Pure metals possess few important physical and metallic properties, such as melting point, boiling point, density, specific gravity, high malleability, ductility, and heat and electrical conductivity. These properties can be modified and enhanced by alloying it with some other metal or nonmetal, according to the need.
Alloys are made to:
Enhance the hardness of a metal: An alloy is harder than its components. Pure metals are generally soft. The hardness of a metal can be enhanced by alloying it with another metal or nonmetal.
Lower the melting point: Pure metals have a high melting point. The melting point lowers when pure metals are alloyed with other metals or nonmetals. This makes the metals easily fusible. This property is utilized to make useful alloys called solders.
Enhance tensile strength: Alloy formation increases the tensile strength of the parent metal.
Enhance corrosion resistance: Alloys are more resistant to corrosion than pure metals. Metals in pure form are chemically reactive and can be easily corroded by the surrounding atmospheric gases and moisture. Alloying a metal increases the inertness of the metal, which, in turn, increases corrosion resistance.
Modify color: The color of pure metal can be modified by alloying it with other metals or nonmetals containing suitable color pigments.
Provide better castability: One of the most essential requirements of getting good castings is the expansion of the metal on solidification. Pure molten metals undergo contraction on solidification. Metals need to be alloyed to obtain good castings because alloys
I know it is either B or D, since I know that K will oxidize in water, and Ag will have a tougher time oxidizing. I am going to lean towards D for my answer.
Answer:-
2328.454 grams
Explanation:-
Volume V = 18.4 litres
Temperature T = 15 C + 273 = 288 K
Pressure P = 1.5 x 10^ 3 KPa
We know universal Gas constant R = 8.314 L KPa K-1 mol-1
Using the relation PV = nRT
Number of moles of oxygen gas n = PV / RT
Plugging in the values
n = (1.5 x 10^3 KPa ) x ( 18.4 litres ) / ( 8.314 L KPa K-1 mol-1 x 288 K)
n = 11.527 mol
Now the balanced chemical equation for this reaction is
2KNO3 --> 2KNO2 + O2
From the equation we can see that
1 mol of O2 is produced from 2 mol of KNO3.
∴ 11.527 mol of O2 is produced from 2 x 11.527 mol of KNO3.
= 23.054 mol of KNO3
Molar mass of KNO3 = 39 x 1 + 14 x 1 + 16 x 3 = 101 grams / mol
Mass of KNO3 = 23.054 mol x 101 gram / mol
= 2328.454 grams
Answer:
8 kg mass
Explanation:
As we can see in the image the weight of mass 8 kgs has a large surface area as compared to the surface area of other masses. In general, it has been observed that a wide surface area has more surface particle for heat conduction. Hence, the rate of heat transfer is directly proportional to the surface area of heat conducting surface. Thus, the larger the surface area, the faster is the rate of heat conduction.
Hence, weight of mass 8Kg wil transfer heat a fast rate.
