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>

Refer to the two formulas for xylose.
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

A is the molecular formula for xylose because shows the actual number of atoms in the compound: Formula B is the empirical formula for xylose because it shows the smallest whole-number ratio for the different atoms in the compound: Formula A is the molecular formula for xylose because shows the arrangement of atoms in the compound: Formula B is the structurab formula for xylose because it shows the smallest whole-number ratio for the different atoms in the compound: Formula A is the empirical formula for xylose because it shows the actual number of atoms in the compound: Formula B is the molecular formula for xylose because it shows the smallest whole-number ratio for the different atoms in the compound: Formula A is the structural formula for xylose because it shows the arrangement of atoms in the compound: Formula B is the empirical formula for xylose because it shows the smallest whole-number ratio for the different atoms in the compound.

Which coefficients will balance this equation? *<br> Ag +<br> C2 &gt;<br> AC2
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

16Ag + 2C2 ---> 4 Ag4C

Explanation:

Ag + C2 ----> AgC2

The valence of Ag is one

Valence of Carbon is four

A balanced equation would be

16Ag + 2C2 ---> 4 Ag4C
