Chapter 4, Problem 4.137MP

Some metals occur naturally in their elemental state while others occur as compounds in ores. Gold for instance, is found as the free metal; mercury is obtained by heating mercury(II) sulfide ore in oxygen; and zinc is obtained by heating zinc(ll) oxide ore with coke (carbon). Judging from their positions in the activity series, which of the metals silver, platinum, and chromium would probably be obtained by
(a) finding it in its elemental stare?
(b) heating its sulfide with oxygen?
(c) heating its oxide with coke?

When tin comes into contact with oxygen in the air, tin (IV) oxide, SnO2 is formed. Sn (s) + O2 (g) SnO2 (s) A piece of tin foil, 8.25 cm x 21.5 cm x 0.600 mm (d = 7.28 g / cm), exposed to oxygen. (A) Assuming the reaction of all tin, what is the mass of the oxidized tin foil? (B) Air is about 21% oxygen by volume (d = 1.309 g / L at 25 ° C, 1 atm). How many liters of air is required to fully react with tin foil?
(A) if both sentences are true,(B) if both sentences are false,(C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and(D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of iron changed from +2 to +3; thus, sulfur is a reducing agent. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of nitrogen was unchanged; thus, nitrogen is an oxidant. 2. In a redox reaction, the reducing agent is oxidized and it gains electrons. In a redox reaction, the oxidizing agent is reduced and it gains electrons. 3. Bending stress is also known as flexural stress. The test used in observing the mechanical strength of chocolate is the three-point bend test.  4. The flexural strength of materials may be expressed in Pascals.  Magnesium is more reactive than silver; therefore, magnesium corrodes faster than silver with the aid of air, oxygen, and sea water.
Magnesium is a valuable, lightweight metal. It is used as a structural metal and in alloys, in batteries, and in chemical synthesis. Although magnesium is plentiful in Earth's crust, it is cheaper to "mine" the metal from seawater. Magnesium forms the second most abundant cation in the sea (after sodium); there are about 1.30 g of magnesium in 1.00 kg of seawater. The method of obtaining magnesium from seawater employs all three types of reactions discussed in this chapter precipitation, acid-base, and redox reactions. In the first stage in the recovery of magnesium, limestone (CaCO3) is heated at high temperatures to produce quicklime, or calcium oxide (CaO): CaCO3(s) -----> CaO(s) + CO2a) When calcium oxide is treated with seawater, it forms calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)], which is slightly soluble and ionizes to give Ca2* and OH ions: CaO(s) + H2Om-> Ca (aq) +2 OH (aq) The surplus hydroxide ions cause the much less soluble magnesium hydroxide to precipitate: Mg (aq) + 2 OH (aq)…
