D, democritus is the answer i got
Answer:
Ag
Explanation:
To determine which element will displace hydrogen from a dilute acid, we need to make reference to the activity series or the electrochemical series. The activity series is a list of metallic ions according to their electropositivity.
This means elements are ranked here based on how electrically positive they are. Hence, an element above another element is relatively more electropositive than the one under it. For example calcium is less electropositive compared to sodium as calcium is found under sodium in the list.
Now, for an element to displace hydrogen, it means the particular element is more electropositive than hydrogen on the activity series. All the elements in the options are in a greater position relative to hydrogen on the activity series except silver. This means it cannot displace hydrogen from a dilute mineral acid
<span>No, this is not possible. The reason for this impossibility is that the electrons are not attracted to one another, and thus, would repel. If you were to push the atoms into each other, the electrons would then prevent this from happening. Essentially atoms will bounce off of one another due to the repel of charges.</span>

Answer:
- <em>The mystery substance is</em> <u>C. Bromine (Br) </u>
Explanation:
<em>Argon (Ar) </em>is a noble gas. Whose freezing point is -189 °C (very low), thus it cannot be the frozen substance. Also, it is not reactive, thus is would have not reacted with iron. Hence, argon is not the mystery substance.
<em>Scandium (Sc) </em>is a metal from group 3 of the periodic table, thus is will not react with iron. Thus, scandium is not the mystery substance.
Both <em>bromine</em> and <em>iodine</em> are halogens (group 17 of the periodic table).
The freezing point of bromine is −7.2 °C, and the freezing point of iodine is 113.7 °C. Thus, both could be solids (frozen) in the lab.
The reactivity of the halogens decrease from top to bottom inside the group. Bromine is above iodine. Then bromine is more reactive than iodine.
Bromine is reactive enough to react with iron. Iodine is not reactive enough to react with iron.
You can find in the internet that bromine vapour over hot iron reacts producing iron(III) bromide. Also, that bromine vapors are red-brown.
Therefore, <em>the mystery substance is bromine (Br).</em>
