What distinguishes a metal from a nonmetal?

Metals are high thermal and electrical conductivity, high luster, malleability, and ductility. Nonmetals have relatively high electron affinities and enter into chemical combination with metals by gaining electrons to become anions

What does ionization potential measure?

It measures the energy required to remove an electron from an atom in the gaseous state

What does electron affinity measure?

It measures the energy produced when an electron is added to a species in the gas phase and is the inverse of the ionization energy in a physical sense, but the values are not just of opposite sign because you are considering slightly different processes; in each case, they differ by one electron

Why must oxidation be accompanied by a reduction?

Because the oxidized element loses electrons and becomes more positive while the reduced element gains electrons and becomes more negative. Oxidization is always associated with a concomitant reduction, and the electron cannot just be given up to free space.

How does one determine the relative reactivities of metals?

By systematically observing the displacement reactions among metals and their cations, it is possible to determine the relative oxidation potentials of the metals. The metal with the lower reduction potential will reduce a cation of a metal with a higher reduction potential.

If your percent yield of copper were greater than 100% what are two plausible errors you may have made

the sample may have not had been fully dried and still ahve some h20 impurities mixed in with copper

consider the combustion of methane, CH4, what is the limiting reagent, how many moles of co2 can be made from this mixture? how many grams of co2? CH4(g) + 2O2(g) -> CO2(g) + 2H20 (g)

limiting reagent: oxygen
3mol O2 x 1mol CO2/2mol O2 = 1.5 mol CO2
1.5 mol CO2 x 44g CO2/1mol CO2 = 66g CO2

Suppose 8 g of CH4 is allowed to burn in the presence of 6.00g of oxygen. how much in grams, CH4, O2, CO2, and H2O remain after the reaction is complete?

8.00g CH4 (1molCh4/6gCH4) = .5 mol
(2molO2/1molCH4)=1.0 mol O2
6.00g O2 (1molO2/32g O2) = .1875 mol (1mol/2mol) =.09375 mol
CH4 = 6.50 g CO2=4.13g O2=0g H20= 3.375 g

define molarity

concentration measured by the number of moles of solute per liter of solution

how many ml of 6.0 M H2So4 are required to react with .80g of CuO

.80gCuO x 1mol/79.59CuO x 1molH2SO4/1molCuO= .0100628 mol H2SO4

.01902 mol Znx 1molZn/65.4g=.72g 2.00g-.72g = 1.28 g Zn remains
