Explain why aluminum does not react with potassium nitrate (KNO3) although it reacts with copper nitrate

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ratling [72]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Potassium is more reactive than aluminium, so no reaction takes place. But aluminium is more reactive than copper, so it replaces the copper in copper nitrate

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

More reactive metal compound + less reactive metal

-> no reaction

However

Less reactive metal compound + more reactive metal

-> more reactive metal compound + less reactive metal

This is called substitution reaction where the more reactive metal replaces the less reactive metal in the compound.

The average propane cylinder for a residential grill holds approximately 18 kg of propane. how much energy (in kj) is released b
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Let's begin with the basic values  that will be used in the solution.

The formula of propane is C3H8. It is an alkane, a hydrocarbon with the general formula of CnH2n+2. Notice that hydrocarbons have only Carbon and Hydrogen atoms. Its molar mass (M) is 44 g.

Molar Mass Calculation is done as like that
C=12 g/mol, H=1 g/mol. 1 mole propane has 3 moles Carbon atoms and 8 mole Hydrogen atoms. M(
C3H8)= 3*12+ 8*1= 44 g

Combustion reaction of hydrocarbons gives carbon dioxide and water by releasing energy. That energy is called as enthalpy of combustion (
ΔHc°).  

ΔHc° of propane equals -2202.0 kj/mol. Burning of 1 mole C3H8 releases 2202 kj energy. Minus sign only indicates that the energy is given out ( an exothermic reaction ).

Let's write the combustion reaction.
C3H8 + O2 ---> CO2 + H20 (unbalanced) 
ΔHc° = -2202 kj/mol

Now, we calculate mole of 20 kg propane. Convert kilogram into gram since we use molar mass is defined in grams.
mole=mass/molar mass ; n=m/M ; n= 20000 g /44 (g/mol)=454 mole

1 mole propane releases 2202 kj energy.
454 mole propane release 2202 kj *454= 1000909 kj

The answer is 1000909 kj.

A conductor is distinguished from an insulator with the same number of atoms by the number of:_____.
Savatey [412]

A conductor is distinguished from an insulator with the same number of atoms by the number of nearly free electrons.

<h3>What are conductors and insulators?</h3>

Whether an object is made of conductive or nonconductive material affects how it behaves once it has been charged. Electrons can move freely between particles when they are in conductors, which are substances. The charge can be transported across the whole surface of an object constructed of a conducting substance.

A charge is swiftly dispersed across the full surface of the object if it is applied to it at a specific point. The motion of the electrons causes the distribution of charge. A charged object will constantly disperse its charge until the overall repulsive interactions between surplus electrons are minimized because conductors allow electrons to be moved from particle to particle.

Insulators, as opposed to conductors, are substances that prevent electrons from freely moving from one atom or molecule to another.
