When a magnesium wire is dipped into a solution of lead (II) nitrate, a black deposit forms on the wire. Which of the following

can be concluded from this observation?
(A) The standard reduction potential, Eo , for Pb2+(aq) is greater than that for Mg2+(aq).
(B) Mg(s) is less easily oxidized than Pb(s).
(C) An external source of potential must have been supplied.
(D) The magnesium wire will be the cathode of a Mg/Pb cell.
(E) Pb(s) can spontaneously displace Mg2+(aq) from solution.

Answer:The standard reduction potential, Eo , for Pb2+(aq) is greater than that for Mg2+(aq).

Explanation:

Metals are usually arranged in an order of reactivity called activity series. Metals that are high up in the series are good reducing agents with very low (very negative) reduction potentials. Metals with greater (less negative) reduction potentials are found lower in the series. In the image attached, elements were arranged according to their reducing ability. Magnesium is very electro positive hence it is a better reducing agent with a lesser standard reduction potential than lead(refer to the image for numerical values of standard reduction potentials). Hence it displaces lead from solution and the elemental lead deposits on the wire.

Chris noticed a high-pressure system in the weather forecast for Monday
Alchen [17]

Answer:

A. Clear and Sunny

Explanation:

The answer would be A. Clear and Sunny. A high pressure system occurs where the air mass above the Earth is denser than in surrounding areas, and therefore exerts a higher force or pressure. They usually happen with li9ght winds. Using process of elimination, it could not be D. Warm and Stormy, C. Cloudy and Rainy, or B. Cold and Stormy because all have wet climates.

What type of mutation occurred?
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

  • Insertions are mutations in which extra base pairs are inserted into a new place in the DNA. Deletions are mutations in which a section of DNA is lost, or deleted..
  • Germline mutations occur in gametes. Somatic mutations occur in other body cells.
  • Chromosomal alterations are mutations that change chromosome structure.
  • Point mutations change a single nucleotide.
  • Frameshift mutations are additions or deletions of nucleotides that cause a shift in the reading frame.
  • Deletion is a type of mutation involving the loss of genetic material. It can be small, involving a single missing DNA base pair, or large, involving a piece of a chromosome.
  • Base substitutions are the simplest type of gene-level mutation, and they involve the swapping of one nucleotide for another during DNA replication. For example, during replication, a thymine nucleotide might be inserted in place of a guanine nucleotide.
  • Silent mutations are base substitutions that result in no change of the amino acid or amino acid functionality when the altered messenger RNA (mRNA) is translated. For example, if the codon AAA is altered to become AAG, the same amino acid – lysine – will be incorporated into the peptide chain..

Why do chemically active metals have low electronegativity values?
sdas [7]
Active metals are those metals in the group 1 of the periodic table.

Electronegativity is the trend to atract electrons.

Active metals have few valence electron, because their last shell is of the kind ns^1 or ns^2

Then, these atoms do not trend to attract electrons. The most electronegative atomos are those who have 7 valence elecfrons; this is their last shell is of the kind ns^7, because when they attract one electron to its valence shell they will complete 8 electrons which is the most stable configuration.
