The question above is incomplete, the full question is given below:
What additional test would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen in the activity series of the following elements: magnesium, zinc, lead, copper and silver.

ANSWER
The position of hydrogen on a reactivity series can be determined by its ability to displace oxygen from the oxide of the metal concerned. If hydrogen is more reactive than a metal, it will displace oxygen from the metal oxide and reduce the metal oxide to its metal. If the metal is more reactive than hydrogen, hydrogen will not be able to reduce the metal oxide to its metal.

<span>Hydrogen is a tricky one due because
1. It has one electron.
2. Because of it having one electron and or tibial theory it is only half a shell due.

With hydrogen have one electron in its outer shell and it's being half full for it to become stable, it can either gain one electron to have a full shell or it can easily lose an electron, though the shell is at its lowest energy level.
Under the right condition, Hydrogen can react as a cation and an anion.</span>

State whether the following statements are true or false (with justification). (a) 1 mol of N2 has more molecules than 1 mol of

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

A. False.

Every substance contains the same number of molecules i.e 6.02x10^23 molecules

B. False.

Mass conc. = number mole x molar Mass

Mass conc. of 1mole of N2 = 1 x 28 = 28g

Mass conc. of 1mol of Ar = 1 x 40 = 40g

The mass of 1mole of Ar is greater than the mass of 1mole of N2

C. False.

Molar Mass of N2 = 2x14 = 28g/mol

Molar Mass of Ar = 40g/mol

The molar mass of Ar is greater than that of N2.

A cylinder was charged with 1.25 atm of oxygen gas, 6.73 atm of argon, and 0.895 atm of xenon. What is the mole fraction of each

katrin2010 [14]

Considering the Dalton's partial pressure, the mole fraction of each gas is:

$x_{oxygen}$ = 0.14
$x_{argon}$ = 0.76
$x_{xenon}$ = 0.10

<h3>Dalton's partial pressure</h3>

The pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure.

So, Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone:

$P_{T} =P_{1} +P_{2} +...+P_{n}$

where n is the amount of gases in the gas mixture.

This relationship is due to the assumption that there are no attractive forces between the gases.

Dalton's partial pressure law can also be expressed in terms of the mole fraction of the gas in the mixture. The mole fraction is a dimensionless quantity that expresses the ratio of the number of moles of a component to the number of moles of all the components present.

So in a mixture of two or more gases, the partial pressure of gas A can be expressed as:

$P_{A} =x_{A} P_{T}$

In summary, the total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of partial pressures of each gas.

Mole fraction of each gas

In this case, you know that:

$P_{oxygen }$ = 1.25 atm
$P_{argon}$ = 6.73 atm
$P_{xenon}$ = 0.895 atm
$P_{T} =P_{oxygen} +P_{argon}+P_{xenon}$ = 1.25 atm + 6.73 atm + 0.895 atm= 8.875 atm
