5 physical properties of osmium

Chemistry
1 answer:
lisabon 2012 [21]2 years ago
6 0
In 1803AD, Osmium was discovered by Smithson Tennant when dissolving an impure sample of platinum in aqua regia, a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids. He was able to determine that the black powder left behind after dissolving the platinum was actually a mixture of two new elements, indium and osmium.

•Osmium is a bluish-white and shiny metal.

•Osmium is very hard and is brittle even at very high temperatures.

•Osmium has the lowast vapor pressure and the highest melting point among the platinum group of metals.

•Osmium's density is slightly more than iridium hence is credited as the heaviest element.

How many types of hybridization does carbon undergo?​
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

For carbon the most important forms of hybridization are the sp2- and sp3- hybridization. Besides these structures there are more possiblities to mix dif- ferent molecular orbitals to a hybrid orbital. An important one is the sp- hybridization, where one s- and one p-orbital are mixed together.

A bond in which one atom contributes both bonding electrons to a covalentbond
yKpoI14uk [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

A coordinate bond

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • A chemical bond is a force of attraction between two or more atoms of elements.
  • Covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs between non-metal atoms.
  • It occurs as a result of sharing of electrons between the non-metal atoms.
  • Atoms involved in covalent bond formation may contribute equally to the bond formation or the electrons shared may come form one of the atoms.
  • When the electrons shared in a covalent bond are derived from one atom, then the covalent bond is known as a coordinate bond.

Of the different states of matter listed below, which is typically the most dense?
stiv31 [10]
The correct answer is option B. The most dense phase of matter is the solid phase and the least dense are gases. However, there is an exception. Water is the exception. Solid water or ice is less dense than the liquid phase therefore it floats on liquid water.

How many moles of hydrogen gas will be produced if 5.00 moles of zinc reactions with an excess amount of sulfuric acid
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Moles of Hydrogen produced is 5 moles

Explanation:

The balanced Chemical equation for reaction between zinc and sulfuric acid is :

Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)

This equation tells that ; when  1 mole of Zn react with 1 mole of sulfuric acid, it produces 1 mole of zinc sulfate and 1 mole of hydrogen.

Since sulfuric acid is in excess so Zinc is the limiting reagent

(Limiting reagent : Substance which get consumed when the reaction completes, limiting reagent helps in predicting the amount of products formed)

Limiting reagent (Zn) will decide the amount of Hydrogen produced

Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)

1\ mole\ zinc\rightarrow 1\ mole\ H_{2}

So,

5\ mole\ zinc\rightarrow 5\ mole\ H_{2}

Hence moles of Hydrogen produced is 5 moles
