The purpose of a switch in a series circuit is to make it easy to open or close the electrical circuit, turning the flow of electricity on or off. A light bulb in a series circuit is used to determine whether or not electricity is flowing.

When a magnesium wire is dipped into a solution of lead (II) nitrate, a black deposit forms on the wire. Which of the following
bogdanovich [222]

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.

2h3po4 + 3mg(oh)2 → mg3(po4)2 + 6h2o phosphoric acid, h3po4, is neutralized by magnesium hydroxide, mg(oh)2, according to the eq
Rina8888 [55]
The balanced equation for the neutralisation reaction is as follows
2H₃PO₄ + 3Mg(OH)₂ --> Mg₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O
stoichiometry of H₃PO₄ to H₂O is 2:6
number of H₃PO₄ moles reacted - 0.24 mol
if 2 mol of H₃PO₄ form 6 mol of H₂O
then 0.24 mol of H₃PO₄ forms - 6/2 x 0.24 = 0.72 mol of H₂O
therefore 0.72 mol of H₂O are formed

What is the highest point of the wave a transverse wave called
topjm [15]
<span>The answer to the question "what is the highest point of the transverse wave called" is a crest or peak. A transverse wave is a wave in which the medium of the wave vibrates at 90 degrees to the direction in which the wave is moving at. The lowest points are called the troughs. Examples of transverse waves are light and electromagnetic radiation.</span>
