Sorry I came a lil late,
The answer to your question is, 2.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer: The metal that has a greater reactivity is more easily oxidized.
Explanation:
Oxidation is when the elements lose electrons and increase their oxidation state.
The metals tend to react by losing electrons and form the corresponding cation.
For expample, sodium (an alkalyne metal) loses one elecron and form the cation Na¹⁺ , then this cation combine with an anion and form compounds like NaCl, NaOH. The same do the other alkalyne metals.
Magnesium (an alkalyne earth metal) loses two electrons and form the cation Mg²⁺, then it combines with some anions to form compounds, like MgSO₄, Mg(OH)₂.
So, the easier the metal gets oxidized the greater its reactivity.
Given that
Mass of water = 65.34 g
Amount of heat = mass of water * specific heat (temperature change
)
= 65.34 g * 4.184 J / g-C ( 21.75-18.43 )C
= 907.63 J
= 0.908 KJ
And
1 cal = 4.186798 J
907.63 J * 1 cal / 4.186798 J =216.78 cal
Or0.218 kcal
