Answer:
Option A:
Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)
Explanation:
The half reactions given are:
Zn(s) → Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)
Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s)
From the given half reactions, we can see that in the first one, Zn undergoes oxidation to produce Zn^(2+).
While in the second half reaction, Cu^(2+) is reduced to Cu.
Thus, for the overall reaction, we will add both half reactions to get;
Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)
2e^(-) will cancel out to give us;
Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)
Answer:
Corrosion
Explanation:
Silver, although known as a nobble metal, is also subject to corrosion process such as having silver tarnish when exposed to sulfur and air.
Tarnishing occurs on the surfaces of some metals such as brass, copper, and silver, which results in a corroded layer. Silver tarnish occurs from the chemical reaction that takes place when silver is exposed to sulfur which results in the formation of black Ag₂S
In order to restore the original silver surface, the silver tarnish (silver sulfide) layer is removed.
We have the statement presented here as follows;
The forks shown are made of silver (Ag). Some of the silver forks shown have lost their luster - they have become tarnished. This is an example of <u>Corrosion.</u>
Answer:
D. Surface tension.
Explanation:
Surface tension is defined as the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit amount.
The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules:
A molecule in a liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions while molecules at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.
