Answer is: Hg (mercury).

Reactivity series is an empirical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their reactivity from highest to lowest (alkaline metals have highest reactivity and Noble metals lowest reactivity). This series are used to summarize information about the reactions of metals with acids or water, double displacement reactions (more reactive metals displace metals with lower reactivity) and the extraction of metals from their ores.

In this example, magnesium and lead are more reactive than copper, mercury is less reactive.

List 2 things that about Velocity and Speed that are Different and two that are the same.

frozen [14]

Hey there!
Speed and velocity both:
1) Measure how fast something is moving
2) Both measured in miles per hour, meters/second, etc (rates)
However, there's a prime difference:
Different because:
1) Velocity is speed, but in a certain direction
2) Velocity is a vector
3) Velocity can be positive or negative, unlike speed.
I added another just in case you had a preference :)

Hope this helps!

Which of the following gases would diffuse the fastest? CH 4 CCl 4 O 2 H 2

Sholpan [36]

H2 because the smaller the gas molecule, the faster the diffusion. (the lightest molecule will diffuse the quickest)

What does it mean for heat to be transferred by radiation?

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

It means that the heat comes directly at you without relying on any material to conduct it.

For example, you feel the heat from a campfire even if the wind is blowing crosswise to you and the fire.

Problem PageQuestion Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume

IgorC [24]

Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume of hydrogen chloride would be produced by this reaction if 3.16 L of chlorine were consumed at STP.

Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer: Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm (at STP)

V = Volume of gas = 3.16 L

n = number of moles = ?

R = gas constant = $0.0821Latm/Kmol$

T =temperature = $273K=$

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

$n=\frac{1atm\times 3.16L}{0.0820 L atm/K mol\times 273K}=0.141moles$

$CH_4+4Cl_2\rightarrow 4HCl+CCl_4$

According to stoichiometry:

4 moles of chlorine produces = 1 mole of carbon tetrachloride

Thus 0.141 moles of methane produces = $\frac{1}{4}\times 0.141=0.0352$ moles of carbon tetrachloride

volume of carbon tetrachloride = $moles\times {\text {Molar volume}}=0.0352mol\times 22.4L/mol=0.788L$

Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L

Which process is endothermic?a)b)c)d)The evaporation of water from the skin.The burning of candle wax.The oxidation of iron in a

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The answer is option a. The evaporation of water from the skin

Explanation:

An endothermic reaction is any synthetic reaction that retains heat from its environment. The ingested energy gives the enactment energy to the reaction to happen.

No new bonds formed, no bonds broken in this example. water molecules go from liquid to vapour (gas ), intermolecular bond exist between polar (-OH) molecules and energy is required to break these bonds during the change from liquid to gas. So, it is endothermic .

Remaining three above examples are exothermic. combustion of gas releases energy(exothermic). burninig of the candle exothermic because the energy released from the oxygen into carbon dioxide and water.oxidation of iron also exothermic
