Elemental zinc displaces the copper

Explanation:

In this reaction the zinc added to the copper sulfate solution has displaced the copper in the compound.

This is a single displacement reaction.

                      Zn + CuSO₄     →   ZnSO₄    +  Cu

This is the reaction of the recycling process.

The reaction is driving by the positions of the elements in the reactivity series of metal.

  • In a single displacement reaction, an atom higher up in the activity series displaces another that is lower.
  • Zinc is higher that copper in the activity series and it reacts with the sulfate.
  • It will then push the copper out as the solid product in the solution.
  • Elements higher up in the series are more reactive

Alex_Xolod [135]
When preparing diluted solutions from concentrated solutions , we can use the following equation;
c1v1 =c2v2
Where c1 and v1 are the concentration and volume of the concentrated solution
c2 is the concentration of the diluted solution to be prepared
v2 is the volume of the diluted solution
Substituting the values;
12.0 M x v1 = 0.339 M x 100 mL
v1 = 2.825 mL needs to be taken from the stock solution

Determine net ionic equations, if any, occuring when aqueous solutions of the following reactants are mixed. Select "True" or "F
nirvana33 [79]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 1:</u> The correct answer is False.

<u>For 2:</u> The correct answer is True.

<u>For 3:</u> The correct answer is True.

<u>For 4:</u> The correct answer is False.

<u>For 5:</u> The correct answer is True.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.  If no net ionic equation is formed, it is said that no reaction has occurred.

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation. They are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form. Solids, liquids and gases do not exist as ions.

  • <u>For 1:</u> Lead(II) nitrate and sodium chloride

The chemical equation for the reaction of lead (II) nitrate and sodium chloride is given as:

Pb(NO_3)_2(aq.)+2NaCl(aq.)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq.)

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

Pb^{2+}(aq.)+2NO_3^-(aq.)+2Na^+(aq.)+2Cl^-(aq.)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)+2Na^+(aq.)+2NO_3^-(aq.)

As, sodium and nitrate ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation and are spectator ions.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

Pb^{2+}(aq.)+Cl^-(aq.)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)

Hence, the correct answer is False.

  • <u>For 2:</u> Sodium bromide and hydrochloric acid

The chemical equation for the reaction of sodium bromide and hydrochloric acid is given as:

NaBr(aq.)+HCl(aq.)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HBr(aq.)

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

Na^{+}(aq.)+Br^-(aq.)+H^+(aq.)+Cl^-(aq.)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+Cl^-(aq.)+H^+(aq.)+Br^-(aq.)

There are no spectator ions in the equation. So, the above reaction is the net ionic equation.

Hence, the correct answer is True.

  • <u>For 3:</u> Nickel (II) chloride and lead(II) nitrate

The chemical equation for the reaction of lead (II) nitrate and nickel (II) chloride is given as:

Pb(NO_3)_2(aq.)+NiCl_2(aq.)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)+Ni(NO_3)_2(aq.)

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

Pb^{2+}(aq.)+2NO_3^-(aq.)+Ni^{2+}(aq.)+2Cl^-(aq.)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)+Ni^{2+}(aq.)+2NO_3^-(aq.)

As, nickel and nitrate ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation and are spectator ions.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

Pb^{2+}(aq.)+Cl^-(aq.)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)

Hence, the correct answer is True.

  • <u>For 4:</u> Magnesium chloride and sodium hydroxide

The chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium chloride and sodium hydroxide is given as:

MgCl_2(aq.)+2NaOH(aq.)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)+2NaCl(aq.)

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

Mg^{2+}(aq.)+2Cl^-(aq.)+2Na^+(aq.)+2OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)+2Na^+(aq.)+2Cl^-(aq.)

As, sodium and chloride ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation and are spectator ions.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

Mg^{2+}(aq.)+OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)

Hence, the correct answer is False.

  • <u>For 5:</u> Ammonium sulfate and barium nitrate

The chemical equation for the reaction of ammonium sulfate and barium nitrate is given as:

(NH_4)_2SO_4(aq.)+Ba(NO_3)_2(aq.)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2NH_4NO_3(aq.)

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

2NH_4^{+}(aq.)+SO_4^{2-}(aq.)+Ba^{2+}(aq.)+2NO_3^-(aq.)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2NH_4^+(aq.)+2NO_3^-(aq.)

As, ammonium and nitrate ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation and are spectator ions.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

Ba^{2+}(aq.)+SO_4^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)

Hence, the correct answer is True.

Explain using the particles theory what happens when steam in the bathroom hits a cold surface such as a mirror
Aleks04 [339]
<span>The fog in the mirror is the condensation of water vapor as it touches a colder surface. When you are running cold water you just cool down everything around it. Now the vapor coming from the hot shower will mostly condense right there and will not reach the mirror.</span>

A family of four lives in a three-bedroom house and uses an average of 900 kWh of electricity per month. The family cools their
agasfer [191]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The percentage of the family’s total annual electricity that is used to run the two air conditioners for the three summer months = 19.4 %</h2>

Explanation:

Average electricity consumed per month = 900 kWh

The family cools their house for three months during the summer with two window-unit air conditioners

The power consumed by one window-unit air conditioners = 350 kWh

The power consumed by two window-unit air conditioners = 350(2) = 700 kWh

Power consumed for two air conditioners for the three summer months = 700 (3) = 2100 kWh

Total power consumed for 1 year = 900 (12) = 10800kWh

The percentage of the family’s total annual electricity that is used to run the two air conditioners for the three summer months = \frac{2100}{10800}100 = 19.4 %
