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>

8. Calculate the number of moles of eachsubstance.a. 5.45 x 1026 particles of methane, CH4

Klio2033 [76]

<em>ANSWER</em>

The number of moles of methane is 905.32 moles

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given information

The number of particles of methane = 5.45 x 10^26 particles

Let x represents the number of moles of methane

To calculate the number of moles, we will be using the below formula

$\text{Number of particles = number of moles x Avogadro's constant}$

Recall that, the Avogadro's constant is given as

$6.02\cdot10^{23}$ $\begin{gathered} 5.45\cdot10^{26}\text{ = x }\cdot\text{ 6.02 }\cdot10^{23} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 6.02 }\cdot10^{23} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{5.45\cdot10^{26}}{6.02\cdot10^{23}} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{5.45}{6.02}\cdot10^{26\text{ - 23}} \\ x\text{ = 0.9053 }\cdot10^3 \\ x\text{ = 905.32 moles} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the number of moles of methane is 905.32 moles

Consider the reaction between iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3 and carbon monoxide, CO. Fe2O3 + 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO2 In the process, 213

s344n2d4d5 [400]

To calculate the mass of Fe formed in a) we get first the limiting reactant between Fe2O3 and CO. Given the masses, the ratio of Fe2O3 is 1.33 while that of CO is 1.67. Hence the limiting reagent is Fe2O3. The mass of Fe formed is 148.98 grams. In b, the needed CO is only 112.04 grams. Hence, the excess is 27. 96 grams.

How could you safely determine if a base is stronger than an acid?

expeople1 [14]

You should never taste anything in a lab.
Litmus paper will only tell you whether it is an acid or a base, not how strong it is a hydrogen test only works with acids.
You can get a serious burn from touching strong acids and bases and it doesn't give an objective measure of the strength.
The only one that is left is conductivity. This is safe and rather reliable, because the "strength" of an acid or a base depends on how much it dissociates. Hence more dissociation means greater conductivity.
