Zinc will displace copper from a solution of copper sulfate, and magnesium will displace zinc from a solution of zinc sulfate. W

hy can these displacement reactions be regarded as redox reactions? Write down a series of reactivity for these three metals, putting them in order of increasing reactivity.

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.

Place the following covalent bonds in order from least to most polar: a. H-Cl b. H-Br c. H-S d. H-C
timofeeve [1]

Answer:


The Order is as follow,

                                     C-H < S-H < H-Br < H-Cl


Explanation:

                      Polarity depends on the electronegativity difference between two atoms, greater the electronegativity difference, greater will be the polarity of bond and vice versa.


Electronegativity Difference between Hydrogen and other given elements are as follow,


1) C-H;

               E.N of Carbon     = 2.55

               E.N of Hydrogen = 2.20

                                           ------------

               Difference              0.35


2) S-H;

               E.N of Sulfur       = 2.58

               E.N of Hydrogen = 2.20

                                           ------------

               Difference               0.38


3) H-Br;

               E.N of Bromine   = 2.96

               E.N of Hydrogen = 2.20

                                          -------------

               Difference              0.76


4) H-Cl;

               E.N of Chlorine   = 3.16

               E.N of Hydrogen = 2.20

                                           -----------

               Difference               0.96


Hence it is proved that the greatest electronegativity difference is found between H and Chlorine in H-Cl, therefore it is highly polar bond and vice versa.

1. Hermione is trying to replicate the Polyjuice Potion that they created in their second year at Hogwarts. The problem is that
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

A) Test(independent) variable is bat wings.

B) Result (dependent) Variable is the Polyjuice Potion.

C) Cauldrons and fire

Explanation:

A) A test/independent variable is the variable that is being tested in the experiment or research and it is not affected by other variables in the experiment.

Now, in this experiment, what is being tested is are the bat wings.. Thus;

Test(independent) variable is bat wings.

B) Result (dependent) Variable is a variable that depends on the independent variable being tested. From the question, the result is the Polyjuice Potion.

Thus, Result (dependent) Variable is the Polyjuice Potion.

C) The constants are things that don't change with respect to any of the other variables. In this case, they are; cauldrons and fire
