Answer:
d. The gold(III) ion is most easily reduced.
Explanation:
The standard reduction potentials are
Au³⁺ + 3e⁻ ⟶ Au; 1.50 V
Hg²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Hg; 0.85 V
Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Zn; -0.76 V
Na⁺ + e⁻ ⟶ Na; -2.71 V
A <em>more positive voltage</em> means that there is a <em>stronger driving force</em> for the reaction.
Thus, Au³⁺ is the best acceptor of electrons.
Reduction Is Gain of electrons and, Au³⁺ is gaining electrons, so
Au³⁺ is most easily reduced.
False that atom is the smallest identifiable unit of a compound.
The smallest identifiable unit of a compound is the Element. Element is the one which make up the compound and element is made up by atoms. Example of element is oxygen and hydrogen which make up water (H2O) which is a compound.
Answer:
Green light has longer wavelengths than orange light. Green light has fewer particles than orange light. Green light refracts less than orange light. That is why Green light slows down more quickly than orange light does.
