Answer:

Below

Nitric acid

Lead

Sodium nitrate

Explanation:

The activity series is an arrangement of metals in order of decreasing reactivity. Metals that are higher up in the series displace metals that are lower in the series from dilute solutions. Hence, when the ion of a metal that is lower in the series reacts with a metal that is higher up in the series, the latter is oxidized.

Dilute acids dissolve metals above hydrogen in the activity series such as as zinc and lead. Platinum is much lower than sodium in the activity series hence platinum does not react with sodium nitrate.

A solution is prepared by dissolving 4.40 g of KSCN in enough water to make 200 mL of solution. What is the concentration of the

attashe74 [19]

First find the number of moles of KSCN is in 4.40g of KSCN 1. Number of moles = mass given (4.40g) / molecular weight(MW) (KSCN) - to calculate MW, look for each element in the periodic table and add their atomic weight 2. Convert 200mL to liters 3. Concentration = number of moles/ volume in liters from (#2)

The following reaction occurs in a car’s catalytic converter.

blagie [28]

Answer:The correct answer is ;

The oxidation state of nitrogen in NO changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in CO changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

Explanation:

$2NO(g)+2CO(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2CO_2(g)$

In an oxidation recation addition of oxygen atom takes place or loss of electrons takes place.

In an reduction reaction removal of oxygen atom takes place or gain of electrons takes place.

In the given reaction , the nitrogen atom is present in +2 oxidation state in NO molecule and present in 0 oxidation state in $N_2$ molecule. Hence, nitrogen is getting reduced that is reduction reaction. NO is oxidizing agent

In the given reaction , the carbon atom is present in +2 oxidation state in CO molecule and present in +4 oxidation state in $CO_2$ molecule. Hence ,carbon is getting oxidized that is oxidation reaction. CO is a reducing agent.
