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.

cupoosta [38]
Adding (S2O3)2- would affect the reaction mechanism that involves this ion. From the reaction mechanism given above, the equilibrium of step 2 would be affected. Adding the stock solution of (S2O3)2- would shift the equilibrium to the right thus making more products of the said mechanism. Also, the reaction rate of this step would occur faster than the original rate. This is based on Le Chatelier's Prinicple which states that a corresponding change would happen to the equilibrium of a reaction when pressure, concentration of the substances or temperature is changed. So, that after the addition, a color change would appear immediately because I3- would be removed slowly from solution, and would therefore be able to react with starch.

Why does a solid have a definite shape and volume?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Particles in a solid have fixed locations in a volume that does not change. Solids have a definite volume and shape because particles in a solid vibrate around fixed locations.

When an apple or banana is cut, a chemical reaction with air causes the flesh to turn brown. Placing the fruit in a cold place,
PIT_PIT [208]

Apples turn brown when exposed to air because it undergoes aerial oxidation.  Due to this, when the inside of the apple is exposed to the air containing oxygen and water, it turns brown. When apple is uncut, skin of the apple protects it from this process. 


If the peeled apple in kept in the refrigerator, the oxidation reaction is greatly slowed down. This is because, rate of chemical reaction decreases with temperature. Hence, in refrigerator it would take several days for it to turn brown.
