In 1804, the Italian geologist G. Thompson, who was studying an iron-nickel meteorite, attempted to clean the dull patina from it by using a nitric acid wash. Strange figures like
the ones in the photo below soon emerged on the surface. These patterns are now known
as Widmanstätten patterns. These patterns are the result of an extraordinarily slow cooling
(millions of years) of the metal meteorite.
What do these patterns reveal about the material making up the iron-nickel meteorite?

Consider three unlabeled bottles, each contain small pieces of one of the following metals. - magnesium - sodium - silver the following reagents are used for identifying the metals. - pure water - a solution of 1.0 molar hcl - a solution of concentrated hno3 (a) which metal can be easily identified because it is much softer than the other two? describe a chemical test that distinguishes this metal from the other two, using only one of the reagents above. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs. (b) one of the other two metals reacts readily with the hcl solution. identify the metal and write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when this metal is added to the hcl solution. use the table of standard reduction potentials (attached) to account for the fact that this metal reacts with hcl while the other does not. (c) the one remaining metal reacts with the concentrated hno3 solution. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs. (d) the solution obtained in (c) is diluted and a few drops of 1 m hcl is added. describe what would be observed. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs.

A5 mole sample of liquid acetone is converted to a gas at 75.0°c. if 628 j are required to raise the temperature of the liquid to the boiling point, 15.600 kj are required to evaporate the liquid, and 712 j are required to raise the final temperature to 75.0°c, what is the total energy required for the conversion?
