Why are metals alloyed?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lady_Fox [76]2 years ago
5 0
Because alloys have qualities that are preferable to pure metals, almost all metals are utilised as alloys—that is, mixes of several elements. Alloying is done for a variety of purposes, the most common of which are to increase strength, corrosion resistance, or cost savings.

What is the molarity of 10g of carbon in a 500L solution?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Molarity is the number of moles in a liter of a substance.

Molarity= Mole/volume

Mass= 10g

Molar mass of Carbon=12g

To calculate the mole we use the formula: mole= mass/molar mass

Mole = 10g/12g

Mole = 0.83

Molarity= 0.83/500 =0.0017moles per liter

A student was asked to prepare 500.0 mL of 6.0 M NaOH. The student measured 120.0 g of NaOH and placed it in a 1000 mL beaker. T
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The concentration of the solution will be much lower than 6M

Explanation:

To prepare a solution of a solid, the appropriate mass is taken and accurately weighed in a weighing balance and then made up to mark with distilled water.

From

n= CV

n = number of moles m/M( m= mass of solid, M= molar mass of compound)

C= concentration of substance

V= volume of solution

m=120g

M= 40gmol-1

V=500ml

120/40= C×500/1000

C= 120/40× 1000/500

C=6M

This solution will not be exactly 6M if the student follows the procedure outlined in the question. The actual concentration will be much less than 6M.

This is because, solutions are prepared in a standard volumetric flask. Using a 1000ml beaker, the student must have added more water than the required 500ml thereby making the actual concentration of the solution less than the expected 6M.

The half life of 226/88 Ra is 1620 years. How much of a 12 g sample of 226/88 Ra will be left after 8 half lives?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

0.0468 g.

Explanation:

  • The decay of radioactive elements obeys first-order kinetics.
  • For a first-order reaction: k = ln2/(t1/2) = 0.693/(t1/2).

Where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.

t1/2 is the half-life time of the reaction (t1/2 = 1620 years).

∴ k = ln2/(t1/2) = 0.693/(1620 years) = 4.28 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹.

  • For first-order reaction: <em>kt = lna/(a-x).</em>

where, k is the rate constant of the reaction (k = 4.28 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹).

t is the time of the reaction (t = t1/2 x 8 = 1620 years x 8 = 12960 year).

a is the initial concentration (a = 12.0 g).

(a-x) is the remaining concentration.

∴ kt = lna/(a-x)

(4.28 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹)(12960 year) = ln(12)/(a-x).

5.54688 = ln(12)/(a-x).

Taking e for the both sides:

256.34 = (12)/(a-x).

<em>∴ (a-x) = 12/256.34 = 0.0468 g.</em>

Iodine-131 decays with a half-life of 8.02
dlinn [17]
Radioactive material undergoes 1st order decay kinetics.

For 1st order decay, half life = 0.693/k

where k = rate constant

k = 0.693/half life = 0.693/8.02 = 0.0864 day-1

Now, for 1st order reaction,
k = \frac{2.303}{t} X log \frac{initial.conc}{final.conc}

Given: t = 6.01d, initial conc. = 5mg

∴0.0864 = \frac{2.303}{6.01} X log \frac{5}{final.conc}
∴ final conc. = 2.975 mg
