Will gold react with acid in an orange juice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NO!!!!

The only acid that Gold reacts with is 'Aqua Regis;, which is a mixture of Hydrochloric Acid and Nitric Acid.

How much mass is in 1 mole of sulfur atoms?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Remember the Equation

Moles = mass(g) / Ar (Relative Atomic Mass)

Algebraically rearranging

mass(g) = moles X Ar

We have 1 mole and from the Periodic Table the Atomic Mass of Sulphur is '32'.

Hence substituting

mass(g) = 1 moles X 32

mass = 32 g .

Is hydrogen chloride an ion?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NO!!!

Hydrogen chloride is a compound gas.

It readily dissolves in water to form hydrochloric acid. On dissolution it form the hydrogen ions and chloride ions in the aqueous solution.

What is the syombol for the element Sodium?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sodium symbol is 'Na'.

This comes from the Latin for sodium , which is 'NADIUM'.

Similary Potassium , symbol is 'K' . which comes from Latin for potassium , which is 'KALIUM'.

Historically the hydroxides of these metals where known as ' Caustic Soda' , and 'Caustic Potash'.

Why a sulfur is a metal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

WRONG!!!! Sulphur is NOT a metal. Elemental sulphur is a non-metal.

Does ferrous sulfate have sulfur?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

YES!!! As the name 'sulphate' suggests, there is a sulphur component.

Ferrous sulphate has the formula FeSO4 .

This formula tells us that there are: -

1 atom of iron(Fe)

1 atom of sulphur (S)

4 atoms of oxygen (O4)

NB There is also a Ferric Sulphate ; formula ( Fe2(SO4)3)

This formula tells us that there are ;-

2 atoms of iron (Fe2)

3 atoms (3 x 1) of sulphur

12 atoms (3 x 4) of oxygen .

What is francium a compound or element?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Francium is a GROUP 1 metallic ELEMENT.

It is a the bottom of Group 1 . Its partner elements in the Group are, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, & caesium.

They all react with water with increasing violence. to the point of explositivity.

Francium is also Radio-Active, so you will not find it in any school lab. or even industrial labs. It is probably kept in a very special nuclear research lab. under very controlled conditions.

It was discovered by Marie Curie, in France, hence its name.

How does the respiratory system take the oxygen that is inhaled into your body?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The respiritory system is you nose, throat, trachaea, and lungs.

You breath in (Inhale) through your nose. Here dust particles are removed .

Then it passes into the throat and tracheae, where it moistened and brought to body temperature. In the lungs the oxygen part of the air, brought to combine with the blood, and at the same time , carbon dioxide is released from the blood, back into the lungs. We then exhale(breath out) the carbon dioxide, together with the unreacted atmospheric gases, such as nitrogen.

An amount of carbon dioxide remains in the lungs in order to control the breathing rate.

Does sulfur differ from other nonmetals?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes!! Of course it does.

Reason, it is an element, with its given number of protons.

Other metals and non-metals will be different because they have their own number of protons.

The number of protons defines an element.

Is it true that Sodium Chloride is an example of an ionic bond?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. Sodium (Na) is a metal, and chlorine (Cl) is a nonmetal, and an ionic bond is a bond between a metal and a nonmetal.

Added:

Yrs, this is true.

Sodium an alkali metal, donates one electron to chlorine to become the cation,

Na +

Chlorine, a halogen and a nonmetal, accepts one electron from sodium to become the anion,

Cl -

Opposites attract in elemental interactions, so,

Na + and Cl -

are bound together in the ionic compound,

NaCl

Is sulfur a fossil fuel?

User Avatar

No, sulfur is a native element or mineral, not a fossil fuel.

Is bromine a diatomic atom?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NO!!!!

Bromine is a diatomic molecule.

The word ' diatomic' means 'two atoms.

So when you write ' Is bromine a diatomic atom '. you erroneously mean ' Is bromins a two-atom atom, which is a nonsense. Two or more atoms combined is a molecule.

What is the combining form for nitrogen?

How did edepression era culture show both hope and the difficulties of everyday life?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Depression era culture showed hope through initiatives like the New Deal which aimed to provide relief and recovery from economic hardships. On the other hand, everyday life was marked by challenges such as high unemployment, poverty, and struggles to make ends meet, reflected in cultural expressions like music, literature, and art that depicted these struggles.

Why is sodium hydroxide written as NaOH?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The positive ions are written first .

The negative ions are written at the end.

NaOH

is Na^(+) positive ion so is written first.

'OH^(-)' is the negative ion so is written last.

Similarly with other hydroxides.

Similarly with acids.

H2SO4

2H^(+) is written first

SO4^(2-) is written last.

Is fluorine a nonmetal metal or transition metal?

Asked by Wiki User

Fluorine is a non-metallic yellow poisonous gas .

How many protons neutrons and electrons are in chlorine 39?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The number of protons and electrons is always the same as the atomic number, which for chlorine is 17. The number of neutrons is always the mass number minus the atomic number, which for this isotope is also 17.

Difference between the state symbols aq and l?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

(aq)- aqueous: Is when you dissolve something into water

Ex. NaCl(s) into Na+(aq) Cl- (aq)

-So it changes from a solid into aqueous ions.

-Acids are mainly aqueous

(l)- Liquid: On a molecular level the molecules of a liquid are arranged, or ordered somewhere between the order of a solid and the randomness of a gas.

-The main difference would be that at an aqueous state, something is already dissolved into it to create a different substance

What is the number of protons an electrons in the oxygen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An oxygen atom contains 8 protons, 8 neutrons and 8 electrons.

From 8 protons and 8 neutrons ; 8 + 8 = 16 the atomic mass of oxygern.

The this the most common isotope of oxygen .
