Why do most metals exist in nature as minerals rather than as pure metallic elements?

Answers

Answer 1
Because most metals are susceptible to oxidation, having low electronegativities, prefering to be in a cationic form vs. ... Only metals such as gold, which is resistant to oxidation, will be found pure in nature.

A lump of chromium (Cr) has a specific heat of 0.448J/g℃. It is heated to a temperature of 89.5℃ and placed into a calorimeter with 75.2 mL of water at 20.5℃. After stirring, the final temperature of the water, Cr metal, and calorimeter is 27.4℃. What is the mass of Cr metal?

Answers

Answer:

Mass of Cr= 78 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat of Cr = 0.448 j/g.°C

Initial  temperature of Cr lump = 89.5°C

Mass of water = 75.2 mL or 75.2 g

Initial temperature of water = 20.5°C

Final temperature of water = 27.4°C

Mass of Cr = ?

Solution:

when we placed the lump of Cr metal into water heat lost by limp is equal to the heat gain by water.

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 j/g.°C

Q = mcΔT

Q = 75.2 g× 4.184 j/g.°C × (27.4°C - 20.5°C)

Q = 2171 J

Heat lost by Cr lump is -2171 J. Now we will calculate the mass of Cr.

Q = mcΔT

-2171 J = m ×0.448 j/g.°C × ( 27.4°C- 89.5°C)

-2171 J = m × -27.821 j/g

m = -2171 J/-27.821 j/g

m = 78 g

Reggie made a(n) _____. a. routine decision b. impulse decision c. daily decision d. regular decision Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answers

Answer:

b. impulse decision

Explanation:

In this scenario, Reggie suddenly decided to drive to the Grand Canyon, because he had never seen it. He didn't even have a map showing him how to get there! Reggie made an impulse decision.

An impulse decision can be defined as a type of decision an individual makes without having a clear thought about the decision. Thus, an impulsive decision is strictly based on an individual's inclination, instinct, whim or sudden desire to do something.

This ultimately implies that, decisions that are made spontaneously without due diligence and considerations refer to an impulse decision.

Hence, Reginald's decision is an impulse decision because he suddenly decided to drive to go see a place (Grand Canyon) he hasn't seen before, even though he had no map to use as a guide or direction.

they each have the same density?

Density

Liquids

Introduction

You probably know that when solid objects are placed in liquid, they can sink or float. But did you know that liquids can also sink or float? In fact, it is possible to stack different layers of liquids on top of one another. The key is that all the different layers must have different densities. You can stack them by picking several liquids with a range of densities or by varying the density of one liquid by adding chemicals such as sugar or salt to it. If you choose colored liquids or add food coloring to each layer, you can even create a whole rainbow of colors in one single glass! Want to see for yourself? In this science activity you will stack several liquids—one by one—and create a colorful density column!

Background

Whether an object sinks or floats depends on its density compared with the density of the liquid into which it is dropped. All types of matter—solids as well as liquids—are made up of many different atoms. Depending on the mass of these atoms, their size and the way they are arranged, different substances will have different densities. The density is characteristic for each individual compound and defined as the mass of a compound divided by its volume. In other words, the more matter there is in a certain amount of volume, the denser a substance is. One cubic centimeter of rock, for example, is much heavier than a cubic centimeter of wood. This is because there is much more matter in the same volume of rock compared with the wood.

ADVERTISEMENT

Liquids can also have different densities. Freshwater, for example, has a density of about one gram per cubic centimeter at room temperature. Any compound—liquid or solid—that has a higher density than water will sink whereas substances with a lower density than that will float. You can test that for yourself by gathering several liquids that you have in your kitchen such as vegetable oil, corn syrup, dishwashing soap, water, rubbing alcohol and more. Which one of these do you think will sink or float in water? Find out in this activity!

Materials

Glass or cup

Water

Food coloring

Scissors

Rubber band (wide)

Small piece of wax

Popsicle stick

At least two small, clear jars or transparent mini cups (two ounces) with lids

Permanent marker

Masking tape

Three tablespoons

Dark corn syrup

Vegetable oil

Penny

Paper towels

Rubbing alcohol, dishwashing soap and other liquids (optional)

Sugar (optional)

Preparation

Gather all your materials at a workspace that can tolerate spills of all the liquids.

Fill a cup with tap water and add a couple of drops of food coloring to the water.

Ask an adult to help you cut and prepare small pieces (about 0.5 by 0.5 centimeter) of the rubber band, the popsicle stick and the wax.

Place the two empty jars in front of you (without the lids) and label them “1” and “2” with a piece of tape and the permanent marker.

Procedure

Take a clean tablespoon and pour two tablespoons of corn syrup in jar 1.

With the second tablespoon, carefully pour two tablespoons of colored water into jar 1 on top of the corn syrup. What happens to the water on top of the corn syrup? Does it mix or stay separate?

Use the third clean tablespoon to pour two tablespoons of vegetable oil in jar “1” on top of the colored water. Do you see mixing of the liquids? What happens to the oil? Does it float on top or sink to the bottom?

Now take empty jar 2 and add the same liquids—but in reverse order. Start by pouring in two tablespoons of vegetable oil.

The density of a pure liquid at 25 degrees Celsius was calculated by determining the mass and volume of a sample of the liquid. A student measured the mass of a clean, dry 25.00 mL volumetric flask, filled the flask to its calibration mark with the liquid, and then measured the mass of the flask and liquid. The recorded measurements are shown in the table above. On the basis of this information, to how many significant figures should the density of the liquid be reported?

Answers

Answer

The density of the liquid is 0.82 g/mL.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of empty flask = 18.990 g

Mass of flask + liquid = 39.439 g

Volume of liquid = 25 mL

Density of liquid =..?

Next, we shall determine the mass of the liquid. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of empty flask = 18.990 g

Mass of flask + liquid = 39.439 g

Mass of liquid =.?

Mass of liquid = (Mass of flask + liquid) – (Mass of empty flask)

Mass of liquid = 39.439 – 18.990

Mass of liquid = 20.503 g

Finally, we shall determine the density of the liquid as follow:

Mass of liquid = 20.503 g

Volume of liquid = 25 mL

Density of liquid =..?

Density = mass / volume

Density of liquid = 20.503 / 25

Density of liquid = 0.82 g/mL

KJ Question 6 options: a) Not enough information is given b) -2822.2 kJ c) +1411.1 kJ d) -705.55 kJ e) -1411.1 kJ

Answers

Answer:  d) -705.55 kJ

Explanation:

Heat of reaction is the change of enthalpy during a chemical reaction with all substances in their standard states.

[tex]2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)[/tex] [tex]\Delta H=+1411.1kJ[/tex]

Reversing the reaction, changes the sign of [tex]\Delta H[/tex]

[tex]C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta H=-1411.1kJ[/tex]

On multiplying the reaction by [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] , enthalpy gets half:

[tex]0.5C_2H_4(g)+1.5O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)[/tex][tex]\Delta H=\frac{1}{2}\times -1411.1kJ=-705.55kJ/mol[/tex]

Thus the enthalpy change for the given reaction is -705.55kJ
