The buildings in this old mine are made of metal. You can see over 100 years, the silver color of the buildings has changed. The

red-brown color is rust. What does this color change tell us about the metal? A) The metal is malleable. B) The metal reacts in the presence of air and water. C) Acid rain has damaged the building over the years. D) The metal is a good conductor of heat and electricity.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)

Iron in presence of moisture reacts with oxygen gas to from iron(III) oxide of red brown color often termed as rust.

Building material used up in min building is metal which which span of time changed its color to rust formation. Therefore this means rust or change in color is due to the iron metal which reacts with oxygen and water present in the air.

draw the lewis structure for CO2, H2CO3, HCO3-, and CO3 2-.Rank these in order of increasing attraction to water molecules. Expl
gavmur [86]

Answer:

The structures are attached in file.

Hydrogen bonding and intermolecular forces is the reason for ranks allotted.

Explanation:

In determining Lewis structure, we calculate the overall number of valence electrons available for bonding.  Making carbon (the least electronegative atom) the central atom in the structure, we allocate valence electrons until each atom has achieved stability.

In order of decreasing affinity to water molecules:

CO_{3}^{2-}  > HCO_{3} ^{2-} > H_{2} CO_{3}

This is due to the fact that the CO_{3}^{2-}will accept protons more readily than the bicarbonate ion, HCO_{3} ^{2-}. Carbonic acid, H_{2} CO_{3} will not accept any more protons, hence it is the least attractive to water molecule, even though soluble.

Calcium forms ions with a charge of +2. Iodine forms ions with a charge of -1. Which of the following would represent an ionic c
astra-53 [7]

 The   formula that would represent an ionic  compound  that is composed of calcium and iodide ions  is   CaI2

 Explanation

Ionic compound  CaI₂ is formed  when Calcium form cation ( <em>a positively charged ion</em>) by losing 2 electrons while two iodine atoms form  anion ( <em>a negatively charged ion</em>)  by  gaining one electron each.

When writing down   formula of ionic compound, the formula  of cation  is written  first followed by anion  formula. therefore  Ca is written  first  followed by I.

The numeric subscript 2 after I(iodine) indicate that 2 atoms of iodine are involved  in bonding.

The temperature of a star is 6000K and its luminosity is 1000. Which type of star is it?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Its probably none of those.

Explanation:

White dwarf temperatures can exceed 100,000 Kelvin according to NASA (that's about 179,500 degrees Fahrenheit). Despite these sweltering temperatures, white dwarfs have a low luminosity as they're so small in size according to NMSU.
