Answer:

Platinum is used as a catalytic converter

Explanation:

At present, internal combustion vehicles are equipped with an element called catalytic converter, which is one of the most important components for the control of emissions of polluting gases resulting from combustion produced by engines. Its main function is to transform the polluting gases resulting from the burning of fuel into other gases that are more environmentally friendly. This element is located under the vehicle along the exhaust system pipe after the oxygen sensor.

There are different types of catalytic converters, but modern vehicles are equipped with three-way catalytic converters, referring to the three kinds of pollutant gases that must be reduced (CO, HC and NOX). The converter uses two types of catalysts, one of reduction and another of oxidation. Both consist of a ceramic structure covered with normally <u>platinum</u>, rhodium and palladium metal. The main idea was to create a structure that exposes the catalyst surface to the maximum against the flow of exhaust gases, also minimizing the amount of catalyst required since it is very expensive.

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Neon

Explanation:

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹ or [Ne]  3s¹

The outer most shell is the 3s¹.

For this atom to achieve stability, if it loses the electron in the 3s shell, it would resemble an inert element with a complete octet configuration. Therefore, the atom would be like:

                   1s² 2s² 2p⁶ which is the configuration of Ne

How many moles of chromium(iii) nitrate are produced when chromium reacts with 0.85 moles of lead(iv) nitrate to produce chromiu
Alexxandr [17]
The  moles  of  chromium (iii)  nitrate  produced  is  calculated  as   follows

write  the  equation  for  reaction

 3  Pb(NO3)2  +  2 Cr  =  2 Cr(NO3)3  +  3  Pb

by  use  of  mole  ratio  between  Pb(NO3)2  to  Cr(NO3)3  which  is  3  :  2  the  moles  of  Cr(NO3)3  is therefore  
=  0.85  x2  /3  =  0.57   moles

Use coulomb's law to calculate the ionization energy in kj/mol of an atom composed of a proton and an electron separated by 185.
Tems11 [23]
Coulomb's law mathematically is:
F = kQ₁Q₂/r²
we integrate this with respect to distance to obtain the expression for energy:
E = kQ₁Q₂/r; where k is the Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹; Q are the charges, r is the seperation
Charge on proton = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
E = (9 x 10⁹ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) / (185 x 10⁻¹²)
E = 1.24 x 10⁻¹⁸ Joules per proton/electron pair
Number of pairs in one mole = 6.02 x 10²³
Energy = 6.02 x 10²³ x 1.24 x 10⁻¹⁸
= 746.5 kJ

8090 [49]

Answer:

The information that can be used to determine which mixture has the higher proportion of KCl IS INFORMATION ABOUT THE MASS OF CHLORINE IN EACH MIXTURE, THIS INFORMATION CAN BE OBTAINED BY USING THE LAW OF DEFINITE PROPORTION.

Explanation:

The law of definite proportion states that the chemical composition by mass of a chemical compound is always constant. For instance, a chemical compound that is made up of two elements will always contain the same proportions of the constituent elements regardless of the quantity of chemical that was used.

Using the law of definite proportion, we can determine the proportion of sodium and chlorine in NaCl and the proportion of potassium and chlorine in KCl if the mass of chlorine that was used is known. Based on the results obtained, one can easily determine the mixtures that has higher proportion of KCl.
