Does platinum conduct electricity even better than gold?

BySonny811

Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering if platinum conducts electricity better than gold. The more valuable the metal, the better it conducts electricity? Is this always true? Bronze, for example, isn't particularly valuable and conducts electricity somewhat worse, while silver, for example, conducts electricity better. So I'm wondering if the conductivity always depends on the…

Reason for an osmotic balance concentration gradient?

Byperson498

Hello, I am currently thinking about how best to show/argue that the concentration gradient, which arises, for example, in a hypertonic relationship between the cell interior and the salt solution in the extracellular space, creates a suction or aspiration to minimize the concentration gradient. I had an idea using entropy, which is given by the…

Pb + H2SO4 -> PbSO4 + H2

Oxidation numbers:

Pb = 0

H2 +I

O = -II

S= + VI

The

Pb = +II

H2 =

O=II

S= +VI

So lead is oxidized 0->+II and hydrogen reduced -I -> 0

There is no such reaction. If you do not even write the task correctly (or you have an indelible task), your condition is not surprising.

But there is. Chemically it is necessary to go through lead nitrate but this has been reduced didactically
