Correct Answer: option <span>(1) Mn(s)

Reason: 
The </span><span>spontaneity of electrochemical cell, depends on the it's Eo value. Electrochemical cells with positve Eo are spontanous and vice-versa.
</span>
In present case, the  Eo of half-cell of interest are as follows:
Eo Zn2+/Zn = <span>-0.763v
</span>Eo Mg2+/Mg = 2.37v
Eo Mn2+/Mn = -1.18v

Therefore, Eo cell (with Zn as one of the half-cell) =  Eo Zn2+/Zn - Eo Mn2+/Mn
                                                                                =  -0.763 - (-1.18)
                                                                                = 0.417v

On other hand, Eo cell (with Mg as one of the half-cell) =  Eo Mg2+/Zn - Eo Mn2+/Mn
                                                                                =  -2.37 - (-1.18)
                                                                                = -1.19v

Thus, Mn(s) <span>metal will spontaneously react with Zn2+(aq), but will not spontaneously react with Mg2+(aq)</span>

The mass of a solid substance is 21.112 g. If the volume of the solid substance is 19.5 cm3, calculate the density of the substa
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

ρ = 1.08 g/cm³

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of the substance (m): 21.112 g

Volume of the substance (V): 19.5 cm³

Step 2: Calculate the density of the substance

The density (ρ) of a substance is equal to its mass divided by its volume.

ρ = m / V

ρ = 21.112 g / 19.5 cm³

ρ = 1.08 g/cm³

The density of the substance is 1.08 g/cm³.

A hydrocarbon of pentane has two isomeric forms—n-pentane and iso-pentane. The molecular formula of the n-pentane is C5H12. Pred
Monica [59]
An iso pentane is an isomeric form of n-pentane. Isomers have same molecular formula but differ in the atomic arragement projected in 3D and the arrangement of atoms primarily resulting to a different set of properties. In this case, isopentane also has a molecular formula of an alkane <span>C5H12</span>
