Why is carbon used to extract metals from their oxides? ​

Chemistry
1 answer:
pashok25 [27]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

If a metal is less reactive than carbon, it can be extracted from its oxide by heating with carbon. The carbon displaces the metal from the compound, and removes the oxygen from the oxide. This leaves the metal.

Is acid rain a global or a regional concern ?
notsponge [240]

Explanation:

Acid rain is linked to both natural and man-made sources. Nitrogen oxides are formed through the extreme heating of air when a thunderstorm produces lightning. ... For this reason, acid rain is considered a global problem

Consider the Bohr Model of Phosphorus below. Which statement is FALSE?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

(C) Energy is released when the electron is ejected from the atom.

Explanation:

In the Bohr model of the atom, electrons are arranged in energy levels. The electrons in the lowest energy levels are nearest to the nucleus. An electron may move from a lower to a higher energy level by absorbing energy that is equal to the difference between the energies of the higher and lower energy level.

The potential energy of all electrons inside the atom have negative values and an electron which is infinitely far from the nucleus has an electrostatic potential energy of zero.

Energy is absorbed when an electron is removed from the atom (ionization). Hence the process is highly endothermic. Therefore it is false to say that "Energy is released when the electron is ejected from the atom."

PLEASE HELP!?!.!,! What are the products of the combustion of a hydrocarbon?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

carbon dioxide and water

Explanation:

Example: Combustion of Methane (CH₄(g))

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) => CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)**

____________________

Note: The combustion of any hydrocarbon produces CO₂ & H₂O. That is,

Ethane (C₂H₆) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Propane (C₃H₈) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Butane (C₄H₁₀) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

The issue remaining is to balance the reaction equation. For these type equation balance Carbon 1st, then Hydrogen and finish with Oxygen. Balancing in this order leaves Oxygen which can be balanced using fractions. If problem requires lowest whole number ratios of elements, simply multiply entire equation by 2 to get standard equation*

______________________

*Standard Equation is defined as the smallest whole number ratios of elements. The 'standard equation' is significant in that it is assumed to be at STP conditions; i.e., 0⁰C (=273K) & 1.0 Atmosphere pressure.

  • Ethane (C₂H₆) + 7/2O₂(g) => 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

    => 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)  <= Standard Form of Rxn

  • Propane (C₃H₈) + 5O₂(g) => 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn (no need to balance with the '2' multiple)
  • Butane (C₄H₁₀) + 13/2O₂ => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)

    => 2C₃H₈ + 13O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn

______________________

**Also, note that water, H₂O(g), is listed as a gas. In some cases it will be listed as a liquid, H₂O(l).

How does ph affect photosynthesis?
liraira [26]
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants create their food. It involves the operation of enzymes in the plant cells , and they work best at certainpH levels. ... Thus, as the plant's pH drifts away from the best pH, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease.
