Answer:

Distillation can be used to soften water as the water evaporates as it is heated and the ions are left behind.

Hope that helps. x

Answer: Distillation can be used to separate and collect a liquid from a solution. Distillation can also be used to soften water as the water evaporates as it is heated and the ions are left behind. Hard water can be softened by adding sodium carbonate (washing soda) or by passing the water through an ion-exchange column.

Balance the following reaction in acidic solution:. . Ag(s) + NO3-(aq) -> Ag+(aq) + NO(g)
nekit [7.7K]
The two half-reactions are...
Ag→Ag+
and...
NO3→NO
Let's start by balancing the first half-reaction...
Ag→Ag+
The amounts are already balanced; 1:1. The oxygens are balanced. So all that's left is to balance the charge...
Ag→Ag++e−
Now let's do the other equation... Amounts of nitrogen are balanced, so we first need to balance the oxygens...
NO3→NO
4H++NO3→NO+2H2O
Next, we need to balance charge...
4e−+4H++NO3→NO+2H2O
Now let's go ahead and rewrite each half-reaction after being balanced by themselves...
Ag→Ag++e−
4e−+4H++NO3→NO+2H2O
Now we need to multiply by some factor to get the electrons to cancel out. In this case, that factor is 4, which needs to be applied to the top half-reaction...
4(Ag→Ag++e−)=4Ag→4Ag++4e−
Then we combine this half-reaction with the second one above to get...
4Ag+4H++NO3→4Ag++NO+2H2O

In the flame test, barium ions produce a green flame whereas calcium ions produce a red flame. In your own words, explain these
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The Barium flame is green because it is a difficult flame to excite, therefore for it to trigger a flame it is necessary that it be too excited for it to occur.

The reddish color of calcium is due to its high volatility and it is sometimes very difficult to differentiate it from strontium.the compression of these elements is due to being able to make them work during combustion

Explanation:

The flame test is a widely used qualitative analysis method to identify the presence of a certain chemical element in a sample. To carry it out you must have a gas burner. Usually a Bunsen burner, since the temperature of the flame is high enough to carry out the experience (a wick burner with an alcohol tank is not useful). The flame temperature of the Bunsen burner must first be adjusted until it is no longer yellowish and has a bluish hue to the body of the flame and a colorless envelope. Then the tip of a clean platinum or nichrome rod (an alloy of nickel and chromium), or failing that of glass, is impregnated with a small amount of the substance to be analyzed and, subsequently, the rod is introduced into the flame, trying to locate the tip in the least colored part of the flame.

The electrons in these will jump to higher levels from the lower levels and immediately (the time that an electron can be in higher levels is of the order of nanoseconds), they will emit energy in all directions in the form of electromagnetic radiation (light) of frequencies characteristics. This is what is called an atomic emission spectrum.

At a macroscopic level, it is observed that the sample, when heated in the flame, will provide a characteristic color to it. For example, if the tip of a rod is impregnated with a drop of Ca2 + solution (the previous notation indicates that it is the calcium ion, that is, the calcium atom that has lost two electrons), the color observed is brick red .

Which of the following elements is the smallest?
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The atomic radius of elements are used to estimate the sizes of elements. The atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state of metals.

To solve this problem we will obtain the atomic radius values of the given elements from a standard atomic radius table;

          Si          111 pm

           P          98 pm

          Cl          79 pm

            S           87pm

pm = picometer

We see that chlorine has the least atomic radius

Part b an "empty" container is not really empty if it contains air. how may moles of nitrogen are in an "empty" two-liter cola b
Sedbober [7]
<span>6.38x10^-2 moles
       First, let's determine how many moles of gas particles are in the two-liter container. The molar volume for 1 mole at 25C and 1 atmosphere is 24.465 liters/mole. So
   2 L / 24.465 L/mol = 0.081749438 mol
       Now air doesn't just consist of nitrogen. It also has oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon, water vapor, etc. and the total number of moles includes all of those other gasses. So let's multiply by the percentage of nitrogen in the atmosphere which is 78%
    0.081749438 mol * 0.78 = 0.063764562 mol.
        Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 6.38x10^-2 moles</span>
