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.

What does it mean to say B is representing the dominant gene
Degger [83]

Answer:

Dominant genes are always represented by a capital letter which in this case is the letter B whereas recessive genes will be represented by a lower case letter like b.

You only need one copy of a dominant gene or allele to inherit it. A dominant allele is always expressed even if only one copy is present.

But you need two copies of genes or alleles to inherit the recessive gene. There also can't be a dominant allele of the gene if you are to inherit this.

A chemistry graduate student is given of a chlorous acid solution. Chlorous acid is a weak acid with . What mass of should the s
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

11.31g NaClO₂

Explanation:

<em> Is given 250mL of a 1.60M chlorous acid HClO2 solution. Ka is 1.110x10⁻². What mass of NaClO₂ should the student dissolve in the HClO2 solution to turn it into a buffer with pH =1.45? </em>

It is possible to answer this question using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where pKa is -log Ka = 1.9547; [A⁻] is the concentration of the conjugate base (NaClO₂), [HA] the concentration of the weak acid</em>

You can change the concentration of the substance if you write the moles of the substances:

[Moles HClO₂] = 250mL = 0.25L×(1.60mol /L) = <em>0.40 moles HClO₂</em>

Replacing in H-H expression, as the pH you want is 1.45:

1.45 = 1.9547 + log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

-0.5047 = log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

<em>0.3128 = </em>[Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

0.1251 = Moles NaClO₂

As molar mass of NaClO₂ is 90.44g/mol, mass of 0.1251 moles of NaClO₂ is:

0.1251 moles NaClO₂ ₓ (90.44g / mol) =

At a particular temperature, 12.0 moles of so3 is placed into a 3.0-l rigid container, and the so3 dissociates by the reaction 2
saul85 [17]
            2 SO₃ --> 2 SO₂ + O₂
I             12             0          0
C           -2x           +2x      +x
---------------------------------------------
E         12-2x          2x         x

Since the moles of SO₂ at equilibrium is 3 mol, 2x = 3. Then, x = 1.5 mol. So, the amounts at equilibrium is:
SO₃: 12 - 2(1.5) = 9
SO₂: 2(1.5) = 3
O₂: 1.5

The formula for K basing on the stoichiometric reaction is:
K = [SO₂]²[O₂]/[SO₃]² 
where the unit used is conc in mol/L.

K = [3 mol/3 L]²[1.5 mol/3 L]/[9 mol/3 L]²
<em>K = 0.0556</em>

During laparoscopic surgery , carbon dioxide gas is used to expand the abdomen to help create a larger working space. If 4.80 L
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

5.37 L

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to use the PV=nRT equation.

First we <u>calculate the amount of CO₂</u>, using the initial given conditions for P, V and T:

  • P = 785 mmHg ⇒ 785/760 = 1.03 atm
  • V = 4.80 L
  • T = 18 °C ⇒ 18 + 273.16 = 291.16 K

1.03 atm * 4.80 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 291.16 K

We <u>solve for n</u>:

  • n = 0.207 mol

Then we use that value of n for another PV=nRT equation, where T=37 °C (310.16K) and P = 745 mmHg (0.98 atm).

  • 0.98 atm * V = 0.207 mol * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 310.16 K

And we <u>solve for V</u>:

  • V = 5.37 L
