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>

Write a balanced chemical equation for the synthesis of ammonia from its elements including the word energy as a product
Katen [24]
Ammonia synthesis can be done by Haber process. N₂ gas and H₂ gas are used as the reactants. <span>The balanced reaction equation is
</span>N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇄ 2NH₃(g) + energy

This is a reversible process and the conditions as follows,
1. Pressure
should be 150 - 200 atm
2. Temperature
is between 450 - 500 °C
3. Catalyst is iron

In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased, what happens to the temperature if pressure remains constant?
Flura [38]

The correct answer is A. In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased and the pressure is constant, then the temperature decreases.

 <span>P1V1/ T1 = P2V2 / T2</span>

 <span>Assume the volume decrease by half; V2 = V1/2</span>

 <span>P1V1/ T1 = P2V1 /2 T2</span>

 <span>Cancelling terms,</span>

 <span>1/T1 = 1/2 T2</span>

T2 = T1/2

 <span>Thus, the temperature decreased.</span>

Which one of the following metals would NOT displace hydrogen from a dilute solution of HCl? 1. Ag 2. Fe 3. Al 4. Ni
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Ag

Explanation:

To determine which element will displace hydrogen from a dilute acid, we need to make reference to the activity series or the electrochemical series. The activity series is a list of metallic ions according to their electropositivity.

This means elements are ranked here based on how electrically positive they are. Hence, an element above another element is relatively more electropositive than the one under it. For example calcium is less electropositive compared to sodium as calcium is found under sodium in the list.

Now, for an element to displace hydrogen, it means the particular element is more electropositive than hydrogen on the activity series. All the elements in the options are in a greater position relative to hydrogen on the activity series except silver. This means it cannot displace hydrogen from a dilute mineral acid
