg and all the given units are units used to measure mass.

kg is the standard unit to measure mass

lets find the value of 0.00684 kg in all the given units

a. dkg

1 kg is equivalent to 100 decagram (dkg)

therefore 0.00684 kg is = 100 dkg/kg x 0.00684 kg = 0.684 dkg

this is not the given value therefore this choice is incorrect

b. 1 kg is equivalent to 1000 g

therefore 0.00684 kg = 1000 g/kg x 0.00684 kg = 6.84 g

this is the given value so this is correct

c. 1 kg is equivalent to 100 000 centigrams (cg)

therefore 0.00684 kg = 100 000 cg/kg x 0.00684 kg = 684 cg

this is the given value so this is also correct

d) 1 kg is equivalent to 1 000 000 mg

therefore 0.00684 kg = 1 000 000 mg/kg x 0.00684 kg = 6 840 mg

this too is correct

the incorrect answer is A. 0.0684 dkg

A fog over a lake. what two changes of state must occur to produce the fog? do the water molecules absorb or release energy duri
Zolol [24]
The water from the lake must first evaporate from the liquid state to the gaseous state and then condense in the air to form vapors.
The water molecules absorb energy while evaporating and release it when condensing. Their motion gets faster when they are evaporating and slows back down upon condensation.

What is the wavelength of a photon with an energy of 3.50 x 10^-19 J ?
Leokris [45]

Answer:

λ = 5.68×10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy of photon = 3.50 ×10⁻¹⁹ J

Wavelength of photon = ?

Solution:

E = hc/λ

h = planck's constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

c = 3×10⁸ m/s

Now we will put the values in formula.

3.50 ×10⁻¹⁹ J =  6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js × 3×10⁸ m/s/ λ

λ =  6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js × 3×10⁸ m/s / 3.50 ×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ =  19.89×10⁻²⁶ J.m / 3.50 ×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 5.68×10⁻⁷ m
