The highly reactive metals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc. Are extracted by the.

1 answer:

3 0

Metals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc. are extracted by electrolysis of their chlorides in molten state.

These metals are not extracted by reduction of their oxides with carbon because:

Carbon has less affinity for oxygen than these metals

Carbon is a weaker reducing agent than these metals

These metals easily form oxides with oxygen, their oxides are very stable. Affinity to the oxygen is one the greatest of all elements.

Reducing agent is element or compound who loose electrons in chemical reaction. Sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium are very strong reducing agents because they easily loose one or two valence electrons.

Electrolysis is a chemical methode that uses electric currents for chemical reactions.

What are the correct half reactions for the following reaction:

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

D. Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻, 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂.

Explanation:

It is a redox reaction that is consisted of two half-reactions:

Oxidation reaction:

Zn losses 2 electrons and is oxidized to Zn²⁺:

Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻.

Reduction reaction:

H⁺ gains 1 electron and is reduced to H:

2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂.

So, the right choice is: D. Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻, 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂.

? Answer the question below. Type your response in the space provided. What volume of a 2.5 M stock solution of acetic acid (HC2

Novay_Z [31]

Data:
$M_{concentrated} = 2.5\:mol$
$V_{concentrated} = ?$
$M_{dilute} = 0.50\:mol$
$V_{dilute} = 100\:mL\to0.100\:L$

Formula: Dilution Calculations

 $M_{concentrated} * V_{concentrated} = M_{dilute} * V_{dilute}$

Solving:


$M_{concentrated} * V_{concentrated} = M_{dilute} * V_{dilute}$
$2.5 * V_{concentrated} = 0.50 * 0.100$
$2.5V_{concentrated} = 0.05$
$V_{concentrated} = \frac{0.05}{2.5}$
$\boxed{\boxed{V_{concentrated} = 0.02\:L\:or\:20\:mL}} \end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Provide a definition of a closed system.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

A closed system is a physical system that does not allow transfer of matter in or out of the system, though, in different contexts, such as physics, chemistry or engineering, the transfer of energy is or is not allowed.
