This is the complete question:


Atoms of which element react spontaneously with Mg2+(aq)? (1)chromium
(2)barium
(3)iron
 (4)zinc


Answer: option 2. barium.

Explanation.

1) Mg ²⁺ (aq) is the aquous cation of the metal Mg.

2) Only a metal more reactive than Mg will be able to exchange with it the oxidation states.

3) Mg is an earth alkalyne metal (group 2 of the periodic table). The metals from this group are more reactive than the metals in the groups to its right: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ... Only the alkalyne metals (those in group 1) are more reactive than the earth alkalyne metals.

4) Of the list, barium is the only alkalyne metal, so it is more reactive than Mg and will be able to deliver 2 electrons to transform the cations Mg²⁺ into Mg while the very Ba will become Ba²⁺.

5) Chromium, iron and zinc are transition metals, so less metallic (reactive) than Mg.

Answer is: (2) barium.

Chemical reaction: Mg²⁺(aq) + Ba(s) → Mg(s) + Ba²⁺(aq).

Reactivity series is an empirical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their reactivity from highest to lowest (alkaline metals have highest reactivity and Noble metals lowest reactivity).

This series are used to summarize information about the reactions of metals with acids or water, double displacement reactions (more reactive metals displace metals with lower reactivity) and the extraction of metals from their ores.

In this example, barium is more reactive than magnesium, iron, chromium and zinc are less reactive.

Both of the lizards have adapted by having their skin the same colour as their habitat so they could camouflage into the environment and not be spotted by predators.

A 20.0 gram sample of an element contains 4.95 x 1023 atoms. what is the element?

Sonja [21]

You will want to find how many grams are in a whole mole so you know which element it is. To do this, find out how much of a mole you have.

4.95 x 10^23 atoms / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms (one whole mole of any element) = .8219860511 or ~82% of 1 mole

Now we know that, find what to multiply 20 g by to get the rest of the mole.

1 mole / .8219860511 mole = 1.216565657

20 g x 1.216565657 = ~24.33 g / mol

Now that you have grams per mole, you can look at the periodic table and the molar masses to see which this number is closely aligned.

Your answer is Magnesium (Mg), which has a molar mass of 24.305 g

list 10 chemical reactions that have benefited your life today. Include the reasons you think each was indeed a chemical reactio

Dennis_Churaev [7]

1) The overall balanced photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

Plants convert solar energy into the chemical energy of sugars (food).

2) Chemical reaction of cellular respiration:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O.

Organic carbon (glucose) is transformed into inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) that goes into atmosphere.

3) Gasoline combustion:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O.

Gasoline is a mixture of many different hydrocarbons: alkanes (paraffins), cycloalkanes and alkenes (olefins).

Gasoline is being burn.

4) Balanced chemical reaction of forming rust: 4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃.

Forming rust usually last for few months and iron changing in another substance with different properties.

5) An electrochemical cell (voltaic or galvanic cell) is generating electrical energy from chemical reactions.

In galvanic cell, specie (for example zinc and zinc cations) from one half-cell, lose electrons (oxidation) and species from the other half-cell (for example copper and copper cations) gain electrons (reduction).

Oxidation on the zinc anode: Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.

Reduction on the copper cathode: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s).

Copper is forming from the solution, that is chemical change.

6) Balanced chemical reaction: CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂.

Making limewater (diluted solution of calcium hydroxide).

7) Neutralization is reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other. In this reaction, there are no acids and bases, only salts.

Balanced chemical reaction of vinegar and antacid:

2CH₃COOH(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(aq) → (CH₃COO)₂Mg(s) + 2H₂O(l).

Precipation is formed.

8) Balanced chemical reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid:

MgO + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂O(g).

Acid dissolves metal oxides.

9) Chemical reaction of silver in air:

4Ag + 2H₂S + O₂ → 2Ag₂S (tarnish) + 2H₂O.

Silver change color in the air.

10) Forming of patina: 2CuO + CO₂ + H₂O → Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂.

Brass (copper) change color to green.
