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>

What mass of sodium chloride (NaCl) forms when 7.5 g of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) reacts with a dilute solution of hydrochloric
Gre4nikov [31]

 The mass of NaCl  formed  is 8.307  grams


<u><em> calculation</em></u>

step 1: write the equation  for reaction

Na₂CO₃  + 2HCl → 2 NaCl  +CO₂ +H₂O

Step 2: find the  moles of Na₂CO₃

moles = mass/molar mass

 The  molar mass of Na₂CO₃  is = (23 x2) + 12 + ( 16 x3) = 106 g/mol

moles  = 7.5 g/106 g/mol =0.071 moles

Step 3: use the  mole ratio to determine the  mole of NaCl

Na₂CO₃:NaCl  is  1:2  therefore the moles of NaCl =0.07  x2 =0.142 moles


Step 4:  calculate mass  of NaCl

mass= moles x molar mass

the molar  mass of NaCl= 23 +35.5 =58.5 g/mol

mass  = 0.142  moles x 58.5 g/mol =8.307  grams

a 160 milligram sample of a radioactive isotope decays to 10 kilograms in 12 years. what is the half life of this element
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

3 years

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial amount of sample = 160 Kg

Amount left after 12 years = 10 Kg

Half life = ?

Solution:

at time zero = 160 Kg

1st half life = 160/2 = 80 kg

2nd half life = 80/2 = 40 kg

3rd half life = 40 / 2 = 20 kg

4th half life = 20 / 2 = 10 kg

Half life:

HL = elapsed time / half life

12 years / 4 = 3 years

What is the formula for nitrogen monoxide?
WINSTONCH [101]
The answer is NO.

Mono- means 1, so monoxide would indicate that there is 1 oxygen.

The N is double bonded to the O:

N=O

And has an unpaired set of electrons
