A

By using nitrogen-fixing bacteria

48
Q

An important compound of nitrogen is __________.

Nitric acid is ____ times as dense as water

51
Q

What is the boiling point of Nitric acid

A

86 degrees Celsius

52
Q

Even though it rarely produces hydrogen when it reacts with metals, _____ (a dilute acid) shows the usual properties of a _____.

A

Nitric acid. Acid

53
Q

Is nitric acid stable

A

no nitric acid is not stable

54
Q

Why is nitric acid a good oxidizing agent?

A

Due to the ease of decomposition

55
Q

When nitric acid reacts with metals, the nitrogen formed will depend on the conditions of the reaction, especially the _________, ________, and ______

A

concentration of the acid, the activity of the metal, and the temperature.

56
Q

60
Q

T/F Metals are soluble in any ordinary solvent without the need for a chemical change

A

F, Metals are NOT soluble in any ordinary solvent with a chemical change

61
Q

Can metals conduct heat and electricity?

62
Q

Are metals electropositive

63
Q

T/F the most active metal oxides form bases

64
Q

Do ALL metals form bases?

A

No, some form amphoteric hydroxides that can react as both acids and bases

65
Q

Can iron be refined by a reduction in a blast furnace?

66
Q

Hot air blasts from a blast furnace are enriched with _______.

67
Q

What is pig iron?

A

Molten iron from a blast furnace

68
Q

What is the basic oxygen furnace?

A

Pig iron is poured into a pot. There high-speed bursts of oxygen are blasted on top of the pig iron. This “burns out” the impurities in the pig iron

69
Q

What is the open-hearth furnace?

A

Molten iron, scrap steel, and other metals are put together and melted with alternating burst of fire until the desired properties are attained.

70
Q

How does an electric arc furnace work?

A

a large amount of electricity goes through graphite cathodes before it is lowered into the molten iron to purify it (Not as common as the other methods)

71

A mixture of two or more metals

72
Q

T/F the melting point of an alloy is higher than that of its components.

A

F, alloys have a lower melting point

73
Q

T/F Alloys are harder than the metals that compose it

74
Q

Does the size of the crystalline particles in the alloy determine many of the alloy’s physical properties

75
Q

The size of the crystalline structures in alloys can be controlled by ________.

A

heat treatment

76
Q

What are metalloids?
