Answer:

The displacement reactions are regarded as redox reactions because they involve the formal transfer of electrons from one chemical specie to the other

2) The series of reactivity of the metals in the order of increasing reactivity are;

  • Copper

           ↓

  • Zinc

           ↓

  • Magnesium

Explanation:

1) Redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction is a chemical reaction involving the loss and gain of electrons from one chemical species to another, where the chemical species that undergoes oxidation, loses electrons and is termed the reducing agent, while the other chemical species that undergoes reduction, gains electrons, and is termed the oxidizing agent

2) The redox reaction can being based on the affinity for electrons depends on the positions of the reactants in the electrochemical series as well as the chemical reactivity of the metals with zinc being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than copper and magnesium being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than zinc

Least  reactive (Cu)  <     (Zn)        < Mg Most reactive

Copper                     <      Zinc       < Magnesium.

What is the [OH-] in a solution if the [H*] = 1.2 x 10-3 M?
spayn [35]

We know that [OH⁻] * [H⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴

plugging the value of [H⁺]

[OH⁻] * 1.2 * 10⁻³ = 10⁻¹⁴

[OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴ * (10³/1.2)

[OH⁻] = 833.3 * 10⁻¹⁴

[OH⁻] = 8.33 * 10⁻¹²
