Why would pure iron not be suitable for a hip replacement joint

Chemistry

<span>Because iron is an element meaning that it only contains iron atoms, pure iron is easily oxidized meaning that oxygen readily reacts with the surface of the iron which causes it to rust. since the iron joint replacement is surrounded by wet tissues would it would rust and flake off which could cause serious problems.</span>

Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, is common in many households and is used as a bleaching agent. It usually comes in a dark, opaque bottl
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Hydrogen peroxide should be stored in

1) a cool environment

2) with amber bottles away from sunlight

3) with little drops of sodium phosphate

Explanation:

It has been confirmed that heat and light aids in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide according to the equation; 2H2O2→2 H2O + O2.

This means that hydrogen peroxide must be stored in a cool place. This will reduce its rate of decomposition. Secondly, it should be stored in amber bottles away from light since light also aids in its decomposition.

Thirdly, drops of sodium phosphate may be added to prevent its catalytic decomposition during storage.

Calculate ΔG o for the following reaction at 25°C: 3Mg(s) + 2Al3+(aq) ⇌ 3Mg2+(aq) + 2Al(s) Enter your answer in scientific notat
larisa [96]

Answer:

-3.7771 × 10² kJ/mol

Explanation:

Let's consider the following equation.

3 Mg(s) + 2 Al³⁺(aq) ⇌ 3 Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 Al(s)

We can calculate the standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) using the following expression.

ΔG° = ∑np . ΔG°f(p) - ∑nr . ΔG°f(r)

where,

n: moles

ΔG°f(): standard Gibbs free energy of formation

p: products

r: reactants

ΔG° = 3 mol × ΔG°f(Mg²⁺(aq)) + 2 mol × ΔG°f(Al(s)) - 3 mol × ΔG°f(Mg(s)) - 2 mol × ΔG°f(Al³⁺(aq))

ΔG° = 3 mol × (-456.35 kJ/mol) + 2 mol × 0 kJ/mol - 3 mol × 0 kJ/mol - 2 mol × (-495.67 kJ/mol)

ΔG° = -377.71 kJ = -3.7771 × 10² kJ

This is the standard Gibbs free energy per mole of reaction.

Which of the following is the best piece of laboratory glassware for preparing 500.0 mL of an aqueous solution of a solid?
Leni [432]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Volumetric flask  : A glass ware with round lower body with flat bottom and with thin cylindrical neck along with mark which indicates the specific volume filled to that mark.It is used in preparation of standard solution of compound with desired concentration with fixed volume.

Erlenmeyer flask : is a flask with conical shape with flat bottom used in titration  experiments to carry out reaction with fixed volume of solution.

Test tube : Small cylindrical tube with rounded bottom used to observe reaction in between reactant taken in small amount.

Graduated beaker : Laboratory glassware used measure larger volumes of solution or to mix or stir solutions and liquids.

Graduated cylinder : Laboratory thin cylindrical glassware with accurate marking of volume used to measure an accurate volume of solutions or liquids required in an experiment.

<em><u>Volumetric flask</u></em> is the best piece of laboratory glassware for preparing 500.0 mL of an aqueous solution of a solid
