In chemistry class, Allen determined the effectiveness of various metals in releasing hydrogen gas from hydrochloric acid. Sever

al weeks later, Allen read that a utilities company was burying lead next to iron pipes to prevent rusting. Allen hypothesized that less rusting would occur with the more active metals. He placed the following into 4 separate beakers of water: (a) 1 iron nail, (b) 1 iron nail wrapped with an aluminum strip, (c) 1 iron nail wrapped with a magnesium strip, and (d) 1 iron nail wrapped with a lead strip. He used the same amount of water, equal amounts (mass) of the metals, and the same type of iron nails. At the end of 5 days, he rated the amount of rusting as small, moderate, or large. He also recorded the color of the water. What is the independent variable?
a) the amount of water
b) the metals strips
c) amount of rust
d) hydrochloric acid

Answer:

b) the metals strips

Explanation:

In an experimental design, an independent variable is a variable that is changed or manipulated in a series of experiments. An independent variable is not dependent on any other variable in the experiment. The hypothesis for this experiment is stated to be: "If the chemical activity of the metallic wrapper is increased, then less rusting of iron will occur. The independent variable relates to the type of metal wrapping strip, and the dependent variables are the amount of rusting and color of the water.

Which of the following observations indicates that there is a small, dense, positively charged part in the center of an atom?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Rutherford deduced that the atomic nucleus was positively charged because the alpha particles that he fired at the metal foils were positively charged, and like charges repel. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons, so they are positively charged. In Rutherford's experiments most of the alpha particles passed straight through the foil without being deflected. However, occasionally the alpha particles were deflected in their paths, and rarely the alpha particles were deflected backward at a 180 degree angle.

Since like charges repel, Rutherford concluded that the cause of the deflections of the positively charged alpha particles had to be something within the atom that was also positively charged. Rutherford concluded from his metal foil experiments that most of an atom is empty space with a tiny, dense, positively charged nucleus at the center that contains most of the mass of the atom.

Element “yellowium” has three naturally occurring isotopes. Below are the masses and relative abundance of each isotope. Find th
katrin [286]
To find average atomic mass, multiply each isotope's atomic mass with its relative abundance and add it all up.

15.012*0.1423 + 16.988*0.3348 + 19.177*0.5229 = 17.851 (5 s.f.)

How does chemical reactivity of metals vary while moving.
OverLord2011 [107]

Reactivity of metals depends on the tendency to lose electrons. ... As we move down the group, the tendency to gain electrons decreases because as the atomic size increases, the effective nuclear charge decreases.

U<br> What is the hydronium ion concentration of a substance with a pH of 2?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The hydronium ion concentration of the substance is 0,01 M.

Explanation:

The pH indicates the acidity or basicity of a substance. PH values between 0 and less than 7 indicate acidic solutions, 7 neutral and greater than 7 to 14 basic. It is calculated as

pH = -log (H 30+), and in this case we solve to calculate (H30 +):

(H30 +) = antilog -pH= antilog -2

<em>(H30+)=0,01 M</em>

Study the graphs in Figure 6.33 and answer these questions. (see attached image)
Vlad [161]

Hey there :)

The highest solubility of a solute will be when it has the greatest quantity in g when dissolved in 100 g of water. So the solute that is most soluble in water, will have a higher g/100 g water.

1:

a: 0°C - Sucrose will be the solute that is most soluble in water.

b: 80 °C - Also Sucrose will be the most soluble in water.

2:

Yes, as we can see in the graph, sucrose, potassium nitrate, ammonium sulfate and sodium chloride have different solubilities between them and at different temperatures. For example, solubility at 0 °C:

sucrose: 180 g / 100 g of water

potassium nitrate: ~10 g/ 100 g of water

ammonium sulfate: 80 g/100 g water

sodium chloride: 30 g/ 100 g of water
