The best example is C. Heat flows from a hot liquid to a pot handle.
Answer: Melatonin has been used safely for up to 2 years in some people. However, it can cause some side effects including headache, short-term feelings of depression, daytime sleepiness, dizziness, stomach cramps, and irritability. Do not drive or use machinery for four to five hours after taking melatonin.
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:
D
Explanation:
Metallic character decreases as you move across a period in the periodic table from left to right. This occurs as atoms more readily accept electrons to fill a valence shell than lose them to remove the unfilled shell. Metallic character increases as you move down an element group in the periodic table. This is because electrons become easier to lose as the atomic radius increases, where there is less attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons because of the increased distance between them.
