It took many of the metals several minutes to begin to react. Once the reaction was initiated, several of these metals continued

to react quite vigorously. What was the most probable cause of this delayed reaction? (Hint: The metal getting hot isn't the only reason.)

Answer:

Passivation of Oxide layers of the metals.

Explanation:

Passivation is a non-electrolytic finishing process that makes most metals rust-resistant. The prosses removes free iron from the surface by using either nitric or citric acid. When this happens, it results to an inert, protective oxide layer that is very slow or less likely to chemically react with air and cause corrosion.

Passivity caused many of the metals several minutes to begin to react. Once the finishing process that makes metals less likely to react was eroded, reaction was initiated vigorously.

Use the conversion factor 1amu=6.66054 x 10^-24 to answer the following questions.. . a) 1.674 x 10^-24 g of neutrons is how man
Wewaii [24]
A.) The conversion factor is 1 amu = 1.66054 ^{-24}g

To know how many amu in 1.674x10^{-24}g grams of neutrons:
1.674x10^{-24}g ( \frac{x (amu) }{ 1.66054x10^{-24} g)}

=1.00811 amu

b.) The mass in grams of one lithium ion which has an atomic weight of 6.94 amu.

6.94 amu (\frac{6.66054 ^{-24} g}{1 amu}) = 4.62241x10 ^{23} g

c.) How many amu in 6.492x10^-23g potassium?

6.492x10^{-23}g ( \frac{x (amu) }{ 1.66054x10^{-24}g }) = 39.0957 amu

Gordon wrote this passage about mechanical waves for his physics class. But he got most of his facts mixed up. Only one sentence
Zinaida [17]

Answer: The correct answer is "Mechanical waves can apply pressure to and push on objects in their path".

Explanation:

Mechanical wave is wave in which there is an oscillation of the wave. The energy is transferred through a medium. Mechanical waves can apply pressure to and push on their path. Only the energy is transferred not the matter.

Mechanical waves are of three types: Transverse wave, Longitudinal wave and Surface wave. The examples of the mechanical wave are sound wave and water wave.

Sound is a pressure disturbance which travels through a medium. It consists of compression and rarefaction.

The mechanical waves need a medium for their propagation. They travel faster in denser medium.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).

What is the net ionic equation of the reaction of MgCl2 with NaOH? Express your answer as a chemical equation. View Available Hi
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Net ionic equation for the reaction between MgCl₂ and NaOH in water:

\rm Mg^{2+}\; (aq) + 2\; OH^{-}\; (aq) \to Mg(OH)_2\;(s).

Net ionic equation for the reaction between MgSO₄ and BaCl₂ in water:

\rm {Ba}^{2+}\; (aq) + {SO_4}^{2-}\;(aq) \to BaSO_4\; (s).

Explanation:

Start by finding the chemical equations for each reaction:

MgCl₂ reacts with NaOH to form Mg(OH)₂ and NaCl. This reaction is a double decomposition reaction (a.k.a. double replacement reaction, salt metathesis reaction.) This reaction is feasible because one of the products, Mg(OH)₂, is weakly soluble in water and exists as a solid precipitate.

\rm MgCl_2\; (aq) + 2\; NaOH\; (aq)\to Mg(OH)_2 \; (s) + 2\; NaCl\; (aq).

MgSO₄ reacts with BaCl₂ in a double decomposition reaction to produce BaSO₄ and MgCl₂. Similarly, the solid product BaSO₄ makes this reaction is feasible.

\rm MgSO_4\; (aq) + BaCl_2\; (aq) \to BaSO_4\; (s) + MgCl_2\; (aq).

How to rewrite a chemical equation to produce a net ionic equation?

  1. Rewrite all reactants and products that ionizes completely in the solution as ions.
  2. Eliminate ions that exist on both sides of the equation to produce a net ionic equation.

Typical classes of chemicals that ionize completely in water:

  • Soluble salts,
  • Strong acids, and
  • Strong bases.

Keep the formula of salts that are not soluble in water, weak acids, weak bases, and water unchanged.

Take the first reaction as an example, note the coefficients:

  • MgCl₂ is a salt and is soluble in water. Each unit of MgCl₂ can be written as \rm Mg^{2+} and \rm 2\; Cl^{-}.
  • NaOH is a strong base. Each unit of NaOH can be written as \rm Na^{+} and \rm OH^{-}.
  • Mg(OH)₂ is a weak base and should not be written.
  • NaCl is a salt and is soluble in water. Each unit of NaCl can be written as \rm Na^{+} and \rm Cl^{-}.

\rm Mg^{2+} + 2\; Cl^{-} + 2\; Na^{+} + 2\; OH^{-} \to Mg(OH)_2\;(s) + 2\; Na^{+} + 2\; Cl^{-}.

Ions on both sides of the equation:

  • \rm 2\; Cl^{-}, and
  • \rm 2\; Na^{+}.

Add the state symbols:

\rm Mg^{2+}\; (aq) + 2\; OH^{-}\; (aq) \to Mg(OH)_2\;(s).

For the second reaction:

\rm MgSO_4\; (aq) + BaCl_2\; (aq) \to BaSO_4\; (s) + MgCl_2\; (aq).

\rm Mg^{2+} + 2\; {SO_4}^{2-} + Ba^{2+} + 2\; Cl^{-} \to BaSO_4\; (s) + Mg^{2+} + 2\; Cl^{-}.

\rm Ba^{2+}\; (aq) + {SO_4}^{2-}\; (aq) \to BaSO_4\; (s).
