Answer:i really know it is 29.09
Explanation:
I believe the answer is
At the moment it is the best way of explaining our scientific knowledge.
Answer:
Option A:
Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)
Explanation:
The half reactions given are:
Zn(s) → Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)
Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s)
From the given half reactions, we can see that in the first one, Zn undergoes oxidation to produce Zn^(2+).
While in the second half reaction, Cu^(2+) is reduced to Cu.
Thus, for the overall reaction, we will add both half reactions to get;
Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)
2e^(-) will cancel out to give us;
Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)
Answer : If we list the given chemicals according to their increasing oxidising ability then the order will be like this; 1 being the strongest and 6 being the weakest
1. K > 2. Ca >3. Ni> 4. Cu> 5. Ag> 6.Au
Explanation : Considering the reduction potential of each chemical species it will be easy to identify their oxidising capacity and differentiate accordingly;
More negative the value of reduction potential more is the ability of the chemical species to get oxidised.
Chemicals with their reduction potential is given below.
K has -2.92; Ca has -2.76; Ni has -0.23; Cu has 0.52; Ag has 1.50 and Au has 1.50.
