While metal B is being reduced from an ion to a solid metal, metal A is being oxidized.

Metal A is being displaced because, through oxidation, it transforms from a solid metal to ions in a solution.

What is Oxidation ?

Redox reactions include a change in the oxidation state of the substrate. Loss of electrons or a rise in an element's oxidation state are both considered to be oxidation.

Gaining electrons or lowering the oxidation state of an element or its constituent atoms are both examples of reduction.

In general, the term "reduction" refers to a reaction in which a chemical receives additional electrons; the compound that gets electrons is referred to as being reduced. We can think of the transformation of a ketone or an aldehyde into an alcohol as a two-electron reduction because hydride can be thought of as a proton plus two electrons.

So finally we can say that Metal A is being oxidized.

Which direction will the following reaction (in a 5.0 L flask) proceed if the pressure of CO_2(g) is 1.0 atm? CaCO_3(s) rightarr
storchak [24]

Answer:

d. To the left because Q > K_p

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction:

CaCO_3(s) \rightarrow CaO(s) + CO_2(g)

The pressure-based equilibrium expression is:

Kp=p_{CO_2}

In such a way, since Kp is given we rather compute the reaction quotient at the specificed pressure of carbon dioxide as shown below:

Q=p_{CO2}=1.0

Therefore, since Q>Kp we can see that there are more products than reactants, which means that the reaction must shift leftwards towards the reactants in order to reestablish equilibrium, thus, answer is d. To the left because Q > Kp.

Regards.

Salivary amylase is an enzyme produced by the salivary glands that breaks down carbohydrates. What will happen to this enzyme as
o-na [289]

Answer:

It will be denatured.

Explanation:

Salivary amylase works best at pH 6.8.

At pH 2.5, its activity will decrease enormously as it becomes denatured by the high acidity of the stomach contents.

What is the potential energy of your 3 kg puppy that is sitting in the grass in your backyard?
lisov135 [29]

As we know that

P.E. = mgh

where,

P.E. = Potential energy of the object =?

m= mass of object= 3kg

g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 ms^-2

h = height between object and animal = 0 m

Then

P.E. = 3× 9.8 × 0 = 0 Joules or 0J
