Answer:

To increase surface area of the platinum electrode which results in superior quality and action of the electrodes as opposed to normal platinum electrodes.

Explanation:

Platinization of Platinum is the process of covering platinum electrode with a layer of platinum black. Platinum black is a finally divided form of platinum, optimized for catalysing the addition of hydrogen to unsaturated organic compound. This increases the surface area of the platinum electrodes and therefore exhibits action superior to that of normal electrodes.

A 25.0 g sample of an alloy was heated to 100.0 oC and dropped into a beaker containing 90 grams of water at 25.32 oC. The tempe

Answer:

The specific heat of the alloy C_{a} = 0.37 \frac{KJ}{Kg K}

Explanation:

Mass of an alloy m_{a} = 25 gm

Initial temperature T_{a} = 100°c = 373 K

Mass of water m_{w} = 90 gm

Initial temperature of water T_{w} = 25.32 °c = 298.32 K

Final temperature T_{f} = 27.18 °c = 300.18 K

From energy balance equation

Heat lost by alloy = Heat gain by water

m_{a} C_{a}  [T_{a} - T_{f}] = m_{w} C_w (T_{f} -T_{w} )

25 × C_{a} × ( 373 - 300.18 ) = 90 × 4.2 (300.18 - 298.32)

C_{a} = 0.37 \frac{KJ}{Kg K}

This is the specific heat of the alloy.

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Lewis acid- Fe3+

Lewis base- water molecule

Explanation:

Acids and bases have been defined in diverse ways. There have been definitions put forward by Arrhenius, Brownstead and Lowry as well as Lewis. Each definition his useful in its own way.

Lewis acids are lone pair acceptors such as metal ions. This implies that in the particular instance of this reaction, Fe3+ is the lewis acid.

Similarly, a Lewis base is a lone pair donor, all ligands are lone pair donors since they donate one or more lone pairs of electrons to Lewis acids. In the particular instance of this reaction, the Lewis base is the water molecule.

Luis is helping his parents paint a border around the walls of a room. He uses a stencil to repeat the same design on each wall
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Polymerization.

Explanation:

Polymerization can be defined as a type of chemical reaction in which molecules that are relatively small in size chemically combine to form a huge chain of molecules.

Simply stated, polymerization refers to a chemical reaction where two or more smaller molecules react to produce larger molecules of the same network or repetitive structural units.

In polymerization, the relatively small molecules are generally referred to as monomers while the larger molecules they produce are known as polymers.

Polymerization is given by the chemical formula;

nA -----> A(n).

In this scenario, Luis uses a stencil to repeat the same design on each wall to form one long grapevine with a bunch of grapes every foot along its length.

Hence, the type of chemical reaction this best model is polymerization because it involved repeating the same design (monomers) to form a long grapevine with a bunch of grapes (polymers).

When 4.41g of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) react with 9.25g of barium hydroxide, water and insoluble barium phosphate form. [T/I-7] a
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

2 H₃PO₄(aq) + 3 Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6 H₂O(l)

Explanation:

Let's consider the unbalanced equation that occurs when phosphoric acid reacts with barium hydroxide to form water and barium phosphate. This is a neutralization reaction.

H₃PO₄(aq) + Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + H₂O(l)

We will balance it using the trial and error method.

First, we will balance Ba atoms by multiplying Ba(OH)₂ by 3 and P atoms by multiplying H₃PO₄ by 2.

2 H₃PO₄(aq) + 3 Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + H₂O(l)

Finally, we will get the balanced equation by multiplying H₂O by 6.

2 H₃PO₄(aq) + 3 Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6 H₂O(l)

An unknown element, x, reacts with lithium to form the compound li2x. in other compounds this element also can accommodate up to
aliina [53]
<span>Answer Choices: 
A) Ca 
B) O 
C) Cl 
D) s</span>

<span>the formula is Li2X, so the charge on the X anion must be 2- 

the ion is X2- elements in group 6A form monatomic ions with a 2- charge. In your list that is O or Po 

If the element can accomodate 12 electrons then it can have an expanded octet. Only elements in period 3 and higher can have expanded octets. 

So you are looking for a group 6A element in period 3 or higher.
cA would not intereact with LI BECAUSE ITS A METAL The only element that fits the bill is D) S</span>
