Pure platinum is too soft to be used in jewelry because it scratches easily. To increase the hardness so that it can be used in

jewelry, platinum is combined with other metals to form an alloy. To determine the amount of platinum in an alloy, a 8.528 g sample of an alloy containing platinum and cobalt is reacted with excess nitric acid to form 2.49 g of cobalt(II) nitrate. Calculate the mass percent of platinum in the alloy.

Answer:

percentage mass of platinum in the alloy ≈ 90.60 %

Explanation:

The alloy is 8.528 g sample of an alloy containing platinum and cobalt . The alloy react with excess nitric acid to form cobalt(ii) nitrate . Platinum is resistant to acid so it will definitely not react with the acid only the cobalt metal in the alloy will react with the acid.

The chemical reaction can be represented as follows:

Co (s) + HNO₃ (aq) → Co(NO₃)₂ (aq) +  NO₂ (l) + H₂O (l)

The balanced equation

Co (s) + 4HNO₃ (aq) → Co(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO₂ (l) + 2H₂O (l)

Cobalt is the limiting reactant

atomic mass of cobalt = 58.933 g/mol

Molar mass of Co(NO₃)₂ = 58.933 + 14 × 2 + 16 × 6 = 58.933 + 28 + 96 = 182.933  g

58.933 g of cobalt produce 182.933  g of  Co(NO₃)₂

? gram of cobalt will produce 2.49 g of Co(NO₃)₂

cross multiply

grams of cobalt that will react = (58.933 × 2.49)/182.933

grams of cobalt that will react = 146.74317000/182.933

grams of cobalt that will react= 0.8021689362 g

grams of cobalt that will react = 0.802 g

mass of platinum in the alloy  = 8.528 g - 0.802 g = 7.726 g

percentage  mass of platinum in the alloy = 7.726/8.528 × 100 = 772.600/8.528 = 90 .595 %

percentage mass of platinum in the alloy ≈ 90.60 %

It takes 330 j of energy to raise the temperature of 14.6 g of benzene from 21.0 °c to 28.7 °c at constant pressure. What is the
Akimi4 [234]

The mathematical expression for heat capacity at constant pressure is given as:

Q=n\times C_{p}\times \Delta T   (1)

where, Q = heat capacity

C_{p} =  molar heat capacity at constant pressure

\Delta T = change in temperature

n = number of moles

Therefore, \Delta T = 28.7^{o}C-21^{o}C

= 7.7 ^{o}C

Number of moles  =\frac{given mass in g}{molar mass}

= \frac{14.6 g }{78.11 g/mol}

= 0.186 mole

Put the values in formula (1)

330 J=0.186 mole\times C_{p}\times (7.7 ^{o}C+ 273) (conversion of degree Celsius into kelvin)

C_{p} = \frac{330 J}{0.186 mole\times 280.7 K}

= \frac{330 J}{52.2102 mole K}

= 6.32 J /mol K

Hence, molar heat capacity of benzene at constant pressure  = 6.32 Jmol^{-1} K^{-1}

Cannon-Bard theory

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>The idea that an emotion-arousing stimulus is simultaneously routed to the cortex and to the sympathetic nervous system is central to the Cannon-Band theory.</u></em>
  • Cannon-Bard theory states that we feel emotions and experience physiological reactions such as sweating, trembling, and muscle tension simultaneously.
  • The theory argues that we experience physiological arousal and emotion at the same time. The theory gives more attention to the role of thought or outward behavior as compared to James-Lange.

Zinc is to be electroplated onto both sides of an iron sheet that is 20 cm2 as a galvanized sacrificial anode. It is desired to
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The time required for the coating is 105 s

Explanation:

Zinc undergoes reduction reaction and absorbs two (2) electron ions.

The expression for the mass change at electrode (m_{ch}) is given as :

\frac{m_{ch}}{M} ZF = It

where;

M = molar mass

Z = ions charge at electrodes

F = Faraday's constant

I = current

A = area

t = time

also; (m_{ch}) = (Ad) \rho ; replacing that into above equation; we have:

\frac{(Ad) \rho}{M} ZF = It  ---- equation (1)

where;

A = area

d = thickness

\rho = density

From the above equation (1); The time required for coating can be calculated as;

[ \frac{20 cm^2 *0.0025 cm*7.13g/cm^3}{65.38g/mol}*2 \frac{moles\ of \ electrons}{mole \ of \ Zn} * 9.65*10^4 \frac{C}{mole \ of \ electrons }  ] = (20 A) t

t = \frac{2100}{20}

= 105 s

Why it is impossible for an isolated atom to exist in the hybridized state?
kakasveta [241]

Hybridization refers to the mixing of atomic orbitals in an atom. The number of hybrid orbitals needs to be equal to the number of orbitals that have involved in prior to mixing.  

The isolated atoms cannot prevail in a hybridized state as the atom in an isolated state do not form any kind of bond with the other atom, due to which the atomic orbitals do not go through the process of hybridization.
